Used the cottage as a base for long days and evenings out, so were only really there overnight (5 nights Oct 2019). Heating was rapid and powerful enough to dry wet waterproofs, boots, rucksacks etc overnight, ready for the next day's soaking. Kitchen was compact, clean and complete for our needs. Beds were very comfortable, as was the lounge. TV and sky were useful, if only to inform us how wet we were going to get tomorrow! For a couple such as ourselves, The Stable was an ideal size, well appointed and very cosy, with good access and car parking. Ideally, could have been a bit nearer Hawes, but it was a 5 minute drive to this nearest market town for meals and provisions. We recommend The Stable, and but for the distance from home, would be back more often.
