Great cottage and very central to the town. Also really close to fields for early morning dog walks.

We had a lovely time at 'The Snug'. There was everything you could need. It was especially cool during the hot weather, which was nice. The dog loved the cold stone floors. The town of Hawes is lovely with some nice shops and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning. A visit to the waterfalls is a must. We will hopefully be staying there again.

The Snug is a great base for a holiday in Hawes - even when it was freezing out, the cottage lived up to its apt name. Well stocked with useful equipment - the open fire made it a pleasure to return on cold days. Beds and furniture are very comfy and there are many welcoming provisions (and some nice little treats). Great location - at the heart oRead moref the village, with shops and (dog friendly) pubs right on the doorstep. Our favourites were The White Hart, The Fountain and The Green Dragon at Hardraw. Loads of great walks straight out of Hawes too - to suit any level of difficulty. We really enjoyed our stay. Hide
