Property code: OC-DS950

Experience the Yorkshire countryside from this charming property overlooking Stags Fell with your friends, family and four-legged friend in tow. Hawes (1 mile) is a hub of life with tearooms serving up tasty treats, a weekly market and plenty of other places to visit including access to the picturesque Pennine Way walking trail.

The main living room is made for relaxation, with two sumptuous sofas, a Smart TV and a cosy wood burner for chilly winter evenings. Next door, the open-plan kitchen/diner is a great social space, with a modern kitchen equipped with everything you’ll need to fix meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a country-style dining table right next to the window. In addition to the living room, there is a snug with a wood burner and TV where you can take some time out, read a book and enjoy the views of the garden. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a double bed and two quaint window seats with a colour palette inspired by the greenery of the Dale. Two further bedrooms are furnished with twin beds with large windows filling the room with natural light. The final bedroom is a dual-aspect double with a characterful beamed ceiling in neutral colours creating a calming space to sleep. Completing the property is a therapeutic bathroom with a comfortable p-shaped bath and a revitalising rainfall showerhead.

The cheese lovers of the family will delight in the opportunity to visit the Wensleydale Creamery (less than half a mile) to see the process and sample the goods in the shop and cafe. Head off on a hunt for the local waterfalls of Aisgill Falls and Gayle Falls which lie a mile apart on a beautiful walking trail spanning just over 8 miles, with Cotter Force 3 miles into the route. Alternatively, head to Hawes (1 mile) and you can take the circular walking trail to Stags Fell itself, visiting Hardraw Force, England’s highest waterfall on the way for an active adventure.

An excellent location, beautiful surroundings and an easy, off-road walk into Hawes, A suitable house for an all-age family reunion. A visit to the creamery is a must!

Beautiful, spacious, comfortable and well equipped cottage in a great location. Easy walk into Hawes for pubs, restaurants and of course the Creamery whilst right next to the Pennine way for walking to waterfalls or the Roman road.

We had an excellent few days in the very well equipped house and given the cold and snowy weather we enjoyed the log burning stove - the bag of logs and kindling provided were gratefully received! The group of us came to walk and managed both low level and mountain walks directly from the house. We enjoyed cooking in the excellent kitchen which savRead moreed us from venturing out in winter weather. We would certainly be more than happy to come again. Hide

Excellent cottage for up to 8 people in the Hamlet of Gayle. Literally on the Penine way - path opposite driveway which offers walks in either direction. Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Would definitely recommend it and will probably go again if in the area in a group of 6 or more. Value for money for a group gathering.

Very poor welcome pack No logs in the fire starter pack. Guests should not be asked to strip their beds. Entry and departure times should be changed.

We had a lovely week. The cottage is very well situated for local walks and beautiful scenery. The Wensleydale Creamery is between the cottage and Hawes and we'll worth a visit. Lots to do in the area. The accommodation was excellent for our family group. Lovely big table to gather round but also two seating areas if we wanted some peace and quiRead moreet.
