Fabulous decorative elements including ornate mirrors and plush seating options deck out each and every room of this two-storey house. On the ground floor, discover an ever-inviting lounge with ample comfortable seating, an electric fire and a TV – the cosiest spot for curling up together after your day of adventure. For those who elect to eat in, the ground floor is also equipped with a kitchen and a separate dining room for preparing all your family’s favourites. As the night draws in, venture up to the first floor to find three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Each bedroom is presented with soft linens, far-reaching views and its own TV, a real joy to wake up to as each morning comes.
Although completely rural, Hawes is a bustling little town with shops, eateries and attractions all just a short walk from your doorstep. Find out about the area’s rich local history from the museum or take a trip to the creamery to find out how world-famous Wensleydale cheese is made (both 0.5 miles). This ever-scenic area is awash with wonderful waterfall beauty spots, so plot out a route to admire Hardraw Force (1.5 miles), Cotter Force (2.5 miles) and Aysgarth Falls (9.5 miles) nearby.
