Perched on the outskirts of Hawes with stunning views across dales and fells, this detached stone cottage is a delightful home-from-home. Sleeping five guests in three bedrooms, this dog-friendly abode is warm and welcoming with a large back garden. Hawes is a great base for foodies and home to the famous Wensleydale Creamery, and it’s surrounded by magical walking country, making this ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who like a base in town.
Set back from the main road, this two-storey cottage has a cosy, traditional feel with large windows making the most of the glorious views. There’s a handy porch for leaving muddy boots before stepping into the comfortable lounge where deep sofas invite you to relax after roaming dales and fells, and windows overlook the surrounding countryside. When tummies start to rumble, the spacious kitchen/diner forms a sociable hub with all the essentials for preparing and dining at home, and more gorgeous views to inspire mouthwatering mealtimes. At the end of the day, head upstairs to get cosy beneath the covers of three charming bedrooms, two king-size and a single room with a fold-out bed for an additional person if required. A family bathroom, ground-floor WC and utility room offer comfort and convenience. Outside, a grassy garden circled by a stone wall provides the backdrop to al fresco drinks in the fresh Yorkshire air. The property benefits from one off-road parking space and additional on-street parking subject to availability.
Wander half a mile into town to explore the independent shops, antiques stores and eateries of this rural market town, and discover the lively Tuesday market. Walkers are spoilt for choice as the region is rich in trails, including the glorious waterfall at Aysgill Force (9.5 miles) and the Snaizeholme Red Squirrel Sanctuary (4 miles).
