This charming character cottage in Hawes provides a warm and welcoming base in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, well positioned for enjoying both peaceful countryside and traditional village life. With a private garden and a lounge warmed by a wood burner, your holiday home is ready and waiting at any time of the year.
Step inside to a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, featuring an exposed stone wall and a central dining table seating eight – a lovely setting for meals and local produce feasts. The kitchen is fully equipped for your stay, including a washing machine for added convenience. Leading off the kitchen, a cosy snug provides the perfect spot to sip a morning coffee or keep the chef company, complete with a Smart TV. The inviting main lounge is the heart of the home, with a quirky wood burner, plush seating, and plenty of space for games and movie nights. A handy ground-floor cloakroom rounds off this level. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms: three king-size rooms (two with their own en-suite bathrooms) and a twin room boasting stunning views across the Dales. A family bathroom serves the remaining rooms, providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. Outside, the cottage is surrounded by beautiful natural planting and wildflowers, with a patio area for soaking in the scenery. Savour al fresco dining with the dedicated BBQ and outdoor seating. Private parking is available for up to four cars, and for larger groups, there is a neighbouring property accommodating an additional six guests.
You’ll find yourself less than 500 metres from the centre of Hawes, where you can wander cobbled streets, browse the weekly market, and relax in tempting cafes with homemade treats. Walkers are spoilt for choice, with direct access to the Pennine Way and scenic routes along the Dales Way, plus beautiful walks to Hardraw Force (2 miles) and Aysgarth Falls (10 miles). The famous Wensleydale Creamery (0.5 miles) is a must-visit for cheese lovers, and the Dales Countryside Museum (under 1 mile) offers fascinating insight into local heritage. For wildlife and breathtaking views, head to Snaizeholme (4 miles) to see red squirrels in their natural woodland habitat.
