Centrally located in the market town of Hawes, this cosy first-floor apartment puts you just moments from cobbled streets lined with independent shops, cosy cafes and traditional pubs. It’s on the site of a former printworks, with its gorgeous stone architecture setting the scene for a couple or solo traveller to explore the heritage and landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales.
You’ll access the building through a back courtyard and step into a shared entrance hall. A flight of stairs takes you to the front door of your private quarters, where original features, including exposed stonework and beams, give the property plenty of character. Prepare meals using Yorkshire produce sourced in Hawes or curl up in the lounge area of the open-plan living space with a holiday read. A king-size bedroom with a chic en-suite shower room gives you a comfortable space to shut out the world once you’ve finished sightseeing for the day. While there’s no dedicated outside space, you’re only 150 metres from the Pennine Way, which passes through Hawes.
A couple of streets away is the Dales Countryside Museum, which tells the stories of the people and traditions of the Yorkshire Dales. Wensleydale Creamery (0.5 miles) provides another flavour of local life, with the chance to see how the famous cheese is made – and enjoy guided tastings. Waterfall chasers will be in their element as both Hardraw Force and Cotter Force are only 2 miles from the apartment, while the spectacular Aysgarth Falls is 10 miles away, famous for its many film and TV appearances.
