Description

Such an old fantastic pub huge back room- well worth a visit and The Bowes Museum near Barnard Castle where we saw the famous gold swan at 20k. Lovely clean and well kept museum . Be back soon

The most comfortable cottage we have stayed at for the past ten years or more. Hawes is an excellent centre for exploring and enjoying the stunning scenery of the western dales . We have visited four times over the years and look forward to returning in the near future. We have used Yorkshire Holiday Cottages many times over the past years and hope to do so again.

Mr Howard W,
