Description

Three Halfway Houses is a delightful 'railway cottage', Originally there was one house called Halfway House and the powers that be decided to build the railway very close to the house, so as compensation they built the three cottages (Halfway Houses) and gave them to the owner of Halfway House! In the village of Garsdale (5 miles away) there are some identical railway cottages. Although the railway still operates from Garsdale it closed here many years ago.

This property is a cosy, two bed-roomed cottage just half a mile from Hawes centre, It boasts an excellently equipped kitchen/dining and beautiful rooms throughout. There are stunning views from all of the windows overlooking the Wensleydale Countryside, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. There are many restaurants, public houses and unique shops in Hawes, a famous and bustling market town. Nearby attractions include the world-famous Wensleydale Creamery and the Dales countryside museum.

We had a fab stay here in this delightful cottage. We did walks & pubs every day with some shopping in Hawes. The walk we enjoyed most was from www.yorkshiredales.org.uk (walk-Hawes and Aysgill Force). Good directions with way marks.

Cal & L,

Our second stay at Three Halfway Houses. Lovely home form home. This time we made our way to Appletreewick and had a drink in the Craven Arms. 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

Previous Customer,

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 H W,

This was our fourth stay in Hawes and this is without doubt the best accommodation that we have rented. The comfort and quality provided here more than made up for the variable weather.

The West's- S,

Lovely cottage, great location well equipped for a family relaxing stay! Great views. Nice little touches- tea, coffee, fresh milk and the torch.

Mrs Helen F,

This is a lovely place to stay. A very cosy home from home.

The best cottage ever!! - The Greens (Worlingham, Suffolk)

Past Customer,

Lovely cottage in a perfect location. Never mind the bad weather - we enjoyed ourselves very much! - Silke & Mathias (Hamburg, Germany)

Past Customer,

Very cosy cottage with all we could want during our stay. Easy access to Hawes by foot and every drive we took gave so many scenic views. Our first visit to Yorkshire (mostly in sunshine) and we plan to return. Thanks

Previous Customer,

Lovely cottage. Had a great Holiday.

Martin & G,

Our second stay in this lovely, well equipped cottage. Fabulous views which you never get tired of. We recommend Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton for a special meal out. A lovely holiday!

Previous Customer,

Our second visit to this lovely cottage. We had a fantastic time again. The weather was a bit up and down but it didn't keep us in. Would recommend seeing the sheepdog demo on a Thursday evening- great experience.

Previous Customer,

I would certainly recomend this property.

Mr Bryan C,

Lovely warm week. Cottage is a home from home. Well equipped kitchen. Blackpool only 1.5 hours away. Black Sheep Brewery only 1 hour away and well worth a visit. Thank you.

Previous Customer,

Fabulous cottage. Well equipped and couldn't have asked for any better weather. It's been fantastic. Thank you.

Everything was just fine- no complaints! Warm and comfortable. Out and about in spite of the bad weather. We hope to return again.

Previous Customer,

Everything was spot on with this cottage. Views to die for. Many thanks for the tea, coffee, sugar & milk. Well worth a visit to Farfield Mill in Sedbergh- very interesting.

Ann & R,

Wow! What an awesome cottage, and those views! So clean and everything to hand. Perfectly equipped. Impressed with the bed linen and information about the cottage & area. Loved the walled garden & seating. We will be back. Also, thank you for the Easter egg, lovely touch and for the welcome pack. We have never stayed anywhere before that has been how we would want a rental cottage. Fab!

Beautiful cottage. Clean, well equipped and cosy with wonderful views. Next to a busy road but it didn't disturb us.
