About this property
Plucked directly from the front of a postcard, this quirky stone cottage is both beautiful and comfortable - everything that families would need for an unforgettable Yorkshire getaway. The historic holiday home is located on a quiet road in Gayle, a hamlet not too far from the beloved village of Hawes (1 mile), both of which are surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes. Made for stays throughout both the winter and the summer, the pretty property hosts four guests alongside a warming wood burner and an inviting, furnished garden.
Enter this character cottage into a farmhouse kitchen with ornate tiling and a warming AGA oven. Whip up family meals in this well-equipped space and gather in the airy garden room’s dining space which is surrounded by greenery. To unwind after dinner, head to the sumptuous, country-style lounge with its soft seating and vaulted ceiling where you’ll find a Smart TV and crackling wood burner. Relish in the cosy feel of this room before venturing on up to bed, finding a king-size room and a twin bedroom upstairs, served by the well-appointed shower room. Outside, soak up the sun from the tiered, verdant garden where you’ll find outdoor furniture for alfresco breakfasts and dinners – a peaceful spot to start and end each day.
One of its most famous exports; Hawes is home to the Wensleydale Creamery (0.5 miles) where visitors can watch the production of Wensleydale cheese and stock up on dairy delights to take home or give as gifts. An array of walking routes can be found looping out of the village, including the Pennine Way (1.5 miles) which leads up to the Great Shunner Fell (3 miles). Also close by, cyclists can take on the challenge of summiting Buttertubs Pass (5.5 miles), a high road with spectacular views at its peak.

This is a cosy welcoming cottage in a quiet location. Beautiful walks from the door and such a lovely place to return to. The kitchen is well equipped and the Esse range is a delight to use. We saw a barn owl from the bedroom window one morning. Parking is about 100m up the road and the outside is a little unsuitable for those less mobile. For anyone else we would highly recommend this delightful bolthole.
