One of the top tourist destinations in the Yorkshire Dales National Park is the well-liked market town of Hawes, which is located in North Yorkshire's Richmondshire region. The town, which is situated between Buttertubs and Fleet Moss, is a great starting point for exploring Wensleydale as well as the neighbouring dales of Swaledale, Cotterdale, Dentdale, Garsdale, Wharfedale, and Chapel-le-Dale. Enjoy a stroll around the adjacent Hawes Town Path, Millennium Walk, Pennine Way, or River Ure. The English Tourism Board Silver Award for the "Best Day Excursion Out" was given to Hawes in 1998. Coaches and horse-drawn waggons have long since been replaced by modern transportation, but market day (Tuesday) in Hawes remains bustling as ever thanks to a farmers' auction that draws sheep farmers from all across the north of England. Local stores, cafés, and inns now serve both the local populace and a range of Dales tourists. Visitors may now visit the renowned Wensleydale Creamery, which gained fame from the animated Wallace and Grommit movies, to watch how the famous cheese is created and experience the finished product in a warm café. The bustling National Park Center and Dales Countryside Museum are located in the former railway yard. The two renowned Dales historians and authors, Marie Hartley and Joan Ingilby, have amassed a remarkable collection of Dales artefacts, which are kept at the museum.

Quite a unique property with quality appliances giving a home from home feeling. Loved the snug utilising the log fire each night. Thought the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Beds were nice and comfortable. Would definitely return.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely mix of old and modern. Spotlessly clean. Kitchen very well equipped. Really enjoyed the welcome pack. Still no blinds in the bathroom. I suggested a hinged screen. I wouldn't want to be getting in the bath next to the window with the light on, I put a holdall in front of the window for my daughter. Locals park in front of the house but still space to park. Path needs clearing as I nearly slipped on the wet grass which has grown over it. Difficult accessing the drier due to large drier stand. These are not complaints though ! The house is fabulous!!
