This inviting haven is tailor-made for those seeking a spacious and comfortable vacation, making it an ideal choice for family gatherings, special celebrations, or simply a tranquil escape to the countryside.

Upon entering Hawes House, guests are greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere granted by a plush sitting area and crackling fireplace. Large panoramic windows onto the wrap-around balcony ensure floods of crisp, countryside light fill the room from the surrounding meadows. Moving into the adjacent room reveals a spacious fully equipped kitchen and dining area, seating six. Culinary enthusiasts will feel entirely at home with a range of modern appliances and ample counterspace including a generously proportioned kitchen island. Whether you’re tossing together a summer salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, this kitchen is a foodie’s retreat.

Adjacent to the kitchen guests will find an expansive dining room, seating twelve, with access to the balcony overlooking the garden. Four ensuite bedrooms can also be found on this level, all boasting king-sized beds and tasteful decors that epitomise restfulness.

The first floor unveils four more thoughtfully apportioned bedrooms. Each room exudes its own unique charm, with cosy furnishings and large windows offering stunning views of the garden and surrounding Dales. Two bedrooms boast a king-sized beds, TVs, and en-suite bathrooms with shower. Another bedroom features two twin beds, a TV, and en-suite bathroom with shower. A further bedroom includes a double bed. A family bathroom with shower over bath can be found on this level for added convenience.

Hawes House's attention to detail extends to the exterior, where a beautiful stone patio provides an idyllic setting for al fresco dining or afternoon tea. Beyond the landscaped garden and the verdant hills, the outdoor spaces are a serene retreat for guests to relax and unwind.

This haven of comfort and tranquillity in the heart of Hawes provides a spacious and inviting retreat for up to sixteen guests. Its thoughtfully designed layout and charming features make it the perfect choice for creating lasting memories in the breathtaking Yorkshire countryside.

Well-situated in the centre of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Hawes is a picturesque market town brimming with cosy pubs, boutique shops, and fascinating history, all surrounded by rolling hills and moors. While Hawes House boasts superb views over the dales, it’s only a short stroll from the local restaurants, pubs, cafes, shops, and local attractions – including the locally sought after fish and chips!

Hawes has a long history of dairying, hence its renowned Wensleydale Creamery (8-minute walk) from where Wensleydale Cheese comes from. The Creamery offers a range of cheese-making demonstrations, a small museum, viewing gallery, shop, and café.

Hawes is a fantastic base for exploring the Dales’ natural wonders. Indeed, from the nearby Green Dragon Inn (5-minute drive) it’s a short and easy walk to Hardraw Force Waterfall – the highest above round, single drop waterfall in England. You can also walk from Hawes to the village of Sedbusk if you feel like stretching the legs first thing.

If that taste of nature gets you going, there is no shortage of fantastic walks. There is, for instance, the walk from Hawes to Aysgill Force which takes you past Wensleydale Creamery, through the streets of Gayle, and to the waterfall of Aysgill Force. Another is the circular walk of Semerwater/Raydale, the first half of which runs alongside the lake and the climbs out of Marsett up the valley and returning back towards Countersett.

And lastly, if you prefer four-wheels to walking, don’t worry, there’s something for you too. You can take a scenic drive up Buttertubs Pass, Jeremy Clarkson’s favourite road in the UK. This road of twisty turns and undulating valleys boasts great views.
