A lovely welcome basket, comfortable furniture, all amenities, and very tastefully decorated, the Hayloft is ideally situated in the wonderful market town of Hawes, which is itself centrally located in the Dales for visiting lots of places and for the wonderful walking. Very highly recommended. We will be back, hopefully.

It's a cute cottage in a fabulous location in Hawes. The cottage was warm and inviting and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a nice touch. There is a great choice of places to eat in Hawes with Hawdrawfalls on your doorstep too and also a short drive to Aysgarth falls. We will definitely be back

Hawes has a great selection of independent shops, cafes and pubs. Parking is just outside the gates to the property and EV charging is a short walk away too. The property itself was clean and the welcome pack was a nice touch (as was the provision of extra logs for the burner and a torch during a storm!). It would have been even better if the provision of consumables (toilet roll, hand wash etc.,) had been sufficient for the duration of our stay. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils so easy to prepare a meal and eat in. The dining chairs were basic for a property of this type. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The bedroom would benefit from being carpeted and from the addition of a usable mirror (there is one but in a tricky space to use it). Hanging space is very limited. The directions were inadequate for finding the property in the dark - we fed this back to the owners so hopefully these will be improved.
