Reviews consistently mention the cottage being very clean, with several guests highlighting the spotless condition upon arrival. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The cottage's location is celebrated for its tranquility and proximity to walking paths and local attractions. The peaceful setting and beautiful views are appreciated, although the distance to shops is noted, it does not detract significantly from the guests' enjoyment.
Many guests find the cottage comfortable, noting the warm, cosy atmosphere and comfortable bedding. However, a few guests mentioned the bed being a bit hard and the shower lacking pressure, which slightly affects the comfort score.
The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with a well-stocked kitchen and bathroom. However, there are repeated comments about the shower's low pressure, indicating a need for improvement in the bathroom facilities.
Guests frequently express gratitude for the thoughtful extras provided by the hosts, such as welcome packs with eggs, milk, and homemade treats. While these gifts are highly appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed with every stay.
About this property
Hawes 6 miles.
This cosy stone-built end-terrace cottage is situated in the small farming community of Lunds and is superbly placed for enjoying exhilarating walking on the high fells of Upper Wensleydale. The surrounding countryside is dotted with traditional whitewashed farmsteads and is famous for being along the route of the Settle to Carlisle Railway as it climbs steadily towards Aisgill summit. Visitors may be lucky enough to see steam trains, as the line is only a field away from the cottage! The accommodation is upside down to take advantage of the extensive views, and many footpaths lead from the door. The owners live in the adjacent farmhouse. There is also a tea room within a mile, making this an ideal retreat for a stay in spectacular countryside.
The delightful market town of Hawes is the highest settlement in Wensleydale and home to the delicious Wensleydale cheese. The town is also famous for rope making; a skill passed down through the generations and a fascination for many of the visitors that come to the town. A regular market is held on a Tuesday and Hawes has many excellent shops and eateries in its midst. The beautiful limestone countryside surrounding the town provides a huge variety of walks and other outdoor pursuits, and for sightseeing opportunities the area is unsurpassed with the spectacular Hardraw Force and the Aysgarth falls just two of the natural wonders to be seen. Hawes is a delightful town and makes a superb base for a holiday in this magnificent area.

A snack was even provided on arrival, also milk and eggs in fridge. Cottage was warm and cosy with lovely views. Bed and bedding very comfortable. Lovely area for walking and a big bonus the Settle to Carlisle railway can be seen. A real treat seeing Sir Nigel Gresley come down the line. Nice shops at Hawes to visit. Thank you for a lovely stay.
