The day before we contacted via the number only to find that the person on the end of the phone was in CYPRUS I was charged 65p as this was made outside my plan and I was unaware. She rang her mother to sort it out. Needless to say I am not happy. Please can things like this be ironed out. The window in the bedroom was twisted and could not close properly so we had a towel stuffed to stop the draft. There was no heating in that room. I have been advised that this has been addressed but not sure if anyone checks. Please could this be passed onto the owners of the Little Bower and make sure they are NOT OUT OF THE COUNTRY when visitors have been given this contact. It certainly taints my use of Sykes as a means of booking a cottage.

The lack of parking wasnât an issue, there was plenty of free parking nearby and you could drive up to the cottage to load/unload. Facilities in the cottage were fine, nice bathroom, good shower, kitchen adequate. There are no outside facilities really, there is a bench to sit outside on but one of the residents parks their car in front of it, so we sat on the wall by the beck. Overall, a comfy cottage.

The cottage is immaculate, and kitted out very nicely. It was cosy, warm, and had brilliant Internet connections, too. We never needed to speak to Olivia, the owner, as everything was perfect whilst we were there. Hawes is a beautiful village, set in some of the most beautiful countryside. Parking in Hawes is very good, so you won't need to worry about parking your own car nearby. There is a space, but it's quite rightly reserved for local residents. We had a terrific saty, in a clean, comfortable place, and found everything we needed nearby. We'll be returning.
