"Once again we enjoyed a lovely week at Rockville."
The owner is very friendly and helpful. The property is well maintained and warm. We wish the checking out time could be later than 9am however,as this is an abrupt end to a holiday, and a later time would add to the feeling of well- being that a week away should bring.

"A lovely cottage in a lovely setting with a lovely proprietor what more could ..."
A lovely cottage in a lovely setting with a lovely proprietor what more could you ask for been several times now and booked again for next year

"Our home owner was very attentive when we couldn’t get the dining room telly to work."
I would have liked foot stools in lounge aids relaxation. The information about arrival lacked to mention that unloading our car can be done by the front door, we struggled up and down the back stairs, using one hand at all times. We found the necessary information once inside. We knew there were stairs in property, we live in a bungalow! Rockville perfectly situated for our needs,

"Clean. Comfortable."
Convenient. Just had a lovely week staying at Rockville. On entering the property, we were struck with how clean and well-decorated it was. And for a Victorian cottage, the lounge, dining room and both bedrooms were ample in size. The bathroom was also a good size and was spotless. Once we'd got settled in Sheila, the property owner, popped in to make sure everything was ok, which it was. The property couldn't be more convenient for the local shops, pubs and cafes, which are all just a two minute walk away. Would definitely recommend staying here.

"We absolutely fell in love with this cottage and Hawes and area generally."
-
"Lovely cottage so close to Hawes Town Centre."
Bonus of 2 parking spots. A ll rooms very comfortable. Excellent facilities particularly the bathroom. Very enjoyable stay.
-
"We had a fantastic time away."
Just what we needed. This was our first holiday as a family of 3 (4month old baby) really enjoyed relaxing and doing lots of nature walks locally. It was a little bit tricky finding the property at first but once there we had a fabulous week. Thank you.

"A lovely comfy cottage , well situated, super owner"
-
"Lovely stay again at Rockville."
Cosy, warm, amazing location in the middle of Hawes and great to have our own parking space so centrally - we’ll be booking again.
-
"When booking our holiday I always check there is parking available and the details said parking for 2 cars ."
This is not the case as the patio parking is not wide enough for a larger car to drive through and I was told that the garage parking was not available as the owners son was disabled and needed to park there. The kitchen was very basic and there is a mouldy damp smell in the cupboards were food and kitchen equipment is stored and the mattress on the king size bed needs replacing. I myself have a disability and that's why I check there is parking. We have booked with sykes many many times and have never before had problems but on this occasion we were very disappointed.

"A well positioned cottage right in the centre of Hawes with 2 parking places!"
Bed linen and towels are provided and the property is warm and well furnished with comfortable beds. The kitchen has all you need to make meals and extra storage space for your own things as well as a fridge with a small freezer compartment.
Thank you for your comment and glad you enjoyed your stay at Rockville Property Owner

Perfectly located. Lovely landlady.
Thank you for your comments it was a pleasure to meet you. Property Owner

"We had a lovely holiday in your cosy cottage."
It had everything you need with excellent parking. Just a short walk to local amenities and a quick drive into the countryside. Would thoroughly recommend staying at Rockville and hope to stay again.
Thank you and I hope to see you again Sheila Property Owner
-
"The cottage was very comfortable and extremely clean."
Everything in the cottage that is required for your stay. The only thing we found was that the back steps were steep. A bonus was having a garage for the car.
-
"Quite peaceful location , 5 minute walk to town amenities."
Cottage spotless and has everything you need for your stay. Parking and patio area a real plus.
-
"We had another great time staying here (4th time)."
Glad you had a lovely stay and look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

We will be returning.
-
"We enjoyed our stay at Rockville during the February half term break."
It was warm and comfortable and had everything needed for an enjoyable visit to the Dales. There were no problems parking in the garage or on tbe patio. Our great grandsons loved the cupboard under the stairs and took it over as their special space.
-
"A very comfy cottage in a great location"
Thank you for your comment I look forward to seeing you again. It was pleasure making your stay comfy. Property Owner

"Rockville in Hawes is a lovely cottage within a short walk to shops and pubs etc, this is the 3rd time we have stayed here."
Hopefully we will be booking to stay again next year, highly recommended.
Thank you for your feedback I look forward to seeing you again. Many Thanks. Sheila Adersin Property Owner

"Excellent. Pros: Efficient central heating."
Almost a full set of Freeview channels mainly down to provision of a masthead signal amplifier. (note other rental property owners!). Freesat also available. A few strides away from pubs and shops. Double glazing perfect, sound and thermal. Ample parking. Cons: Couldn't get the towel rail to work.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at Rockville and will certainly look to book again."
Positives: - Location - never had better from a Hawes cottage and was literally a few seconds' walk to get into the centre of everything - Heating - toasty warm at all times - Big bed - sooooo comfortable resulting in great sleeps under that fab duvet - TV signal - spot on...many cottages have dodgy TVs Negatives: - Parking in a big car is tight on the patio and in the garage, especially doing it for the first time in the dark - Didn't get things that other cottage owners provide as standard, eg. board games, playing cards, information folder and a small welcome pack (teabags, coffee, biscuits, pint of milk) - The shower went from freezing to scalding in a repeating 20 second cycle....maybe the toilet cistern was re-filling and affected supply to the shower. Could be really dangerous for children and older people. Overall, was a really lovely break and the cottage certainly contributed to that! Thank you.
-
"Warm and inviting!"
The new king sized bed was so very comfortable! The very clean kitchen had all that we needed to make a variety of meals. Great to be able to park our 2 cars. A cosy living room and good bathroom make this a very pleasant place to stay. During Covid the departure time had been adjusted to 9.00am to allow for additional cleaning. For some reason this still has not been returned to its former time of 10.00am. My only complaint for this super holiday stay.
-
"Lovely cottage, we last came to Hawes 18 years ago with our then small children so to return with our granddaughter was wonderful."
The cottage was comfortable enough for 4 adults and the baby. Kitchen was very basic but we managed. We were able to get both large cars on the property one in the garage and one on the patio. A good location for walking and sightseeing.
-
"Comfortable and very clean cottage in excellent location."
Parking is a bit of a challenge in small drive way and garage but confident drivers would have no problems. No coffee maker provided which was disappointing. A cheap cafetiere would have been great.
-
"This is a great traditional stone bulit cottage in the heart of Hawes."
It is on a quiet back street and is peaceful, especially at night - no unwanted noises to disturb sleep. We found the whole house to be spotlessley clean, and it is well furnished. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The bathroom is modern, with full bath and additional electic-powered walk-in shower with large cubicle. The kitchen is not 'state-of-the art' modern, but has a good efficient fridge, washing machine, electric cooker, small microwave oven and small appliances. There is ample crockery, utensils etc to prepare simple meals with, though you may struggle a bit if you want to cook Christmas dinner or prepare a wedding reception! However, holidays aren't for spending in the kitchen; go out and boost the local economy by eating in the locals pubs & cafes, and enjoy yourself :) In the sideboard there is a huge amount of up-to-date tourist information leaflets which cover the area, plus a folder, which are useful . If you have mobilty issues you may find this property isn't for you. The internal stairs are quite steep, and the steps up into the patio area from the kitchen door could be difficult for anybody who has knee or hip problems. I'm in my mid-70s and struggled a bit with these, but managed, and it's easy to go out of the front door and up to the patio via the garage access slope. The cottage is not suitable for a wheelchair user. The garage behind the property is up a steepish slope and is larger than many of the ones built today - we had no problem parking in it, leaving the patio free to enjoy. The property owner is very friendly, appraochable and helpful, a very nice person. We would reccommend this property without hesitation.
-
"The cottage was in an ideal location and had a very nice bathroom."
We had just had a week at another cottage in Helmsley, and the difference in overall comfort etc was noticeable. There was no welcome gift or a welcome pack providing helpful tips etc, neither was there a visitors book with their observations. The property was fairly dark in respect of the furnishings, carpets etc, and would benefit from brightening up. The cookware was rather limited and in poor condition. The 9am departure time was rather tight.
-
"I knew where the cottages was as I know Hawes well."
It is a real bonus to have a garage to park in and if you have a very large car you can park on the patio area. The cottage was spotless. Nice big bathroom and comfortable bed. It is so convenient for everything in Hawes and you can walk to everything. Would really recommend this cottage and we would certainly hire it again if going to the area. Wensleydale is super .
-
"Very lovely cottage - the owner is so accommodating and it’s beautiful inside , exceptionally clean and very comfortable- my only one downside was that there are some very steep concrete steps to the back door and up to the patio, and I went with my 86 year old Mum, but you can access the property through the front door, you just have to walk round but the rest of the cottage over rode this - fabulous having a garage, I saw some feedback that said it was ok if your car was small to medium - mine is a Mercedes’ and there was plenty of room to get it in the garage - it was great being able to put it away."
thank you for a lovely enjoyable stay
-
"Property had a central location within the town."
Ideally positioned for all facilities. Parking off road suited to small/medium sized cars ideally with larger vehicles proving a challenge though not impossible. Very clean and comfortable property. Landlady very friendly, pleasant and informative. Overall an ideal holiday destination that we wouldn't hesitate to return to.
-
"Great cottage in the middle of Hawes."
A garage (big enough for an Audi A3), is a welcome bonus. The cottage is down a side street, do is relatively quiet. The patio at the rear catches the sun all day long.
-
"Lovely cottage , friendly owners , had a great time ."
-
"Such a perfectly placed cottage!"
We loved staying at Rockville as there is parking for two cars right in the middle of Hawes! Linen and towels were provided although the cottage details did not specify this. We liked the new key collection box which made arrival very easy. The owner was very helpful when I spoke to her 48 hours before we came to the Dales.
-
"The location of the cottage within the village was perfect,add the parking space and you couldnt go wrong,garage and another space behind gates,very secure."
All facilities literally on you doorstep,butcher/baker,supermarket.papershop,pubs,resteraunt all within seconds of the door yet the position of the cottage keeps any street noise away.I cant praise it enough and would highly recommend.
-
"The cottage was a credit to Mrs Alderson it was a perfect stay just the best ..."
The cottage was a credit to Mrs Alderson it was a perfect stay just the best Thank you
-
"Garage was a bit tight but it was fine to park on the patio area."
-
"This is a welcoming, comfortable cottage in an ideal location."
It's obviously been furnished and kitted out with care. The facilities were all that we needed for a great holiday. We had a great holiday here, it's in a good location for either walking directly from the cottage or for touring around the Dales. We found it particularly good that we could walk out in the evenings around Hawes. The market place and facilities of Hawes are just around the corner. and yet this is in a quiet location. There's plenty of space to relax when you're back in the cottage.
-
"Lovely place to stay."
Tight getting in the garage but you can park on the patio. Although in the centre of Hawes very peaceful.
-
"Extremely clean host responded quickly to any problems."
Having to b out for 9am was bit of a push although we understand the reasons.
-
"The location of Rockville in the town of Hawes is superb."
It is quiet and feels secluded whilst being 50 yards from the main street. In particular, having a garage available plus a sun drenched patio area was the icing on the cake for us. The sun shone all week! We will return to Rockville because of the above.
-
"Very cosy, comfortable and well equipped house."
We had everything we needed and it was a great bonus to be so close to the town centre and be able to stroll to the local shops and pubs !! The house was very clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable and the shower was good and hot. The owner (Sheila) was friendly welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended for a stay in Hawes and it was a great location from which to explore the wonderful Dales. It was also fantastic to be able to park the car at the property. The stairs in the house are steep and may be a problem for people with mobility issues. Maybe the addition of a downstairs toilet would be a good development ? Lastly, having to be out of the property at 9am was but early for us !! Overall we had a great experience at Rockville and would use it again for further trips to the Dales
-
"We had a lovely stay at Rockville."
The cottage is in a great location in Hawes great for exploring the Dales. The host was great and very helpful. Tv lost its channels and it was fixed that day. I would recommend this cottage to others.
-
"Enjoyed our stay at Rockville, great location in the centre of Hawes."
Parking available in a locked garage behind the cottage so no trouble finding a space. We had good food in the white hart pub and also from the chip shop and pizza shop in the town too so you don't have to travel to get good quality food. Owner very friendly and only lived local so easy for dropping off and collecting the key. Would happily come back and recommend to friends and family.
-
"I was looking for a centrally located cottage in Hawes, near but not on the High Street."
The cottage (Rockville) was just what I wanted. Highly recommended
-
"Very nice cosy cottage in a fantastic location."
Kitchen needs an upgrade and an extractor fan. Would definitely stay again
-
"Wonderful position in Hawes with parking for two cars!"
-
"What a beautiful cottage, right in the middle of Hawes."
The cottage was set in a narrow winding street, giving us the the feeling of stepping back in time, while having the luxory of today's comforts. There was everything that you could possible need to make your stay very comfortable and relaxing. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was outstanding. Thank you Sheila for a wonderful few days in you beautiful cottage.
-
"We liked it so much we booked it for a week next year again"
-
"We had a lovely holiday in a cottage that gave us everything we wanted."
Very clean, excellent location and friendly owner. What more could you wish for. home from home.
-
"Quiet Location in the heart of Hawes."
Big and sunny kitchen. Sunny patio. Good view from the bedroom (the one with 3 beds) in the nature. Absolutely no view from the diningroom and the livingroom. Hawes is a good place to stay for hiking and exploring the beautiful Dales.
-
"We have just returned from a week at Rockville in Hawes."
We were blessed with sunny weather all week and a fantastic cottage to stay in. Rockville is a traditional cottage but has all the modern touches to give a very comfortable holiday. It is tucked just behind the main street in Hawes, but no traffic noise gets through, ensuring a very quiet night's sleep. The house is double fronted, very spacious, immaculately clean with lovely carpets and furnishings. Everything you could possibly need is available. The bedrooms have very comfortable beds with good quality bedding. The bathroom is large and newly fitted with a super shower and separate bath. Mrs Alderson the owner, is very friendly and approachable and lives near to the cottage and is on hand if anything is required. There is plenty of parking and the views behind the cottage are wonderful, as are all the superb walks around Hawes. I can see why this cottage has lots of return bookings. It is a jewel indeed. Well done Mrs Alderson!
-
"Lovely holiday home, perfectly situated in Hawes, with the advantage of onsite parking."
The house has everything you could need for a perfect break in the Dales. Sheila the landlady is lovely and always happy to help. This was our second visit to Rockville this year and we'll definitely be booking again.
-
"The house was amazing."
It had all the home comforts. The pictures don’t do it justice. I would definitely recommend staying here, it’s in the centre of Hawes close to shops, pubs and restaurants. We will definitely go back.
-
"Fantastic house in a perfect spot."
Just a few seconds walk and you're in the centre of Hawes. Set back from the main road it's wonderfully quiet with the added bonus of parking on site. Can't wait for our next visit in April.
-
"No"
-
"The cottage was spotless and well heated especially for this time of year."
Everything you needed was there and the location is spot on,ample safe parking as well.
-
"Very handy for the town walk right from front door perfect location"
-
"We have stayed at Rockville on a number of occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed our stay each time."
The cottage is very well situated just off the main road with easy access to pubs, restaurants and shops.
-
"Wonderful to be right in Hawes."
Great to have 2 parking spaces. We all felt very at home in Rockville. Well equipped kitchen! We would definitely come here again.
-
"Absolute gem of a place, from parking the two cars on site, a definite bonus, to walking in the front door."
It just seemed to wrap it's arms around you in a very warm welcolming embrace, so comfortable and appealing. The cottage was extremely clean and tidy and in a prime position to explore the village and beyond and Mrs Alderson was the perfect host, especially when we thought the cooker had broken. It was us and not the appliance we had not realised you had to have the "hand" position on the timer to activate the fan oven!!!! Would definitely come back to Rockville in beautiful Hawes.
-
"This was are second time in this cottage like before everything spot on ..."
This was are second time in this cottage like before everything spot on cottage was in centre of hawes very to everything this is a credit to the owner Mrs &Mr Alderson thankyou for a great time
-
"Excellent location with the added bonus of a garage."
A nice clean cottage.
-
"Immaculately clean and everything worked."
Ample, secure parking. Handily located in Hawes itself.
-
"Rockville is very well situated in Hawes which has a good range of local amenities."
Lots of lovely local walks. Owner very helpful and contactable. Would definitely recommend this cottage and will definitely be visiting again.
-
"A very cozy cottage, even though the weather was freezing the cottage was warm day and night!"
We can’t wait to book this cottage again!
-
"The cottage has night storage heaters but we didn't really know how to get the best out of these."
A few instructions on the input and output settings would be helpful. Generally the cottage is spot on in an ideal location. Having parking for two cars is a bonus
-
"Great cottage and well located."
We were very happy there.
-
"Great holiday, have used a motor-home for last 20 years."
Recently sold motor-home and thought we would try a cottage. Will probably continue to use cottages. Couldn't have tried a better cottage. So comfortable and ideally situated. Facilities and walks on the doorstep. Didn't find the steps at the back a problem as somebody suggested as you could use the front door and walk round.
-
"The only problem we had were the very steep steps at the back of the property going up to the -patio."
-
"This cottage was very well situated in the delightful little town of Hawes."
It really had everything we wanted and was very convenient for pubs, shops etc. and for local walks. Cottage owners were very welcoming and helpful. We arrived just as the weather turned very cold and the only slight drawback was the lack of heating in the hall, stairs area, which felt quite cold. Upstairs was also slightly chilly ( storage heaters not quite adequate), but both rooms were easily heated by the electric fires and were very cosy. All in all this was a very good holiday and we will probably return to Rockville.
-
"The cottage itself was cosy, well equipped and immaculately clean."
We had a few blips, in that the electric fire in the living room was really noisy, we could not fathom out the storage heaters times or temperatures, and we hadn't realised that the oven needed to have the timer on in order to work, hence a cold meat pie which we had to microwave, all of which we laughed about! Our main difficulty was the outside stairs leading to the garage and patio, which were really steep and hard to manoeuvre when you're battling with age and lack of physical mobility, perhaps this needs mentioning in the cottage description. The cottage is in an ideal location, being central and affording its own parking, which in peak times is a real bonus. Indeed, we would book again, except for the accessibility issues as it was very reasonably priced.
-
"We found the cottage very cosy with everything we could need."
The lady who holds the key was very pleasant and was available if we had needed anything. It was very clean and warm when we arrived. We love Hawes and surrounding areas and have stayed in Hawes before, unable to get the cottage we wanted Rockville became a available and we were not dissapointed. The only suggestion I would like make is a feed back book in the cottage itself. We would have liked to thank the lady who looks after the cottage as it was a pleasure to stay there.

The property
This traditional, Victorian terraced townhouse is located in the popular town of Hawes, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Enjoying an enviable location close to the town centre, this lovely cottage is a short walk from the fantastic main street and a stones throw from the picturesque waterfall on the River Ure.
Set over two floors, the ground floor features a cosy sitting room, a large dining room, and a well-equipped kitchen.
Moving up to the first floor you will find two spacious bedrooms, providing ideal family accommodation, and completing the property is a bathroom.
To the rear of the cottage is a south-facing, elevated patio area.
This is a superb, spacious place to sit and catch the sun and enjoy family time in pretty Yorkshire Dales surroundings.
Next to the patio is a large garage, which offers a space to park your car, along with providing bike storage.
Hawes is a real gem of the Yorkshire Dales, a stone-built market town with excellent pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and a very good selection of shops.
Visitor attractions include a working rope maker, the Dales Countryside Museum and the much publicised Gayle Mill.
The surrounding Upper Wensleydale scenery is absolutely stunning, some of the finest on offer in all the Yorkshire Dales and is renowned as one of the finest walking areas in the country.
A highlight would be taking a stroll alongside the River Ure at nearby Aysgarth Falls or going slightly further afield to the Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks.
The market towns of Settle, Leyburn and Richmond are a short drive away, whilst Semerwater and Hardraw Force, England's highest single drop waterfall, are all nearby.
A delightful cottage from which to explore Wensleydale, Swaledale and beyond.
About the location
HAWES
Leyburn 16 miles.
Hawes is a popular market town in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire and is regarded as one of the honeypot tourist attractions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Standing between Buttertubs and Fleet Moss, the town is an excellent centre for walking and touring Wensleydale and the adjoining dales of Swaledale, Cotterdale, Dentdale, Garsdale, Wharfedale and Chapel-le-Dale. Take a walk around the Hawes Town Trail, Millennium Walk, Pennine Way or along the River Ure, which is nearby. In 1998 Hawes was awarded the English Tourist Board Silver Award for the "Best Day Trip Out". Modern traffic has long replaced coaches and horse drawn wagons along its narrow streets, but market day (Tuesdays) in Hawes is as busy as ever, with a farmers’ auction attracting sheep farmers from all over the north of England. Traditional shops, cafés and inns now cater for a variety of Dales visitors as well as the local community. The award-winning Wensleydale Creamery, made famous by the animated Wallace and Grommit films, is now open to visitors so that they can see the famous cheese being made and sample the end product in a welcoming café. In the old station yard you will find the busy National Park Centre and Dales Countryside Museum. The Museum is home to the magnificent collection of Dales artefacts by the two great Dales historians and writers, Marie Hartley and Joan Ingilby.
