"Great location in Hawes with Parking for 2 cars."
Property was cosy and warm and in easy reach of all the popular walks and sights of the Yorkshire Dale's.

"We had an excellent stay at the Old Surgery."
It is a very convenient location right near the centre of Hawes. The parking wasn’t a problem as on street parking is free - we were able to park right outside most of the time. It was peaceful and a very comfortable and well equipped flat. The beds were very comfortable and the open plan living area attractive. A couple of points: when finding the flat it would have been helpful to have had a named sign outside We were surprised that there was no shower gel and soap in the bathrooms The round door handles are really difficult to turn, especially if, like me, a guest has arthritis. It’s quite a serious point.

"The Old Surgery was a lovely place to stay, lots of decent glasses, mugs, plates etc."
Very clean, quiet and homely. Had a lovely welcome basket. After a long walk it was nice to come back have a good shower and relax. We always got two car spaces right outside the door, the weekend got busier but no problems. Sat in the garden for drinks which was nice, could see the fish in the beck over the wall. The only thing was the position of the mirror in the bedroom with the bedstead, other than that, excellent

"Fabulous apartment in an ideal location for Hawes."
comfortable beds and very clean. Some things were lacking in the kitchen. Few pans and the frying pan had the non stick surface peeling off! The cupboard doors need some tlc! An idiots guide to the heating would have been helpful! Single glazing means condensation on the windows constantly in the winter. The blue bin seemed to have disappeared and the box for recycling is inadequate! I would in no way class this as dog friendly! Dogs are only allowed in the lounge/kitchen and only on the floor! They are not even allowed in the garden! Only one door which leads onto the street so early morning and late night visits to the loo mean dressing for outdoors and walking the streets. Obviously not suitable for a female with a dog. So in summary a very disappointing property which certainly does not live up to its star rating.
Thankyou for confirming we have a fabulous well appointed apartment. It was great that you told us about the frying pan - it’s been replaced and the one loose kitchen unit door will be tightened up. We do allow dogs in the garden ( which is shared with the rest of the property) we just ask you don’t use it as a toilet. I am a female dog owner and I live next door. I walk my dog every evening around the block rather than use my own garden for her toilet needs - Hawes is an incredibly safe haven and I’m sure that is obvious to any visitor. Being in a National Park it’s also perfect for dog walks - several start direct from the apartment . We can’t change the geography of the house it’s been like that since 1837! So we will ensure the Sykes description makes it clear there is a journey of a little less than two metres to the garden which is enjoyed by our guests, especially in the summer for drinks and sitting in the sun. We provide throws for furniture as we realise guests love their dogs to sit on the sofa with them but ask they don’t sleep on the beds!! Most of our guests bring their dogs on holiday and we have never in several years had a complaint. Sadly blue bin blew away in storms but we have replaced with a dustbin and box for recycling. There is also a Council recycling bin a few metres from the property too. A pity Mr T didn’t contact Sykes and make these points while he was staying in the property as they could all have been rectified or explained personally by the owners during his stay. Property Owner

"Wonderful stay in a fabulous location."
Perfect for us.
-
"Lovely cottage - very central for amenities - all mod cons, very clean and comfortable, parking in the car park outside was a bit of a problem as it was very busy."
In the description it refers to log burning stove - this is not a log burner but didn't detract from our stay.
-
"Absolutely fabulous second visit will return"
-
"A very clean and comfortable cottage overall, we really enjoyed our week."
We were aware of some unexpected but mostly short-lived noise from the properties upstairs and next door. Parking nearby is definitely not guaranteed, though having managed to park outside the Old Surgery we only moved the car once! Excellent location otherwise.
-
"What a wonderful base for our week in the Yorkshire Dales National Park!"
Hawes is the perfect town. Plenty of pubs and shops, but with that small town charm. Our stay in The Old Surgery was fabulous! It had everything we needed. Clean and comfortable! We would definitely stay there again, given the opportunity.
-
"Beautiful well equipped cottage which is a pleasure to stay in Well equipped and cared for"
-
"Beautiful cottage ."
. perfect location for us . We particularly enjoyed being able to use the garden. Excellent parking in front of the property. Would definitely recommend to friends & family
-
"Clean and comfortable and in a great location in central Hawes."
We would definitely return in the future. The directions to find the property could be improved by pointing out some landmarks and road names, etc.
-
"Hawes is a pretty little market town situated in the beautiful Dales."
The Old Surgery was warm, comfortable, extremely well equipped and conveniently placed for walks, pubs and local shops (Elijah's was a gem of a shop, with all the local cheeses)! The week simply couldn't have been better!

"The old surgery is simply wonderful."
My hubby and I and my mum had a fantastic stay. From the minute we stepped inside we felt relaxed. The place is super stylish and the beds oh so comfortable. We enjoyed evenings in Hawes without venturing out as kitchen was well equipped, the white hart inn did fabulous food, and the chippy was good. Brilliant days out and always happy to be back. Loved the sound of the waterfall and birdsong. We had a clipped shower utensil tray in the shower, really useful. Mum didn’t have one. When I checked there was one with rubber stoppers, but in the cupboard in the blue bathroom that needed replacing. Please could you replace with one similar to the main room so it will be easier for mum to shower when we come back. a fantastic place in a great village. We made full use of the shops, from the butchers to the deli, fish man on market day, funky pheasant shop.

"A very comfortable stay."
-
"An excellent property only one minor problem was the door handles to the bathroom and entrance lobby are difficult to operate for a person with arthritic hands my wife had a couple of problems leaving the bathroom."
-
"This was our second stay at the property."
* The property is lovely, in a good location and the facilities work well. * The Welcome pack was not as good as last time - missing the wonderful crusty bed and a decent bottle of red wine. * The round “twist” door handles are difficult to operate for older guests or people with reduced grip. * Check in time of 5 pm needs revising - understand it was revised to accommodate extra “covid cleaning” but perhaps could be moved back to 3 pm now.. Would certainly stay again….overall it’s a really good property
-
"Beautiful cottage, with everything you could need for your stay."
Very close to shops/pubs/restaurants (took us 3 mins) and next to a gorgeous waterfall. The property's heating was very efficient and we were snuggly warm on our cold November days there. The beds are super comfy and the bedding is luxurious.
-
"The old surgery is in a perfect location with walks, shops, attractions and pubs close by."
The accommodation has everything you might need and it nicely furnished. Porch area is great and underfloor heating in bathroom. We would not hesitate to return.

"5 Star accommodation, lovely location in Hawes with great access to the Dales for walking, cycling and site seeing"
-
"Lovely property and in a great location"
-
"Lovely well equipped and clean property located in the beautiful market town of Hawes."
Plenty of space for four adults and a pooch!! Two spacious ensuite bedrooms with top notch showers!! Lawned garden space to side with view over beck. Parking directly outside the property which never proved a problem. Plenty of places to eat out with the White Hart Hotel a particular favourite. Do your self a favour and book this property!! PS. The owners are brill :)
-
"Very well located in Hawes."
A short walk to pubs , cafes and shops and the starting point for several beautiful walks . The whole area is very dog friendly . Beautiful old building furnished very well and extremely comfortable with everything you could possibly need . Thankyou for the welcome hamper . Only slight downside is dogs not allowed to go in communal garden (well not allowed to toilet in garden but who knows when that will be?!) As responsible dog owners who always clear up after our dog it was a shame .

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “The Od Surgery” in Hawes."
The property is extremely well equipped and in an excellent location.
-
"A delightful property in an excellent village location."
-
"Fantastic property- couldn’t find any faults, cleanliness through out, very cosy, warm welcoming."
-
"Fantastic property in a great location, lovely."
We will return for for sure. Thanks
-
"A great cottage, great location, great weather, we will go back again"
-
"Excellent, well equipped apartment, good position too."
The only downside was a heating system that had a mind of its own. Great when it worked, but we couldn't fathom it's logic and it kept going off, presumably on the thermostat. The electric fire did the same and seemed not to be adjustable.
-
"Some minor observations/ niggles (pleease - see fuller details in the visitor book)."
Biggest complaint: getting locked in the small ensuite - both of us at different times! Other occupants have mentioned the issue with over-tight handles that fail to turn at times: please attend. A lovely conversion. Good quality furnishings which is what we seek. Great parking and location. Absolutely would return.
-
"Clean, comfortable all you require."
Lovely property.
-
"Loved it on the whole, so well situated in heart of Hawes."
Had everything we needed and excellent beds and plenty of hot water. If there is a quibble there could be more info re rubbish and recycling disposal.
-
"Very good location close to shops, pubs and walks."
lovely cosy accommodation that has been refurbished to a high standard. Having 2x en-suites was a really good. The TV could be a bit bigger
-
"Property owner, Rob kindly retrieved and returned a key we lost in the garden."
Thanks again Rob!
-
"Great accommodation."
We met the owners, who are so kind and helpful. We had a dog with us who loved to play with the owner's dog in the garden. The Old Surgery is so well placed, just on the edge of central Hawes so everything is just minutes away without being in the hubub. We'll be back again! Thanks.
-
"We had a lovely week at the Old Surgery in Hawes."
The property was a perfect size for our 2 couples and was very well equipped and clean. The location is perfect for access to Hawes and as a base for exploring the Dales. Would definitely consider going back.
-
"We absolutely loved it here although it was very different to what we normally book - we tend to go more rural."
If you don't know Hawes(which we didn't) it is quite bustling but your are soon out into the very beautiful countryside The owners of the flat were very nice, friendly and helpful. It is beautifully clean, spacious and handy for the town with lots of bars and shops etc. My only "nigggle" (and perhaps this is my fault for not reading it correctly) was there is no direct access to back garden for our dog to wander in and out. It is accessed from front door via a side gate. Hence the 4 stars otherwise would be 5 stars from me!
-
"Fab location and cottage was very clean and extremely comfortable with a small but very nice garden space."
.met owners once and were extremely helpful and a lovely couple..if I were ever to go back to Yorkshire dales the old surgery would be first on my list! Also was left a very nice welcoming pack.
-
"This is a lovely property, very well equipped and spotlessly clean."
The position is excellent with easy walking access to all of Hawes facilities and good road access to the places we wanted to visit. We loved our stay there and would like to return at some point.
-
"I wasn't made aware my cottage had a shared garden"
-
"Excellent cottage in Hawes."
Very comfortable and well appointed. Some info on disposal of rubbish/recycling would be helpful.
-
"We had a wonderful time at the old surgery it was a beautiful place to stay."
There was everything we needed in the accommodation the owner had even left us a welcome pack which included local cheese, milk and bread which was delicious. The accommodation was modern and very clean. The bed was so comfy and we slept so well especially after a good day spent walking in the beautiful country side. The weather wasn’t fantastic but that’s the chance you take this time of the year but even that didn’t dampen our spirits we got out and about and visited some amazing places. What was great was the proximity of the accommodation to the local pubs and shops which were in walking distance and which we enjoyed visiting in the evening and they were dog friendly which was fab. We had some lovely meals in the crown and enjoyed visiting the green dragon and hardraw force. We would stay at the accommodation again. Unfortunately we had to leave a day early but this did not spoil the holiday.
-
"The apartment was superbly equipped, immaculately clean, warm and perfectly located."
We enjoyed a super holiday in this great part of the UK. Would not hesitate to visit again in the future.
-
"Lovely cottage, ideal for 2 couples, and in a good location in the centre of Hawes."
-
"This is a lovely, comfortable cottage."
It was well equipped and we were left some delicious goodies in a welcome pack. The front porch/boot room was ideal for storing wet coats and boots and drying the dog. It is in a fantastic position in Hawes, just a short stroll to the shops, cafes and pubs. We did a few walks directly from the cottage and there were lots to choose from just a few miles away.
-
"Absolutely beautiful apartment conversion."
Perfect location in the Heart of the village. Everything we needed. Lovely showers and beautifully decorated. Many thanks for the welcome basket
-
"I would expect a 5 star cottage to provide a spare toilet roll, fairy liquid, and soap for the bathroom sink."
apart from these minor details the cottage is fabulous.
-
"Great Cottage, Great Location, Everything you needed was in the Cottage."
The Cottage was spotless when we arrived. What a lovely Gesture the welcoming basket. Many Thanks for a Great Holiday.
-
"This is a perfect location and perfect property."
The owner is the son of the retired doctor and has refurbished the property to a very high standard. He understands that a holiday cottage should be at least as comfortable and practical as ones own home and there is no “make do” about the furniture and fittings. The property was perfectly clean, our measure of quality, and we felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. Lots of things to do in the area, depending upon one’s interests.

The property
A warm welcome awaits you at Fulford House!
Formally the doctors residence with the surgery forming the main part of this gracious Georgian house built in 1832.
Having previously been the Queens Hotel, the surgery was located here from 1928 up to 1993 when the new surgery was built on the opposite side of the road.This high-quality Georgian building is located in heart of the old market town of Hawes in Wensleydale.
Boasting modern fixtures and fittings, The Old Surgery provides an excellent accommodation for friends, families or couples alike.
Discover the stunning open-plan living area, finished with an engineered wood floor and underfloor heating, as well as a beautiful high quality electric effect stove and Smart TV, so you indulge in your favourite shows while away.
Adjoining the homely setup is the contemporary kitchen, equipped with a range of modern appliances and glossy white units which add a further touch of class to the interior.
Retire to one of the luxuriously fitted bedrooms, consisting of a super king-size double (that can be split into a twin on request) and king-size double, both of which benefit from elegant en-suite shower rooms and flat screen TVs.
Throughout, the accommodation has a bright and cheery feel, created by the attention to detail the current owners have put into this first-class holiday apartment.
Right outside the property is Galye Beck waterfall which runs through Hawes and is spanned by an old and narrow bridge.
There are also two more waterfalls in Hawes, the Aysgill Force and Gayle which can be visited.
Take a short walk into Hawes and enjoy the wide range of amenities on offer, including shops, pubs and tearooms, and the fine Wensleydale Creamery, made famous by the Wallace and Gromit films.
The surrounding Upper Wensleydale scenery is absolutely stunning, some of the finest on offer in the Yorkshire Dales and is renowned as one of the finest walking areas in the country.
The natural surroundings in the area also perfect for activities such as, cycling, bird-watching, and fly-fishing.
For the more energetic, face the famous Three Peaks challenge, as it is just a short drive away, while Gayle Mill, a fully-restored 19th-century sawmill, which featured on Channel 4’s How Britain Worked, is also well worth a visit.
Boasting contemporary styling throughout with subtle hints of the previous building formation, this delightful apartment is a great base to stay, any time of year.

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.
Please note: The communal garden is not to be used for pets toilet.
