• "Excellent support from the owner."

  A really brilliantly appointed property so near to all the local amenities . However, was not so enamoured with the help we got initially from Sykes cottages. They made a mistake with our card details and it was difficult to speak to anyone to resolve the difficulty.

• "It was cold in Hawes when we were staying and the property was cold."

  There is parking, but if you have to open your car door all the way to get in or out the parking space is too small after cars park either side. The property is well situated and had everything we needed.

  I am sorry you found the property cold Robert. If you had contacted me at the time, I could have amended the heating schedule to suit tour requirements. We are working on the parking situation with our neighbours Property Owner

• "Nicely furnished, well equipped, clean cottage in a fabulous position for exploring Wensleydale."

  There are lovely walks from the cottage and Hawes has enough shops that we didn’t need to use the car all week. We were provided with brilliant advice prior to our arrival ensuring that we were able to eat out somewhere lovely on the evening we arrived - a family birthday. Thank you Michael. We plan to return soon.

  Thank you for your positive feedback Nicky. I'm so pleased you had a great time in Hawes and at Bridge House. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

  Mike, the owner, was very helpful when we had a couple of queries. The weather wasn't very warm and he put the heating on in the mornings and evenings which was great.

• "We have just made our 6th visit to Bridge House in Hawes."

  Hawes is a superb place to have a holiday and is perfect for investigating the surrounding Yorkshire countryside. There is plenty to see and do in Hawes and Bridge House is in exactly the right location; just a few minutes walk to the centre of town and close to the much photographed Gayle Beck. The cottage is very spacious, well maintained, has an en suite main bedroom and has all the facilities you could wish for. We also love the fact that it has a parking space right outside the front door.

  Thank you as always, Michael, for you lovely feedback. We hope to see you for a seventh time in the near future! Property Owner

• "The property was lovely in a good position for the town."

  We were disappointed to have to clean the fridge surround of black mould and wipe down the shelves before putting our food in. It was also severely iced up at the back.The heating was a major problem coming on at 6am and going off at 10am not coming back on until 4pm and going off at 10 pm. During dark winter months I feel there should be more flexibility. Being on holiday and advertised as having centralheating we did not feel inclined to have to buy wood every day for a wood burner which was only in the dining room. And then have to clean it out every dayThe saving grace was the electric fire in the lounge. Which would seem like false economy as that was needed to boost the heat in the lounge as the radiators never felt to get really hot. Overall a lovely cottage but the way the central heating radiators were not terribly efficient maybe for us not for winter months.

  I'm really sorry you had a problem with the heating recently. I wish you'd let me know at the time and I could have tweaked the timings to suit you. The existing timings work for most guests who are out when the heating is off. Property Owner

• "This was our 5th visit to Hawes and Bridge House."

  The town of Hawes is very attractive with interesting shops, restaurants, pubs and the famous Creamery. It is the ideal place for many enjoyable walks. Bridge House is much bigger than it looks from the outside. It has everything you could possibly want for a great holiday. It is Spacious, spotlessly clean, modern kitchen, Sky, WiFi and excellent heating which makes it warm and cosy. Parking is right outside in the courtyard for one car and free parking for a second car just 100 yards away. There is just one word to describe Bridge House – perfect!

• "Bridge House is an ideal base for a holiday in the Yorkshire Dales."

  It is extremely comfortable, well equipped and in an excellent location in the town being literally yards from the High Street where you are spoiled for choice of quality eating places. An excellent location for walks from the door, or just a short drive away, and for wonderful scenic drives. The dedicated parking space is a real bonus. Overall Bridge House and Hawes combine to be a superb package.

  Lots of space, everything provided and a very helpful owner. I would only ask if it might be possible to make the outside seating area a bit nicer? Sitting next to the bins wasn’t great and meant we really missed our garden. Definitely would recommend though

• "Main potential problem is parking."

  The courtyard is for 4 cars (4 houses). Currently one of the spaces is taken by a small car but when the property to which the car belongs is sold ( currently up for sale) it’s possible a more average or even large car may appear. If so parking could be impossible. The listing must make this clear. The neighbours were having work done and we had to move our car each day - no one’s fault just tricky as so little space we had to park in the town so they could manoeuvre a digger. It’s a great property but sadly the parking would stop us booking again.

  I'm sorry you had a parking problem due to our neighbours outside property alterations Debra. I wasn't informed these were taking place during your stay. I understand they are enlarging their parking area, which ultimately should make parking easier. I believe we've only had a similar problem once before when the neighbours on the other side were having remedial work done on their chimney Property Owner

• "We absolutely loved Hawes and the position of the property to the town and access to the moors and surrounding countryside was excellent."

  The shops, restaurants, pubs and eating places were really good, we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay if we'd tried. Just a couple of niggles though, we couldn't use the freezer as the three drawers were frozen over and while we managed to open the top one we decided it best not to use it in case it froze shut again. Also even though the weather was sunny and warm most days come 4 o'clock it cooled down very quickly and after that apart from the sitting room which had an electric heater the rest of the house was extremely cold. It appears the central heating was on about 5am for an hour or so and again at about 4pm for an hour but the radiators were at best tepid so had no effect on the overall temperature at all and we couldn't find any controls to turn the heating up. Looking through the handbook to see if there were any controls we read that if we wanted to light the log burner in the dining room we could purchase logs etc in town but by then we were almost at our return date so we decided not to bother.

  I'm sorry you had a couple of problems at the cottage Margaret both relating to 'cold' but in different ways. We did have the thermostat in the fridge/freezer replaced 6 months ago because it did tend to freeze up too quickly. It has been ok since then. I wonder if someone had turned it up recently but not turned it back down when they left? The heating I find more worrying because it is set at 21degrees to come on at 6am until 10am. then 4pm until 10pm. I will look into that Its a shame you didn't read the information handbook a little earlier because the log burner soon warms the room up. Property Owner

• "We both enjoyed our holiday very much and have spoken about returning there."

  Unfortunately we decided to leave a little early because my husband wasn't well (he is 79), but obviously that had nothing to do with Bridge House, which was great. We loved Hawes, the surrounding countryside, the good places to eat, and the consistent good weather we were lucky enough to experience. We slept comfortably, and had no problems with the facilities (except perhaps there were so many pots, pans and dishes that it didn't leave much room to store the food we bought). The local convenience store is very expensive, and so we stocked up at Catterick. The people we met who own houses adjoining Bridge House were very friendly. What more can I say? There is only parking for one car, which could have been a problem as we had visitors while we were in Hawes, but in fact we managed quite well. I recommend the property highly, and the landlord telephoned us and was very helpful just before our holiday began. Oh - just one other downer - on arrival we couldn't retrieve the key from the keyholder near the front door. We had to wait for Christine (the cleaner) to help us, as there is a knack to it. Otherwise it was all very good, and couldn't have been much better.

  The fixtures and fittings in the bathrooms and kitchen are all brand new and the house is kept spotlessly clean. The only slight negative is that it says online that there is a terrace so I was expecting perhaps a small patio. What it means is that there is a table and chairs outside of the front door where you can sit next to the car parking space. This was a little disappointing to my daughter 7, but the close proximity of the local rather lovely play park and the large open spaces in the lounge and dining area more than made up for it.
