"The listing doesn't give it full justice."
The property is excellent and brilliantly equipped. There was a welcome bundle for refreshments, plenty of information about the area and a mass of resources in the kitchen and the lounge. They had an excellent selection of games to play. The cleanliness was good but not thorough. We suspect that the owners would be disappointed with the standard of cleaning done. Please get the dishwasher sorted - we were on holiday lol. However, this did not distract from the brilliance of the place. More guidance on the rubbish would help. We are thinking of making it a regular place.

"It's a very comfy house with plenty of space and excellent facilities."
However, can I respectfully suggest that all information regarding parking says the same as the diagram in the hallway of the house???? The instructions I was given on my check-in details said to park one car parallel to bollards; one parallel to the property and the 3rd....in front of garage (the latter was fine) I had not had chance to get into the property before the next door neighbour came out to complain and it made our arrival a little unpleasant. If your instructions had followed the diagram in the house, there would have been no problem (2 cars parallel parked). Also, I feel the information guide in the lounge needs the exact same parking details. I felt they could be misunderstood.

"In my long experience, it is a truism that customers often know more about products than the producer."
Producers frequently are reluctant to accept this. Our expectations are based on many holiday rentals. Parsimonious provision of toilet rolls. We had to take paper from another roll and then wind it round the cardboard inner of another roll. The dishwasher was not working. This was not advised beforehand but on arrival the information was on laminated cards. In other words this must have been the situation for a considerable time so why were we not advised and why has a repair not been carried out? A tiny scouring spoge was provided. The instructions for kitchen waste were ambiguous - we never did work out what the 'white bag' was. The biggest issue is car parking. This is a 4 bed property so a need for 3 or 4 cars is indicated. It is informative that a previous owner hived off a piece of land, built an adjacent property and then moved into it and sold what is now Ings House. The gravel is front of his new house is supposed to be shared with Ings House. However he clearly thinks he still owns the land. There are two 'semidetached' garages attached to Ings House, but it transpires one is rented out to the old owner. This is not made clear. A sign states we could park 'in front of the garage'. Which garage? Which way? This neighbour parked in the middle of the gravel leaving a tiny sliver of space which we could just get our car into. Having done this, another neighbour asked us to move our car as the owner would be returning with a camper van. He duly did and then he parked his car sideways with a trailer attached so the supposed space for us to park was never available. I guess he was sending some sort of message. THIS NEEDS SORTING AND THE RIGHT TO PARK FOR VISITORS MADE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR !!!!! We picked this house for its spaciousness and proximity to the town. I could not in conscience advocate visitors with three cars should stay here.
Sorry you had trouble parking. We have had a number of bookings with 2 or 3 cars parked with no issue at all. The neighbours have a different view of discussions with yourself and we are very sorry that upset was caused on all sides. We will put a diagram on the Description. The dishwasher failed since your booking, the house manager tells us he texted you to let you know. It is not on the description now but a new one is ordered. Property Owner

"Ings was the perfect place for our family holiday; plenty of room for all of us & very comfortable, especially the beds."
The garden is the best we’ve found in the dales for our dog; it is large & secure which meant she had the freedom to roam off lead. The only negative was the absence of a dishwasher, which was on the listing; just a note explaining the problem would’ve been acceptable. Other than that, Ings is the best house we’ve rented in Wensleydale; lots of thoughtful touches, such as the treats for us & very useful items for our dog.. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed it. Apologies for dishwasher breaking down since your booking. It's now off the listing, awaiting to get new one in place. Property Owner

"Ings House was perfect for our family holiday and we enjoyed two fabulous weeks relaxing in and around Hawes and the Yorkshire Dales."
All rooms were the perfect size for the eight of us plus doggo. We had all the equipment we could possibly need and my dog loved running around in the garden hunting for sticks and twigs. Definitely the best house/cottage we’ve stayed in over the last few years. Highly recommended for a family and pet friendly holiday x
Delighted that you enjoyed your stay in our house, hopefully may see you again Property Owner

"What a lovely and well appointed house."
Situated down a quiet lane with very easy access to Hawes, we loved our stay here - fantastic walks and cycle rides from the house itself. Would definitely stay again.

"Ings House in Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales is without a doubt the best holiday rental we have stayed in."
The facilities are great with views of the Dales. The house and garden were ideal for the six of us, as well as the baby and the dog. It is a short walk into Hawes which has a good selection of shops, restaurants, bars, pubs and coffee shops.
Delighted that you all enjoyed your stay in our house, hopefully may see you again Property Owner

"Toilet seat in main bathroom was a bit loose."
Minor detail as everything about the cottage was superb. I’ve actually booked to go again at the end of June.
Thank you very much for the feedback and great to see you returning. We will of course look at the issue you highlighted Property Owner

"A great cottage down a private lane, really quiet and very well equipped."
House is really comfortable and highly recommended. No issue for us, but there’s really only space for 2 cars to park as the other parking space is essentially used up by the neighbour’s parking.
The neighbours are more than happy for the third car to be parked outside the garage, if they are in the way, they’ll move if you knock on the door, but luckily most of the time we’ve not had any trouble. But thank you very much for the positive review, we are really pleased you enjoyed the house and your stay . Property Owner

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.
