"Hawes is the ideal base for exploring the Dales."
Centrally located and not too big but having all the facilities needed to have a comfortable stay. The Hayloft suited us perfectly. Very comfortable and well equipped in a delightful location. Lovely welcome hamper too, including a jar of dog biscuits.

"The hayloft is a lovely place to stay very comfortable place has everything you need ."
Hawes is a lovely village has plenty place's to eat and drink. I haven't got a dog but it is a dog friendly. I would highly recommend a visit.
-
"Excellent facility in an excellent location."
Faultlessly clean and tidy and exactly as described. We may well re-visit.
-
"Absolutely fantastic, welcoming, perfect hosts"
-
"The property is well equipped and very comfortable."
The kitchen would benefit from a large wok style pan ( we brought our own having stayed here before). The bed is extremely comfortable.
-
"Really liked the clean and cosy cottage."
Especially appreciated the comfy bed and quality linen. At our age we like a good nights sleep and to be able to rest our weary bones!
-
"We spent a wonderful sunny week at the Hayloft in June."
Accomodation could not be faulted, extremely clean and comfortable. The owners had clearly put a lot of thought and effort into it, as everything was catered for and of high specification. The welcome pack was a lovely thought and we certainly enjoyed sampling its contents. The property is situated in a quiet location in the village but within walking distance of shops, pubs and restuarants. The owners were welcoming and friendly, but in no way intrusive. The property may not be suitable for people with mobility problems due to having to use steps to access it. Other to that, we would highly recommend to others and intend to return in the future.

"Lovely comfortable cottage."
A bit difficult to find at first with the one way system but got the hang of it eventually. Everything we needed for our stay and the welcome pack was much appreciated. Lovely comfortable bed - slept like a log.
-
"Wonderful, hidden away cottage."
Owners next door and super friendly. Love the history. Great time. Have booked for new year!!
-
"Our second stay at the Hayloft after 4+ years and the property was as super as we remembered."
A lovely welcome basket, comfortable furniture, all amenities, and very tastefully decorated, the Hayloft is ideally situated in the wonderful market town of Hawes, which is itself centrally located in the Dales for visiting lots of places and for the wonderful walking. Very highly recommended. We will be back, hopefully.

"Beautiful conversation cosy and relaxing spotlessly clean has everything you need in a beautiful village location."
-
"We had a lovely few days in 'The Hayloft'."
It's a cute cottage in a fabulous location in Hawes. The cottage was warm and inviting and the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a nice touch. There is a great choice of places to eat in Hawes with Hawdrawfalls on your doorstep too and also a short drive to Aysgarth falls. We will definitely be back
-
"The Hayloft is in a great location, within walking distance of all amenities in Hawes."
Hawes has a great selection of independent shops, cafes and pubs. Parking is just outside the gates to the property and EV charging is a short walk away too. The property itself was clean and the welcome pack was a nice touch (as was the provision of extra logs for the burner and a torch during a storm!). It would have been even better if the provision of consumables (toilet roll, hand wash etc.,) had been sufficient for the duration of our stay. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils so easy to prepare a meal and eat in. The dining chairs were basic for a property of this type. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The bedroom would benefit from being carpeted and from the addition of a usable mirror (there is one but in a tricky space to use it). Hanging space is very limited. The directions were inadequate for finding the property in the dark - we fed this back to the owners so hopefully these will be improved.
-
"A beautifully presented property in a perfect location for exploring Hawes (everything within a short walk) and the wider Yorkshire Dales."
The cottage was extremely clean, luxuriously comfortable and warm and welcoming, and the welcome hamper was a lovely treat on arrival. Thank you, we had a fabulous weekend break away and will most certainly be back :)
-
"Very comfortable, cozy, well equipped cottage."
In the heart of the Dales town of Hawes. Interesting range of shops & pubs, with the Wensleydale Creamery very close by. Perfect location for wonderful dog walks! Taking in the nearby fells & waterfall’s.
-
"Comfortable tastefully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed great location lovely garden"
-
"We really loved staying in this fabulous property."
The hosts are lovely, the location is perfect and the little cottage is just charming.
-
"Great little hayloft."
Perfect for walking holidays.
-
"The Hayloft is in an excellent location, quality furnishings, tasteful decor very comfortable, spotless and very well equipped."
Lovely courtyard area and garden available to sit in and relax. Quite private as set back from road but close to the lovely village hustle and bustle. The owners very kindly accommodated us for a few extra nights at v short notice which was promptly administered by Sykes We had a wonderful holiday in delightful Hawes and plan a return in July.
-
"The hayloft I's beautiful it was out 3rd visit."
There is everything you need. The woodburner has a Cosy feel after long wet walks. The landscape and walks are stunning and the local pubs are amazing. Already booked for 2024. The tap in the bathroom was reported and the owner was sorting very promptly. The welcome basket was much appreciated The only niggle is the 5pm check in. I know from previous visits this was implemented for COVID cleaning but maybe the owners would consider putting it back to earlier
-
"One of the best holiday cottages we've stayed in."
Extremely cosy bed. Very quiet location. Fabulous welcome pack. One tiny thing did concern us but didn't spoil our stay was the wonky tap in the bathroom.
-
"Excellent property, very comfortable and well equipped."
This was our second stay and we were equally pleased. Location perfect for walkers. Local amenities and choice of pubs walking distance but quiet and private, log burner at the cottage - very relaxing. A lovely find, we plan to return.
-
"This is our second visit to The Hayloft."
A warm and comfortable cottage. So we'll equipped home from home. Very private, but a short stroll in to Hawes for shops and lots of eating places. The welcome basket is a very nice touch. Hope to visit again and will recommend it.
-
"Fab wee cottage, great location with everything you need on your doorstep."
Amenities were excellent, although we did find the bedroom too warm, which we put down to the boiler in the room and the very mild weather. We just kept the windows open! Loved the sound of the river rushing by. The welcome basket of goodies was a lovely touch, which we enjoyed. Also loved the books telling great tales of the dales! The owners and their family were very friendly and made us very welcome. Beautiful area with friendly people which hopefully we will come back to. Our dog Ruby absolutely loved her holidays too, with the added bonus of the hose to wash her down after her long walks. Definitely 10/10
-
"Beautiful cottage lovely surprise starter pack of bread jam & cheese."
Lack off street parking only down side
-
"We had a great three night stay."
The property was well appointed and luxurious, and we would definitely visit again.
-
"Beautiful accommodation in perfect location."
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hayloft in Hawes, the accommodation is perfect and the the owner welcome gift was very thoughtful, Hawes is a very friendly town and central for walking around Yorkshire, we recommend the Hayloft."
-
"The hayloft is a perfect for exploration of the beautiful Dales countryside."
Beautifully presented next to the small river near all of the local facilities, it has everything you need for a peaceful break for the 2 of you. The car parking itself is not enough of a pain to score the Hayloft down for us but it may be if that kinda thing bothers some people! Would definitely recommend and would use again.
-
"Lovely cottage in superb location"
-
"The Hayloft is in a fabulous location."
It is such a cosy quiet cottage, furnished beautifully and a great base from which to explore the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Highly recommended.
Thanks for your feed back, really appreciated Best Rob King Property Owner
-
"Great stay in perfect location to explore."
Cottage was lovely, very comfortable and felt like a home from home. Quiet at night and everything you need for a trip. The only things I would suggest to improve is: Bigger TV, more storage in bedroom (double width chest of drawers). Also a full length clothes dryer. These are really minor, fussy things because overall it was a lovely stay and it was with real sadness to leave. Value for money in comparison to what we paid elsewhere later on our trip in the height of Easter. Great time staying here.
-
"Stayed for one week from 27."
03.2022. Loved everything about it. Hawes was lovely and we enjoyed exploring the area. The Hayloft provided everything we needed. Super-comfy bed, fab shower, warm and cosy (even when it snowed), loved being above the Beck. Lovely welcome pack. Managed to park outside every day. Owners friendly but discreet. Would definitely stay again.
-
"Second stay at the hayloft."
Love it great for exploring and walking. Great pubs and food everything you need on your doorstep. The Hayloft has everything you need clean and comfortable. Already booked for 2023
-
"Wonderful cottage, home from home with everything you need."
Starter pack helpful. Advice on where to buy more logs would be useful. Will definitely book again
-
"A beautiful property, full of character."
We instantly felt relaxed. The log burner was wonderful and the property was lovely and toasty, which was such a comfort after spending a day walking and exploring. We will definitely be booking to go back again.
-

Thank you once again for making our Christmas perfect and we ll see you next year

"The Hayloft was perfect for what we wanted."
A little cosy get away just before Christmas. We enjoyed being able to go for walks straight from the accommodation, and finishing off in the selection of good pubs. The little basket of treat were also very welcomed when we arrive. We can’t wait to stay again!
-
"Everything about this property is quality."
The bedding is lovely and the welcome pack was well appreciated and enjoyed . 2nd time here and won't be the last.
-
"The Hayloft was gorgeous, had everything you could wish for, it was was spotlessly clean, cosy, comfortable, warm and beautifully furnished."
Hawes and the surrounding area was absolutely lovely and the local people were so welcoming and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and I’m sure we will be back again.

"Would like a clock in living room and think the cushions need washing other wise great and very near to shop's"
-
"Fabulous cottage in the perfect location."
-
"An excellent week."
The property was very well prepared, warm and inviting. We really appreciated the welcome pack of food. Superb walk in power shower and very comfortable bed. The kitchen was well equipped with everything to hand. We didn't use the woodburner but thoroughly appreciated that wood was provided and that it could have been used. We also appreciated the leaflets and maps about the local area and the guidance on walks. A shame there was no TV but that was out of the owners control.
-
"The Hayloft is the best cottage we have stayed and cannot wait to go back."
Faultless. The owners are so lovely and welcoming. Amazing.
-
"Really loved our stay here in August / September."
Very quiet, but ideal with the burn running past the en-suite bathroom window. Lovely log fire for cold nights. The side garden overlooking the burn is a great spot for coffee. Parking was easy out front, and having an electric car was easy with chargers 200m away at the visitor Center. Central location only minutes walk from great pubs and restaurants. Local walking is good to Hardraw falls and the meandering river. Finally our hosts we really friendly and always available with local intel on places to visit and eat. We would visit again. Two thumbs up.
-
"The Hayloft is extremely cosy and comfortable and could not be better located within Hawes."
Enjoyed morning strolls to the village shops and coffee shops. Brilliant base for visiting Wensleydales attractions
-
"The Hayloft is a lovely cottage full of character, very well finished to a high standard."
Parking was never an issue and the location is perfect. It is a great place to relax, convenient for local restaurants and ideal for walks straight from the cottage without using the car. The owners are very welcoming and provided a lovely hamper with some essentials on our arrival, they also have a great knowledge of the local area and can recommend places to visit. Overall a highly recommended cottage we will be booking in the future.
-
"Parking can be a slight issue at busy times but nothing to serious."
-
"A minor blip with an item in the cottage was dealt with quickly and effectively and in no way affected our stay."
Very good indeed.
-
"A fantastic tastefully refurbished property which isn't just a rental but a lovely home."
Ideal size for a couple. Hawes is a good base from which to explore the Dales.
-
"Excellent accommodation, furnished and finished off to a high standard."
Fantastic property in a fantastic location.
-
"Perfect getaway to switch off and unwind."
Lovely, cosy, well decorated cottage in the heart of Hawes town. Lots of nice walks from the doorstep or a car ride away. The scenery surrounding the area is just amazing. Will definitely be recommending the cottage to family and friends.
-
"We loved The Hayloft."
Very cosy and comfortable with all facilities. Great location in Hawes and for exporing the Dales. Would definitely recommend and would happily return again.
-
"The location it was in the centre of Hawes, giving access to all the shops and pubs."
The only thing that would improve the Hayloft would be a larger t.v in the lounge area.
-
"This was a lovely cottage in a lovely little town (Hawes, Yorkshire)."
It had character and charm and everything was to a very high standard.

Beautiful quality linens and a very comfortable bed. Tastefully furnished, warm and comfortable. A very good welcome pack, too. Thank you!

It has good, dog friendly pubs which serve good food, some lovely independent shops, and a very good fish and chip shop! We’ll be back!
-
"Brilliant cottage and lovely conversion , very comfortable with high spec furnishings."
, only drawback was parking! Hit and miss to find a space, as it's free all the locals head for there first!
-
"The Hayloft exceeded our expectations in that it was even better than the photos portrayed."
A lovely place to holiday in the Dales.
-
"Nicely finished and furnished, well equipped, great location."
-
"The Hayloft at Hawes was a wonderful base to explore the Yorkshire Dales."
The Hayloft provided everything we needed for our holiday. It was exquipped to a very high standard. It was quiet and comfortable, beautifully decorated, with an excellent bed and shower in particular. We were always lucky with parking outside the property but in busy times parking can be an issue in Hawes. We would highly recommend The Hayloft.
-
"Great cottage,great location for walks & touring surrounding area."
Well maintained by present owners.
-
"Nice warm cottage."
Handy to the village and the dales.
-
"A very well appointed cottage in a superb location in Hawes."
Had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing break with full facilities for catering to any level, including sharp knives, a rarity in s/c accommodation! Spotlessly clean. Thoughtful welcome mini 'hamper' of locally sourced produce. Hope to return for a longer stay.
-
"A beautiful cosy cottage, which was beautifully decorated."
we had a relaxing holiday at this accommodation, steps into the property are pretty steep, parking can also sometimes be a problem, ideally it would be good if you were able to park your car inside the metal gates. Excellent amenities with dishwasher, washing machine & a tumble drier. Dishwasher tablets & softener for the washing machine were supposed to be provided but unfortunately not for us, also not enough toilet rolls provided, Have to say this was not the fault of the owner but whoever cleans the property, also it would of been a bonus if the salt & pepper & the paper towel holder had been replenished. Would love to stay at this property again but would think now that this dream cottage has been found it will be fully booked. We were lucky to meet the lovely owners the day before we left & he came to our rescue with the dishwasher tablets.
-
"Wonderful cottage in a wonderful village."
-
"Fantastic accommodation."
5 star rating. Welcome pack was an added extra and best we have ever had. Perfect location for walking from your doorstep, and 2 minute walk to pubs and shops. Would recommend The Hayloft to everyone. Looking forward to going back.
-
"This was a fantastic place to stay, and it was great that we could bring our dog."
This was our first trip away with him in tow, and we'd definitely consider coming back again. All the added touches of the welcome package and the milk in the fridge etc. made it all the more inviting - 10/10.
-
"This is a wonderfully furnished property close to the middle of Hawes."
Property is very well equipped even including two smart TV,s .and the log burning stove. It is right on the Pennine way and there are wonderful walks many on flagstone paved paths across the meadows. The creamery with its huge range of cheeses to try should not be missed. Finally the owners are a lovely couple of if you are lucky enough to meet them . The welcome pack is the best we have ever received.
-
"Very good holiday cottage in a well positioned spot in the village for all amenities (shops, supermarket, chippie, pubs,restaurants and bus to Leyburn) also a couple of interesting things to visit like the rope makers factory and the dales museum just across the road."
there are some nice short walks from the doorstep and enjoyed doing these. roomy and cosy for two people and good central heating would definitely recommend to family and friends.
-
"The cottage was in a great location and very well presented."
The welcome hamper was a lovely touch filled with local produce. I would love to return to this cottage in the future.
-
"Fabulous property in a super location, a hiccup was settled within a couple of hours, lovely welcome pack."
could not fault this cute quirky place. The weather was awful but it was no hardship to stay in and "veg out" for a couple of days. I would definitely stay here again.
-
"This cottage was even nicer than it looked in the photos."
It’s finished beautifully and has such a lovely atmosphere. The owners left us a welcome pack which was very kind, a nice touch. It’s a proper home from home, with everything you need and a lovely big shower.
-
"Hayloft is a lovely cottage,we had a lovely welcome pack and the cottage is in a good location."
-
"The Hayloft was very clean and well equiped, the wood burning stove is very nice to curl up in front of after a long day out exploring the many walks from the doorstep and situated in the perfect spot for access to the village centre, with nice cosy pubs and cafe's, we enjoyed our stay in the Hayloft, thank you."
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hayloft!"
The accommodation is stunning, well kept and immaculately clean! It had everything you needed and more, we especially loved the log burner which heated up the room so fast on the cold evenings! The shower is also very powerful - which is always a plus when staying away. The welcome pack was a lovely extra as well - lots of yummy goodies to be enjoyed throughout the stay. It is in a great location to many walks ....and the drives around the area are out of this world! If you fancy treating yourself, there is a stunning restaurant within Yorebridge House! Exceptional food! We honestly cant wait to come back to the Hayloft...a home away from home :)
-
"It was such a cost little cottage in a really great village."
We were left a lovely welcome package too, wish we'd been able to stay for longer!
-
"Excellent accomodation."
Beautifully furnished with obviously carefully chosen items. Very clean and well presented holiday let. Welcome pack a super treat.
-
"The hayloft was a fantastic place to stay."
the decor and facilities were fresh and modern with a great shower, comfy bed, modern kitchen and a fabulous wood burner. its in a great location on the edge of the town. hawes itself is ideal for getting around the dales, with walks from the doorstep and within easy reach of a wide variety of walks and lovely places to visit. the town itself has a nice variety of independent shops, cafes and pubs and as we had our dog with us we found a couple of great dog friendly pubs (the white hart and the crown) which both did good food. we really enjoyed our week in the dales and loved the hayloft. we would be happy to stay at the hayloft again...but i suspect it will be fully booked in the future!
-
"The location and the setting of the Hayloft is excellent and the facilities in the town (for dog owners) is first rate."
The Hayloft is really well presented and everything you might need is provided. The welcome basket was a nice touch. We were expecting the Hayloft to be smaller than it is as the photo used does not cover the full width of the building. We were pleasantly surprised at how big the living area is.
-
"Could not fault the hayloft it was perfect , location perfect facilities perfect and absolutely spotless we had a lovely welcome pack on arrival too we took own tea coffee etc but had no need it was all there ."
We came home day early as had other engagements, we will def return to the hayloft in future absolutely immaculate . Thank you
-
"Perfect get away for couples."
Lovely accommodation, very high spec. Loved it.
-
"The Hayloft is a little gem set in the bustling village of Hawes."
Beautifully & tastefully designed interior, but with some really practical features for walkers/cyclists with plenty of coat hooks, boot mat and a small lockable shed for bikes and gear. Also some lovely welcoming touches including a small hamper of local biscuits, cheese, bread, jam & butter. Ideally located as a starting point for walks & on or off road cycling, and some real classic Yorkshire Dale walks within a short drive. We will definately revisit; loved the Hayloft, real class and loved the Dales.

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.
