Great Location

The location was amazing just what my friend and I needed, perfect for budding artists. The beds were very comfortable and an amazing array of cooking implements which is not always the case. We felt a great deal of thought had been put into making it a home from home stay.

Lovely Autumn Stay

We really loved Yarn House! Three generations came to celebrate my mums birthday and we had the best weekend! Everything you need is there and the house itself is wonderful! The sound of the river was so relaxing and the short walk down into the village was very pleasant. We can’t wait to come back!

3 peaks stopover

A really lovely place to stay. We walked the 3 peaks and needed a cottage close to the route. The house was very comfortable, well stocked and very clear and helpful instructions. Lots of parking just round the corner. Also very close to Hawes with plenty of shops and food options. Perfect for us!

Idyllic bolthole in Yorkshire Dales

Well equipped & spacious townhouse style property in small hamlet of Gayle with the bonus of a lovely 10 min walk into the bustling market town of Hawes. Lots to do & see around the area as well as stunning countryside walks for all ages & abilities. Youngest enjoyed nothing more than playing in the beck just outside the front door. Gary & Samantha answered all our questions & gave lots of local info to help our stay, highly reccomend the property & location.

Perfect location for exploring North Yorkshire

We had a fantastic week in Gayle. Parking was easy and only a few yards away from the front door. The house was comfortable and exactly as shown in the pictures. Hawes is literally a 10 minute walk away from downtown Hawes. There are several really delicious places to eat in Hawes. There are plenty of walks right from the house. And more places within a short drive to explore. We highly recommend this house.

Lovely stay

We had a great stay here and really enjoyed the area and the property. My only two things to flag that I would have changed. Were it was only very near our stay that we were informed we would need to bring our own towels. We felt this should have been highlighted before booking. And we were disappointed that there was no milk to start us off as it is quite a rural area and we arrived later in the evening.

Fantastic location

Lovely quaint cottage in a beautiful location. Arrived a little earlier than the arranged time and told by cleaner to come back AFTER allotted time as she was running late. Bit annoyed as we were meeting friends and had to unpack, eat and get ready so was late and rushed. Bedding, crockery, utensils very clean and on the whole everywhere was clean. That was until we accidently dropped something behind the television and was shocked at the dirt. On inspection of behind furniture and skirtings it was clear that these areas had been neglected. All said and done we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend a stay here. Constructive criticism

Gayle

6 of us travelled from Scotland to Gayle and we all had a fantastic time during our time in Yorkshire. I thought that the cottage might be a little far away from the main street in Hawes but it wasn't a problem. The only thing that we couldn't find was an iron. We found the board but not the iron. That's all
