Very quirky cottage in central location

We loved our stay in this cottage. The location is very central and ideal; a 2 minute walk to the Wensleydale Creamery, the convenience store, chip shop and pubs within a stone's throw. We will be back. Thank you.

Cattle market cottage

Comfortable cottage though could do with an upgrade in kitchen , a little shabby , ideal location with plenty walks on the door step . We enjoyed our stay . Scenery stunning , plenty of places to eat out . Great cottage for walkers , maybe not family with kids due to stairs!

Quirky weekend away

This was my third time at cattlemarket cottage. Improvements have been made including new boiler and hive installed since my last visit. A remarkable location, so close to all amenities in the village. Great value for money. Will be back at some point!

Nice little Cottage, well equipped for our needs during our weekend stay. The washing machine came in handy! Great location, Hawes is a lovely little market town. In my view, I feel that the cottage could benefit from a lick of paint here and there, and a deep clean in areas, especially skirting boards and tops of picture frames where fluff and dust gather. We really did enjoy our stay in this beautiful part of the country ❤️

Amazing property in stunning location.

If you’re searching for a property in the Yorkshire Dales area, don’t look any further. This is, by far, the cheapest and best located property that we found after 3 days of searching. A little bonus is that Hawes is the town where Wallace & Grommit was set. The check in process was convenient, the house was spotlessly clean and the beds were so comfortable. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly. We lost our dog while we were there and the owner did everything she could to help us find it. I would absolutely recommend this property.

The cottage is so cute and quirky!Very clean! It is so very central in Hawes; excellent location. Wonderful Chippie across the street; market outside the door on Tuesday, Wensleydale Cheese outlet/giftshop/factory a few steps away. The entire village is within walking distance and a delightful, nostalgic break from the workaday world. That doesnt mean its sleepy; its a vibrant, bustling village!Perhaps a bit more emphasis on the quirkiness of the cottage would be helpful. The stairway system, while extremely charming, could be quite a hindrance to anyone to has even the slightest mobility issue(s). They are winder-style steps and can be tricky. As well, the bathroom is at the top of the first flight, lounge is two steps up from there; master bedroom is another short flight with the 2nd bedroom up another flight. Although we found this rather fun, to get up to the bathroom in the night was a challenge from the top floor. We left the hall light on.The beds werent the most comfortable. Springs poking in the master bed and the twin beds were quite unforgiving. Ok maybe for kids, but quite uncomfortable for adults. Another suggestion would be a larger saucepan or two. We tried to make porridge and the pot was small and very light-weight with the nonstick worn off. Overall, would highly recommend this sweet cottage for holidays!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hawes. Million dollar views all around! From the master bedroom in particular!

States parking, doesnt say you have to be lucky to get a spot after constant watching/waiting for one as its a town with shops so lots of locals as well as visitors wanting a spot ! Having to do this put us off going anywhere by car after the first 2 days! Once we got a space it stayed there till end of our trip. Next booking i make will have its own parking space.

About the host

Host profile image
I have been visiting North Yorkshire for over 35 years with my husband and latterly with our two children and have now realised a dream and purchased our own cottage to share the the delights of the Yorkshire Dales with our guests. The Dales is a place where we can come and de-stress as we all lead hectic lives. We are pleased to share our home from home with all that you would expect to make your stay complete.

Why they chose this property

Excellent local amenities and good tourist attractions and remote walks. We have visited North Yorkshire for over thirty five years and have fallen in love with 'God's own country'.

Good cleanliness reviews. Disinfectant and all surfaces wiped down. Complimentary hand santiser

What makes this property unique

We have free, robust, intenet access for guests, all local amenities are within walking distance of the cottage and the quirky layout is unique. These are the features that drew us to this property and account for many returning guests.

The property is an ideal holiday home in terms of cleanliness, amenities, location and one pet dog.
