Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Gayle?
The best area to stay in Gayle is the village centre, particularly around the main street, which offers convenient access to local amenities and the Gayle Mill.

The village centre of Gayle is quite compact and well-preserved, with traditional stone cottages lining the main thoroughfare. You'll find the Gayle Institute, a community hall, and the beck (small stream) running through the village. The Gayle Mill, a historic working water-powered sawmill, is a top landmark at the edge of the village, easily reachable on foot. This area provides a lovely base for exploring the local countryside.

Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will find the village centre ideal. It offers a quiet setting with direct access to walking paths leading into the Yorkshire Dales, such as the route towards Hawes. The local pub, often a centre of village life, provides a cosy spot for an evening drink and a meal.

For those who enjoy walking and a more rural experience, staying slightly outside the immediate village centre, perhaps along the road towards Hawes, can also be a good option.
When is the best time to go to Gayle?
The best time to visit Gayle is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its finest and the village truly comes alive.

During this period, you'll find the warmest temperatures and the most sunshine, making it great for exploring the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The longer daylight hours mean you can make the most of the walking trails, enjoy picnics by the Gayle Beck, and experience the local events that often take place in the warmer season. This is ideal for couples and families who want to spend their days outdoors.

If you prefer a quieter experience and don't mind cooler temperatures, late spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) are also good choices. The Dales are beautiful with spring flowers or autumn colours, and there are fewer visitors.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
