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. ##### Megan J.

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. ##### Wanda B.

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 ##### Derek H.
