The
Experience
Follow the babbling Mill Race to a quiet corner of Hawes to find this beautifully converted piece of Wensleydale history. The old Mill Fosse Cottage, with its blend of quirky touches, thick stone walls, flagged floors and exposed beams, is a snug, stylish retreat. Within a couple of minutes, you’re in the heart of Hawes. Visit the Wensleydale Creamery and Museum, browse the antique shops or have a lazy lunch by the river. The Dales are ready to be explored, or you can take the short walk to Hardraw Falls and the pub next door.Two people can spread out a bit here. Cook in the sociable kitchen (there are stools for chatterers), eat in the dining hall then relax in the upstairs sitting room in front of the wood-burner.

An absolute gem of a cottage to spend my birthday and a week away. The cottage is just stunning and exactly what we wanted. The mix of old and new was lovely. The welcome hamper and the doggie basket just added to the lovely touches. Hawes is a great spot to explore the Dales.

Beautiful Cottage. We’ve had a fabulous stay and made the most of our trip to the Yorkshire Dales. If only we lived in a cottage like this all year round. Our little dog Lucca has also loved his trip and says thanks for the dog treats!

Location
The neighbourhood
Hawes is a vibrant, bustling market town - a self-sustaining working community – set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Home to the Wensleydale Creamery and Museum, a renowned Ropemakers and weekly sheep and furniture auctions. Within a stone’s throw of the cottage are good pubs and cafes, traditional food stores and antique shops. It’s surrounded by wonderful walking country and Aysgarth Falls, captured by Turner, Ruskin and Wordsworth, is a 20-minute drive.
Local points of interest from Aisling Anderson
- The Wensleydale Creamery is one of the top tourist destinations in the Dales. Just a short walk from the cottage you can watch the famous cheese being made, buy scrummy cheese to take home, visit the gift shop and enjoy the 1897 coffee shop.
- The Dales Countryside Museum tells the story of the Yorkshire Dales and the local people who have shaped the landscape for thousands of years. There are galleries, special exhibitions, a funky cafe and gift shop filled with items made by local artists.
- Founded in 1725 the Outhwaite Ropeworks is a short stroll away. You can watch all kind of ropes being made the traditional way, take a tour of the factory and finish off in the gift shop.
- From your doorstep there are fabulous walks taking in spectacular waterfalls, wonderful scenery, ancient woodlands, drystone walls, flower-rich hay meadows in the spring and not forgetting the sheep, there's a lot of them.
- The impressive Hardraw Falls are located in a lovely woodland setting beside a river, worth a visit especially if has been raining as they positively thunder with energy. Kevin Costner took a dip in them in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
- If you fancy hiring bikes for the day go to Stage 1 Cycles, located in the beautiful old Hawes railway station. If cycling is not your thing try the lovely coffee shop, all the cakes are freshly baked on site and it has great coffee.
