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.

Reviews

Kelly & Matthew, Lancashire

I would just like to say thank you for our recent stay this weekend in your lovely cottage. Your place was absolutely stunning and made our 10 year anniversary very special and one we won't forget. It was very cosy and homely making our stay very relaxing and comfortable. Thank you so much for our hamper of goodies they was lovely and very kind of you. I will definitely recommend you to everyone and will definitely be returning in the future. Again thank you very much


Julia

We had a wonderful holiday in this beautiful cottage. We are so glad to have found it as it was perfect for us - we wouldn’t change a thing. Also enjoyed the countryside of the Dales. Thank you for everything, we look forward to returning.


Mark and Michele, Oxfordshire

Utterly Fab & exquisite cottage. Thank you for such a lovely stay - everything is utterly, utterly perfect. Swoon!


Sue, Sunshine Coast, Qld, Australia

Perfect cottage. Five star kitchen and bathroom. Quaint village and amazing surrounding countryside. Lots to see and do. Yorkshire is an exceptional destination and the cottage is lovely to come home to.


Sarah, Cheshire

We had a thoroughly super stay at the cottage. It beat our expectations, was so well appointed, beautifully furnished and so toasty. If it were my cottage I would not want other people using it! I fell in love with the cooker and roasted a delicious local shoulder of lamb, although the Yorkshire Puds were a bit of a disaster! The goody box was very generous and we loved the touch of the complimentary mug - a very unique and clever gift. Thank you for a lovely week. We will be back.


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 Sue & Ian Burrows

  • 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. If you love cheese this is the place for you.
  • 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.
  • For culture vultures try Fountains, Bolton or Jervaulx abbeys or castles Skipton, Bolton and Middleham. There's also Newby Hall, Mount Grace Priory or Constable Burton Hall and not forgetting the Georgian theatre royal in Richmond.
  • 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. You could try the Tour de Yorkshire challenge over Buttertubs Pass. Or take it easier cycling around Hawes and the surrounding countryside.

Introducing

Sue & Ian Burrows

Sue and Ian are keen walkers and cyclists so are naturally drawn to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, especially Hawes and the iconic Gayle Beck. They want you to enjoy it all too and to go home completely recharged and with wonderful memories.
