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

Janet & Kevin, Chesham

We loved your cottage - it was one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. The bed was so comfortable and all the little touches in decorations and furnishings were beautiful. So many excellent walks direct from the cottage and great places to eat in Hawes - never really needed to move the car. The bathroom was fabulous - lovely toiletries, I particularly loved the scented diffusers. The human and doggie hampers were very welcome. And the kitchen had everything we could need. I don’t think there is anything we would change, we cannot recommend Mill Fosse Cottage highly enough.


Stewart & Fiona, Lanarkshire

A dream cottage in a dream location. We have had such a lovely time! We loved the tasteful decoration. There is nothing to improve on. Everything is just perfect. Thank you for the lovely hamper and fridge treats.


Emily & Andrew, Newcastle

Your holiday cottage is beautiful and decorated to such a high standard with high attention to details. Little things like walking maps, what to do in the area and Netflix for those rainy afternoons! Loved the delicious smelling diffusers too! We loved our surprise hamper which was a very kind gesture. We especially loved being able to park the car and walk everywhere (we live in a rural location) so that was a treat for us. Andrew and myself found the cottage a perfect size for us and we will definitely book again in the future, the Dales are stunning!


Carole & Dave, Lancashire

Lovely cottage. Warm and inviting. Renovation brilliant, quirky with all mod cons. Thanks for the treats.


Steve & Karen, Cheshire

Second time here and as beautiful as ever. Thank you.


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.
