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.

We had a hugely enjoyable time in the Dales. Over the years we’ve stayed in many rental properties and your cottage wins our award for the best ever. It’s imaginatively and tastefully restored, characterful without being twee, very well equipped, and has a wonderful bed.

We loved our stay in this gem of a cottage! Every detail of comfort, convenience and style carefully thought through. Thank you especially for the hamper of treats and excellent maps. It was a very memorable stay and thanks most kindly.

What a fab time we had in your cottage and the lovely surroundings. We really admired the way you have renovated the house, some really inspirational ideas. Loved the welcome pack, the wine etc in the fridge and the generous supply of logs - everything you provided was generous and that is lovely. I always use Alastair Sawday for booking holidays and he is always spot on, never had a bad one. Mill Fosse Cottage was up there with the really memorable breaks.

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.
We had a wonderful time here. The accommodation is very quirky and to a very high standard. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and yours rated as one of the best, if not the best. The attention to detail makes all the difference, the high quality fixtures and fittings, the lovely welcome basket (not just a pint of milk and a loaf of bread) with local food to try. The toiletries. Great cooking facilities and lovely crockery. And, of course, the basket of very useful things for our dog, never experienced this before.
