Take your best furry friend on exciting walks through the Yorkshire Dales, then return to the comfort of this stone cottage. Sleeping four guests, this two-bedroom bolthole nestles in Gayle on the outskirts of Hawes. With a wood burner for cosy nights in, it also comes with a delightful garden where you and your four-pawed pal can make the most of the fresh country air.

Wander inside to find an abundance of traditional Yorkshire cottage character. Take your pet through to the kitchen/diner for a little downtime as you brew strong Yorkshire tea to enjoy at the table. Discover all you need in here to conjure up home-cooked meals with your own ingredients and find ample space for feeding your delighted dog. The beamed lounge is an idyllic spot for kicking back to rest and recuperate. Let your chum find a spot on the rug while you settle on the plush sofas and the wood burner crackles gently. Watch the Smart TV as your contented canine dozes. Also downstairs, you have a garden room, with a leafy outlook and a step up to a dining table for formal meals. Give your chum a last stroke, then make your way up the cottage-style stairs to your two bedrooms, a twin and a king-size. The family shower room is also here. The enclosed patio garden has different levels. Unwind in its peaceful surroundings as your pal potters about. Parking for this cottage is on the street, subject to availability.

Lace up your boots, pick up the dog lead and stride off along the picturesque Pennine Way, which passes through Hawes. Venture 10 miles to see the spectacular Aysgarth Falls and to follow its wooded footpaths. The Buttertubs Pass, 5 miles away, is an exhilarating hike for energetic dogs and offers panoramic views.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was warm, cosy and had everything we needed for a lovely weekend break. Beds were comfy and we especially loved the under floor heating in the bathroom!

We had a lovely few days in Hillwell House. It is beautifully renovated, very comfortable and everything you need for a home from home has been thought of. Beds are comfortable and bedding high quality. With easy access to Hawes for places to eat and shops and also lots of lovely walks on your doorstep it was a perfect stay for us. There is no Read morededicated parking, but easy parking just down the very quiet lane, and no issues. And, we loved the couches, thought they really suited the property and were very comfy - its all a matter of taste :) Hide

On opening the door we were impressed how well the cottage was presented, not at all like a holiday home. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable with modern touches. The oven does take a while to heat up and needs to be factored into preparing meals but otherwise it was well equipped. After unloading outside the cottage, parking was about 100 meRead moretres away on a quiet road. We had a thoroughly enjoyable short break and would happily return. Hide

Beautiful cottage that has been renovated with sympathetic understanding to the original building. Added bonus decorated to our style. We managed to get to the top of the garden on our last day and it would have been the perfect place for a glass of wine in the evening sun had we had the sun and warmth, maybe next time.

Gorgeous traditional Yorkshire cottage with a lovely 'wild' garden, also great for the sun. Very comfortable and well equipped. Great location in a quiet lane only minutes by foot to the centre of Hawes. Walks on the doorstep. Very happily stay here again!

This is a cosy welcoming cottage in a quiet location. Beautiful walks from the door and such a lovely place to return to. The kitchen is well equipped and the Esse range is a delight to use. We saw a barn owl from the bedroom window one morning. Parking is about 100m up the road and the outside is a little unsuitable for those less mobile.

Fantastic cottage located just outside of Hawes village, quiet location but easy walking distance into the village. Probably one of the best cottages we have stayed at. The cottage was renovated to a high standard, keeping original features although adding modern touches to make it a comfy stay. Would highly recommend a stay here.
