This was our 5th visit to Hawes and Bridge House. The town of Hawes is very attractive with interesting shops, restaurants, pubs and the famous Creamery. It is the ideal place for many enjoyable walks. Bridge House is much bigger than it looks from the outside. It has everything you could possibly want for a great holiday. It is Spacious, spotlessly clean, modern kitchen, Sky, WiFi and excellent heating which makes it warm and cosy. Parking is right outside in the courtyard for one car and free parking for a second car just 100 yards away. There is just one word to describe Bridge House – perfect!

For a walking holiday in the Dales this was ideal for us. Three of us stayed 6 nights in the excellent Bridge House in Hawes and found everything was exactly what we hoped for. The property was immaculate, clean, well appointed and comfortable. There was literally no negative points at all. We had 2 cars, one of which took the allocated space and the other parked in free public car park less than 100 yards away. The cottage is a minute away from the pubs and restaurants of Hawes where we found an excellent selection of menus and some great ales. Ideal property in ideal location. We plan to return.

We stayed for 3 nights in Bridge House and found it a brilliant place to stay.. It’s situated in a small courtyard by the bridge over Gayle Beck, so was perfect for easy access to Hawes amenities. The modern interior was spotlessly clean and had all you could wish for, including WiFi and Sky tv. The kitchen is very well equipped. The main bathroom is a good size with shower over the bath and lashings of hot water. The en-suite in the double bedroom has a spacious shower. The owner, Mike, gave us some very helpful tips beforehand and Christine the cleaner had left us milk and biscuits - very much appreciated! You couldn’t wish for a better place to stay.

Mr King, March 2020

November 2019

This is an excellent holiday home.. The location is perfect, the parking very convenient, the facilities first class (especially Sky TV and very fast broadband) and everything is spotlessly clean. We have visited this property twice this year because it is outstanding and Hawes has everything you could wish for. The cleaner and owner are superb.

Mr Hollingsworth, November 2019

The cottage was very comfortable and in a brilliant location..

Mrs Allen, October 2019

August 2019

Well equipped and very comfortable cottage.. Owner very helpful in giving information about Hawes. The lady who looks after the cottage was also very helpful. This is a good Centre for exploring the dales.

Mrs Salter, August 2019

The washing machine was broken but there was a prompt reply from the cleaner.. The only downside was the rubber mats in the showers. They were badly stained and do need replacing. Otherwise the cottage was lovely and the weather was rather damp!

Mr Whitter

June 2019

The cottage was in a great location very close to centre of Hawes with a carpark space.. The cottage was really fantastic. it had been fully refurbished to high standard. The bedrooms were large with 2 bathrooms . Living areas were large and new kitchen was very well equipped. Even had rucksack and thermos flasks. We will definitely be back - highly recommended!!

Mrs Gouch, June 2019

The cottage was nicely decorated, very clean and had everything we needed

Mrs Gouch

We really enjoyed our stay at Bridge House.. The house is very clean and tidy with plenty of room for a family to have space. The lounge has two big three seater sofas and sky tv. The kitchen is well equipped and there was tea, coffee sugar , sauces etc in the cupboards. It is close to all amenities, with the nearest pub/restaurant within a two minute walk. We look forward to visiting again .

Stayed for 3 nights. The cottage is very well located within the town and within walking distance of all pubs and eateries. The cottage was well presented and spotlessly clean. There is the benefit of a well equipped modern kitchen with plenty of pots, pans and utensils. The rooms are spacious, and modern. Most importantly there was plenty of hot water for showers There is a reserved parking space which was ideal in a courtyard. This is a great find if you need a base from which to walk and explore the surrounding area with quality walks close by. Added to that you are in the town and within walking distance of all it has to offer! I would commend the food at crocketts hotel and the fabulous Green Dragon Inn at Hardraw for its history and beer. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bridge House and there were no negatives.

Mr Keegan

March 2019

Bridge House was in a wonderful location in the centre of Hawes.. The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and spacious. The kitchen was especially well equipped and there was an abundance of pots, pans and utensils. The cottage was deceptively spacious and there were 3 bathrooms. There was an added bonus of Sky TV and WiFi. The accommodation was faultless and the cottage was a great base for exploring the dales with quality walking all around. There was a designated parking space, which was welcome as Hawes is sometimes busy. Within walking distance were plenty of pubs and eateries. There were no negatives and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage. David & Claire

This is an excellent choice for a holiday rental right in the centre of Hawes. The cottage is larger on the inside that you expect from the outside. The furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The bathrooms are modern and there is plenty of hot water. The owner was very helpful in his directions to find the cottage and how to park in the correct place. When we had visitors with another car it was easy to find a space in the free car park nearby. Very convenient for the village, which has many choices of restaurants at every price point and good food shopping.

Mrs Allcutt

Bridge House is a well presented house in the outstanding town of Hawes.. It was very well equipped and we would recommend it to anyone. Shame the weather was not kind to us but in December you cannot guarantee what will happen.

Miss Shilling

September 2018

The cottage was beautiful, set in a wonderful location and very user friendly - heating etc.. There was lots of information about the local area. I would highly recommend this cottage!

Mr Willis

We can’t fault this cottage.. We found it perfectly clean and had everything we needed in it. Great location in the village. We all had a great time there.

Mrs Calland

June 2018

We both enjoyed our holiday very much and have spoken about returning there.. Unfortunately we decided to leave a little early because my husband wasn't well (he is 79), but obviously that had nothing to do with Bridge House, which was great. We loved Hawes, the surrounding countryside, the good places to eat, and the consistent good weather we were lucky enough to experience. We slept comfortably, and had no problems with the facilities (except perhaps there were so many pots, pans and dishes that it didn't leave much room to store the food we bought). The local convenience store is very expensive, and so we stocked up at Catterick. The people we met who own houses adjoining Bridge House were very friendly. What more can I say? There is only parking for one car, which could have been a problem as we had visitors while we were in Hawes, but in fact we managed quite well. I recommend the property highly, and the landlord telephoned us and was very helpful just before our holiday began. Oh - just one other downer - on arrival we couldn't retrieve the key from the keyholder near the front door. We had to wait for Christine (the cleaner) to help us, as there is a knack to it. Otherwise it was all very good, and couldn't have been much better.

Mr Cartwright

Great place to stay.. All finished to a very high standard

Mr White

February 2018

Lovely spacious cottage.. Only have a couple of small issues. We didn't find the cottage terribly warm despite lighting the wooden burning stove the heating Went off one evening and we couldn't get it back on. It was how ever particular cold. Personally found the large bed too soft for me. I wonder whether that could be a specific on the website or is that going a touch too far. Location fantastic lots of pots and pans etc which is a bonus when a dishwasher is supplied.

Mrs Todd

Clean, modern and comfy: a perfect base for exploring the attractions of Hawes and surrounding countryside.. Would love to go back again.

Mr Collier

A beautiful cottage and ideally situated.. The cottage has been refurbished to a very high standard and the owner couldn't of been any more helpful. Everything was provided for a perfect stay. Many thanks Mike.

Beautiful cottage in the beautiful small town setting of Hawes.. Cottage was very clean, comfortable and had everything you could possible need for a relaxing holiday. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage and of course the wonderful service from Sykes.

Mr Mays

Bridge house is very comfortable with easy access to the amenities of hawes.. There are many walks from the doorstep which means you can leave your car safely parked outside. We found the Fountain hotel was great value for money for food & drink with very friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay in Bridge house cottage.

Perfect location, only a few yards from Gayle Beck, and 2 minutes from shops. Just spent a week here and very impressed by this cottage. Has everything required to make your stay welcoming and comfortable. Very well equipped, well presented and in excellent condition. If you like walking, in my opinion, this is the place to stay. This is 5 star accommodation at it's best.

Mr Bird

Just spent a week here.. Have stayed in many Dales cottages over the years. This is by far the best. Extremely well equiped, well presented and in excellent condition. Close to Hawes shops, 2 minute walk. In my opinion this is 5 star accommodation at it's best.

Spoke to the owner before our arrival and he was kind enough to give us information on the cottage and the surrounding area.. The cottage was very comfortable. The village of Hawes was in a lovely part of the dales with plenty of facilities for eating and drinking. The local people being very friendly and helpful.

Mr Bird, June 2017

Fantastic break, would definitely recommend.. The photos do not do the cottage justice.

Miss Jones, February 2017

February 2017

King bed wasn't the most comfortable- we both felt we were rolling away from each other! Kids raved about theirs! A couple of extra chopping boards in the kitchen would have been handy Very well equipped, clean and would recommend again

Turner, December 2016

December 2016

Lovely to return to Bridge House after a couple of years and to find new owners who are very keen to keep Bridge House on the Sykes map.. Excellent communications with friendly and helpful owner who genuinely wanted to make sure that I enjoyed my visit - I did!

Mrs Hooper, February 2017

We all fell in love with the cottage, and with Hawes.. Absolutely lovely!

Mr Dakin, October 2016

October 2016

Cottage was warm and very comfortable.. Great location right in the middle of Hawes. There is full Sky and the wifi is excellent. The owner was particularly helpful and attentive when arranging key pickup and was keen that we had a good break. The town is a great base to explore the Dales and the town has everything for a good holiday. After a good days walk I can particularly recommend the excellent pub grub of the Crown. It's a good idea to book meals out at weekends. Excellent.

Mrs Carson, December 2016

Only to say we enjoyed it very much

Mrs Hodgson, August 2016

August 2016

Fantastic location ! Lots to see and do, for adults and children. Attended Wensleydale Show, Bolton Abbey, Skipton, Richmond, Wensleydale Cheese Factory, Gayle Mill etc. etc. etc. Great pubs/eating in village, all within easy walking distance. Recommend The Crown! Would have liked dressing table/seated area for the master bedroom. Moved dining chair and personal mirror to create our own !! :)

Mr Riley, October 2016

This cottage is much bigger than it looks online and the images don't do it justice.. The fixtures and fittings in the bathrooms and kitchen are all brand new and the house is kept spotlessly clean. The only slight negative is that it says online that there is a terrace so I was expecting perhaps a small patio. What it means is that there is a table and chairs outside of the front door where you can sit next to the car parking space. This was a little disappointing to my daughter 7, but the close proximity of the local rather lovely play park and the large open spaces in the lounge and dining area more than made up for it.

Mr Parsons

July 2016

Bridge House is perfectly located in a quiet side road just off the main street in Hawes. Shops and restaurants are all within easy walking distance and it's an ideal location for exploring the upper Dales. Extremely well-appointed cottage, especially the bathroom and en-suite facilities. The off-road parking space, washer/dryer and wifi also ticks all the boxes. Thoroughly recommended.

Jackie S

We have just spent a week in the cottage and loved it. Ideal base for exploring the Dales and perfectly placed to explore Hawes and the walks from the doorstep. The cottage was so clean and fresh and extremely well equipped one of the best we have stayed in we will be back again to stay in this cottage.

Mrs Campling, August 2016
