Description
Hawes 0.5 miles.
A lovely, stone-built semi-detached, 18th century cottage, located in the centre of the small hamlet of Gayle, on the outskirts of Hawes.
This superb Wensleydale cottage is a real delight with many of the original features of the cottage, including the old beams, exposed stonework, little nooks and crannies, retained during the renovation.
The cottage is unusual, set out over three floors with a wonderful mix of modern styling seamlessly combined with the old character of this typical Dales cottage.
On entering the cottage, guests will be immediately met with a cosy sitting room with old ceiling beams, a stone fireplace with warming woodburning stove and a delightful dining area set by the window.
Snuggle up by the fire on a dark winter’s night and enjoy your favourite tipple and a good book.
A lovely oak kitchen and utility area complete the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor main bedroom is cosy and stylish, with original sash windows and wooden flooring, whilst the single room provides flexible sleeping arrangements.
A modern bathroom with separate shower and bath is located on the second floor, adding further unusual charm to this delightful holiday home.
Outside, there is a courtyard with furniture, an ideal place to converse with the passing locals, and the storage area provides an excellent lock-up for bikes and outdoor equipment after busy days amongst the beautiful Dales countryside.
The hamlet of Gayle is famous for Gayle Mill, which is thought to be the oldest structurally unaltered cotton mill in existence, with this cottage having links to the mill due to the fact that it was formally owned by the Anderson family, who were the last owners of the mill before it was renovated.
Nearby Hawes is a popular holiday destination with a wide range of amenities including shops, pubs and tea rooms and the not-to-be-missed Wensleydale Creamery, which is just a short stroll from the doorstep.
With great walks from the doorstep, this is an ideal cottage for that long-awaited break in the country and a perfect place for a romantic getaway.

What guests are saying
Carefully restored, characterful cottage in the picturesque village of Gayle.
The accommodation is compact, particularly the kitchen, but there is enough room for two.
Very comfortable and welcoming cottage which was exceptionally well equipped.
We found it furnished to a high standard, and spotlessly clean. Parking was challenging with a large car, however we were able to park a few minutes walk away. We would not hesitate to book another stay.
We have stayed at mill cottage twice and on both occasions we have enjoyed our holiday there.
There is everything you need for a perfect holiday.The only thing I would mention is it may not be suitable for people that don’t like steep stairs as the bathroom is on the 3rd floor.I think I am pretty fit for 78 and I had no trouble with the stairs.I would recommend staying at mill cottage anytime we shall be booking again next year all being well.
