  • "Bridge House is excellent value in a lovely position by the river, right in the centre of Hawes, with lots of space."

    Christine who we communicated with was so helpful and friendly. We would be very happy to stay here again. The only thing I’d mention is as it’s an old property and by the river and had a damp smell, there is a dehumidifier.

    I'm so glad you liked the cottage Steven. sorry about the damp smell. I wonder was the dehumidifier switched on? Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed a nice week at Bridge House for our break to the Yorkshire Dales."

    Prior to arrival and after arrival the housekeeper answered any questions we had and was very helpful. When arriving at Bridge House the property was cleaned to a very good standard. Bridge House provided sufficient room for our family group including our dog for our stay in Hawes. We did encounter a handful of issues during our stay, these included: - Washer/dryer is advertised on the listing, it is in fact a washer only. Thankfully we only needed to wash light items (e.g. t-shirts) during our stay so we were able to use the air dryer on the landing near to the dehumidifier which dried out our washing - Central heating didn't seem to come on during our stay, when the living room got cold we had to rely on the electric fire to warm it up - A couple of family members felt the settees weren't comfortable as you couldn't sit up straight, that could be due to personal preference not that there was any problem with the settees - The oven in the kitchen wasn't working, so we had to rely on other kitchen facilities such as the hob, grill, microwave and toaster to make meals during our stay, this was reported by ourselves - The owner may wish to contact the council as vehicles kept parking on the corner clearly marked as 'KEEP CLEAR' near the property and this occasionally made exiting the parking area tricky Despite the issues we encountered it didn't prevent us from enjoying our stay at Bridge House as it provided a fantastic base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales - even though the weather wasn't the best during our stay. We dined out at a few pubs whilst staying at Bridge House, would definitely recommend The Three Horseshoes in Wensley as they offer a friendly welcome and great food.

    I'm glad you enjoyed you stay in Bridge House Stephen. sorry about the issues you experienced.. we've just had a new washer and I did ask for the dryer reference to be removed which I believe it has now. The central heating comes on when the temperature drops below 20°which I assume it didn't do. if you have a return visit please let us know if you want a higher temperature. we've had comments that it's too warm in the past! Christine, the cleaner, tried the oven after your comments, and it was working then?? The 'KEEP CLEAR' space near the cottage is not always kept clear. The offender has been spoken to previously but not taken much notice. I've never seen a parking warden in the town, which perhaps explains the above attitude. Property Owner

  • "Comfortable cottage in the heart of the village."

    Very clean and with a well equipped kitchen. Parking for only one car but plenty of parking nearby. Great base for exploring the surrounding countryside, either by foot or car. Can highly recommend.

    So glad you found the cottage and it's location to your liking Gail. We hope to see you again sometime soon Property Owner

  • "Property was clean and well furnished."

    We had trouble with the heating which is controlled by the owner. Rads did not get hot and timing was very random. The on site manager tried to assist with limited success. As it was a very chilly weekend the lack of heat was most disappointing.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry for the issues you experienced with the heating. Although the app showed it was set to 21 degrees, an app glitch caused this to reduce to 17 degrees without us realising, and we're sorry the property felt cold during your stay. Please be assured this has been identified and rectified but we’ll be keeping a closer eye on this going forward. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. Property Owner

  • "Bridge House is a lovely house right in the centre of Hawes near the shops."

    Parking was right outside. It was spotlessly clean, had comfortable beds and very comfortable settees in the lounge. The kitchen was very well equipped. We would certainly stay here again if in the area.

  • "Hard towels Not able to control heating when -4 degrees outside !"

    !! Owner only person who could control heating and had to be contacted by 3rd party (who was very helpful) but on holiday !!

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the towels weren’t to your preference, we’ve found that some guests do like them this way as they tend to dry quicker, but I appreciate that everyone has different expectations. I understand it was very cold outside during your stay and we have found most guests are comfortable with the preset temperatures, but I completely appreciate that your party had specific needs. When raised, I was happy to adjust the settings for you. We do prefer to have the thermostat preset as we’ve had instances where heating was left on full with windows open, which can cause significant energy waste. I hope you can understand why we manage this carefully. Thank you again for your comments, and I hope despite these points you enjoyed your stay overall. Property Owner

HAWES

Leyburn 16 miles.

Hawes is a popular market town in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire and is regarded as one of the honeypot tourist attractions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Standing between Buttertubs and Fleet Moss, the town is an excellent centre for walking and touring Wensleydale and the adjoining dales of Swaledale, Cotterdale, Dentdale, Garsdale, Wharfedale and Chapel-le-Dale. Take a walk around the Hawes Town Trail, Millennium Walk, Pennine Way or along the River Ure, which is nearby. In 1998 Hawes was awarded the English Tourist Board Silver Award for the "Best Day Trip Out". Modern traffic has long replaced coaches and horse drawn wagons along its narrow streets, but market day (Tuesdays) in Hawes is as busy as ever, with a farmers’ auction attracting sheep farmers from all over the north of England. Traditional shops, cafés and inns now cater for a variety of Dales visitors as well as the local community. The award-winning Wensleydale Creamery, made famous by the animated Wallace and Grommit films, is now open to visitors so that they can see the famous cheese being made and sample the end product in a welcoming café. In the old station yard you will find the busy National Park Centre and Dales Countryside Museum. The Museum is home to the magnificent collection of Dales artefacts by the two great Dales historians and writers, Marie Hartley and Joan Ingilby.
