What our customers say about their holidays

  This was our second holiday in the last 12 months at Little Bower.

  We love it. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and cosy. It is ideal for a retired active couple such as ourselves. It is perfectly situated being just off the main street of Hawes and next to all facilities such as groceries etc. This is especially important to us as we do not own a car and travel to Hawes by train and then the excellent Little White Bus service fetching and taking us to the remote Garsdale train station at the start and end of our holiday. We were very impressed by how friendly, helpful and efficient the cottage owner's daughter was in sorting a problem with the water heating after our arrival. It was fixed by sorting the timer promptly the very next morning by their appointed tradesman. This was at no inconvenience to ourselves as, by arrangement the tradesman could access the cottage without us needing to be there. This was very helpful to us as we had planned to take the early bus to Leyburn for a day out and enjoyed a lovely day there. We have been holidaying at Hawes for over 30 years and for most of that time we came with our touring caravan and our 2 boys and stayed at the Brown Moor site. They are now in their late 30s and have their own families and we no longer have a caravan. We intend to come back twice each year and look forward to spending these breaks at the Little Bower.

  I was given information from Sykes on contacting the owner for the key code number for our stay.

  The day before we contacted via the number only to find that the person on the end of the phone was in CYPRUS I was charged 65p as this was made outside my plan and I was unaware. She rang her mother to sort it out. Needless to say I am not happy. Please can things like this be ironed out. The window in the bedroom was twisted and could not close properly so we had a towel stuffed to stop the draft. There was no heating in that room. I have been advised that this has been addressed but not sure if anyone checks. Please could this be passed onto the owners of the Little Bower and make sure they are NOT OUT OF THE COUNTRY when visitors have been given this contact. It certainly taints my use of Sykes as a means of booking a cottage.

  Absolutely splendid location with stunning views of the Yorkshire countryside. Kids were safe to play in the spacious walled area outside and loved the Smart-TV in the evenings. The lane is very quiet with hardly any traffic. Maps and guides for walks were very much appreciated as indeed also the vast amount of flyers on other attractions. We definitely recommend to visit the weekly sheepdog demonstration nearby and the Chippie in Hawes offers great fish and chips. We (2 adults, 3 kids aged 10,13,17) spent two very memorable happy weeks here exploring the countryside and will definitely come back, as the area has so much to offer for active families!

  The entry to the property/key pick up is easy, and you walk in to the cottage to find everything you need.

  The cottage is immaculate, and kitted out very nicely. It was cosy, warm, and had brilliant Internet connections, too. We never needed to speak to Olivia, the owner, as everything was perfect whilst we were there. Hawes is a beautiful village, set in some of the most beautiful countryside. Parking in Hawes is very good, so you won't need to worry about parking your own car nearby. There is a space, but it's quite rightly reserved for local residents. We had a terrific saty, in a clean, comfortable place, and found everything we needed nearby. We'll be returning.

  The property was superb. It was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. It was furnished to a very high standard and is really big (the pictures don't do it proper justice). It was perfectly situated in a beautiful hamlet but yet within a 5 minute drive from Hawes with lovely pubs, shops, a supermarket and the starting point for many walks. The location was idlyllic; tranquil and relaxing with walks directly out of the front door. We met the owners who were extremely friendly and helpful. We would absolutely recommend this property. 5 stars.
