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.

  The good: - Great location for Malham and the Pennine Way - Lots of space in living areas and two of the bedrooms - Clean The bad: - Lacking some basics (scissors in the kitchen; saucepans big enough to cook basics for 4) - Very small and compromised bathrooms - In poor state of repair in places (large glass shower door held on with silicone, and fell off; bad smell from drains; TVs in bedrooms not working) - Layout of outdoor space leads to a total lack of privacy in garden (which is shared with the neighbouring cottage). For example, the Hot Tub is placed just a few feet from the one belonging to the neighbouring cottage, meaning no privacy if the neighbours use theirs at the same time. (Especially so if you have neighbours who spend their time smoking, drinking, swearing, shouting and arguing in the hot tub!) We eventually cut our stay short and came home a day early. The owner did offer a partial refund, reflecting some of these issues, but this has never materialised and he has since stopped answering messages asking him to honour his promises.

  Holme Barn is exceptionally well equipped, spacious, comfortable and well located for Hawes and the surrounding area. It is a great advantage to have a parking space next to the cottage in central Hawes. However, the only downside is that the access lane is very narrow and it is quite difficult to manoeuvre anything larger than a mid-sized vehicle into the parking space, especially with the table and chairs and bin store occupying both sides of the parking area. This is not apparent from the cottage description and photos. Great care is needed when using the shower - if the temperature control is turned any higher than lukewarm, the temperature alternates between freezing cold and scalding hot. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at Holme Barn and would certainly recommend it to anyone wishing to stay in Hawes.

  Location was beautiful, with great views and lots of local walks. It is remote, so a car is required for days out, and the local roads are often single track with passing places. The accommodation was a bit cramped for five adults. Three bath / shower rooms have been squeezed in, but the layouts are poor. One shower room is tiny, and to get to the basin in the main bathroom you have to squeeze through a gap between the bath and the toilet. Small changes would make a difference such as bins and mirrors in each of the bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did have issues with the microwave (blew up and had to be replaced!) and the electricity tripping and being unable to find the fuse box. We added a note to the info folder for future holiday makers.

  Our two night stay at the charming Yurt was magical! From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by the warm and genuine hospitality of Jo & Steve. the wonderful owners who made our experience truly unforgettable.The Yurt itself was a cost haven. Breakfast (and the burger!!) were culinary delights that delighted our taste bud. One of the highlights was to interact with their cows, (you can feed the pigs too)/Leaving the yurt is bittersweet as we get to leave behind our magical retreat BUT we are already planning our return and this time with our friends.Thank you Jo and Steve for your hospitality, your chats, the food everything. Thank you for the personal touch that made our stay so special. It was the best (my best) birthday ever.
