We had a lovely stay at this beautyfull cottage.The curtains in bedrooms are not that usefull. We are travelling with an infant so we had to create a dark room and I sleep better as well when it is darker.

Second visit to Watersedge and as lovely as we remembered. Felt very much at home as soon as we arrived. Very clean, comfy beds, very well equipped. Enjoyed the outdoor space. Great to have off street parking.Well positioned for walks to nearby town of Hawes.Lovely to hear the beck behind the cottage.

Excellent property, only observation is it needs a gate to make the patio secure for dogs. Patio much better now trees have been trimmed.
