Cartwheel Cottage

Cartwheel Cottage is a delightful cottage standing on the corner of a narrow and quiet wynd linking the two main thoroughfares through the market town of Hawes in upper Wensleydale. A semi-detached, traditional stone built cottage with an adjoining garage in the heart of the town which is an ideal base for a couples or families to explore the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and all its splendours or to travel even further afield. For those who are keen fell-walkers there are hillsides aplenty on the doorstep and the Yorkshire Three Peaks only 30 minutes away.

Entry to the cottage from the wynd is to a large open plan living space with original ceiling beams and support posts, a feature fireplace with stone hearth and lintel and a large window seat to watch the world go by. To the left of the room is a well-equipped, fitted kitchen and dining area including an oak table and chairs and to the right is a snug and comfortable lounge with leather sofa and reclining leather chairs. An open balustrade stairway rises from the lounge to a landing serving a cosy double bedroom, a light and airy bunkroom, which is ideal for children, and a bathroom with bath and electric shower head, wash basin and toilet.

Cartwheel Cottage was originally renovated in 2006 but has recently been thoughtfully refurbished to highlight many of the charming and original features. These bring character to a cosy cottage with tasteful decoration and comfortable yet stylish furnishings that together provide a truly lovely cottage for a couple or family of four in the heart of Hawes. Perfectly located to walk the local fells or the Pennine Way, cycle the Tour de Yorkshire and Grand Depart routes and of course try the famous Wensleydale Cheese and local beers.
