  An outstanding traditional property with original features that offers everything you need. The bathrooms are spacious and quite new, with lots of very hot water and great water pressure we fought for the upstairs shower! Great to have the option to have twin beds, a rarity. With the beautifully rustic open fires lit Thorns is very cosy, with a home from home fee. We loved all the personal items giving character and personality. It is traffic free and so peaceful with stunning views of Wensleydale from every window. Guests were staying at the neighbouring properties did not disturb us - due to thick walls and offset parking. Supplies and equipment are well considered, we especially appreciated the fire lighters, kindling and logs. Agree with others, much better than it looks in the pictures, We left the cars at Thorns and enjoyed three different walks every day from the property. We walked into delightful Hawes for our evening meals - took head torches as it is so dark! Many thanks for the extras - cheese and cake, a lovely gesture and yummy! Overall we had a lovely stay Thorns is comfortable, peaceful and very well equipped.

  Jackie And John have an absolute amazing property.

  It has been furnished to a high specification which is gorgeous. Everything is brand new. The kitchen was excellently equipped with everything, included salt pepper, cling film and foil (which some accommodations don’t provide). Children’s cutlery plates bowls and cups provided - another bonus to prevent breakages. To us the little things really help to make a stay homely and comforting. Such as the throws and a little dog basket. The house is in an excellent location to the park and sea front, with great parking on the road outside the house. Use the clock to get 3 hours free parking or the scratch card for all day parking. The beds were very comfortable and lovely fresh clean bedding. Towels again brand new and fluffy. Bathrooms were immaculate and to the top specification. TVs were up to date with apps enabled. Free WIFI bonus! The house was perfect for our stay - not one negative. We will be returning thank you so much x

  Spotlessly clean on our arrival, the caretaker was even waiting for us to arrive to introduce herself and make sure if we had any concerns we knew how to contact her, first class service. The property was wonderfully situated, very well equipped, warm, comfortable and the bathrooms were outstanding, all quality fixtures and fittings, even down to the denby tableware. The large garden was great for the kids to let off steam and with so many walks right from the doorstep we were never short of anything to do. The fact the property is surrounded by fields and well away from any roads meant it was quiet and we could allow the children to wander freely, oh and the views! We had such a wonderful stay that we are planning to return the same week next year.

  We had a lovely stay at the cottage.

  Which was cosy and comfortable. For us however the lack of washing machine and dishwasher was a negative. As was only one toilet/bathroom. There was no welcome pack of basics (soap, washing up liquid, uht milk, coffee, tea etc.) We have always had these basics in other holiday cottages. I would imagine you are supposed to provide a small soap at sinks? It was almost like it had been forgotten. There was a label and socks in the front bedroom wardrobe so that clearly had not been thoroughly cleaned. Also nowhere near enough hangers in any of the rooms. The beds were small and not comfy, but this is something I need to check more closely another time. The location was ideal and we love Whitby so overall had a great holiday.

  The Yorkshire Dales are absolutely beautiful and Thorns is set in the perfect location with beautiful countryside views from every room & yet just a 5 minute walk into the pretty market town of Hawes. Both the front and back gardens get the sun which was an excellent bonus. Thorns is traditionally furnished and has everything you need to live comfortably and to cook at home, however, is so close to Hawes that you can easily eat out if you want to and Hawes has some great pubs and eateries. We eat in The White Hart Inn, 1668 Restaurant and Board Inn all very different types of cuisine to one another and all very delicious. We had an amazing holiday, everything about it was perfect ... we will return.
