  Parking is awkward with no possibility of parking at the house other than briefly to load/unload.

  The closest parking is on street about 50m away. In busy summer season parking could be very difficult. The house is potentially nice but needs maintenance / upgrades. The large top floor bed is 2 single foam mattresses joined together. 1 is extremely soft. The top floor bathroom basin was blocked (the owner, when contacted about this, said there was nothing they could do about it to make this basin useable) and there was a strong drains smell often in this room making it mostly unusable. It would have been nice if a couple of bags of logs was provided for the log burner stove. Dining arrangements are poor. The table is tiny and there is very little space around it. The kitchen sink leaked so badly that water ran out of the cupboard beneath onto the kitchen floor. The boiler in a cupboard in one of the bedrooms is so noisy that it was impossible to sleep in there. The lounge radiator gave out very little heat meaning the room was always much colder than the rest of the house. Location is good just on the edge of Hawes a few minutes walk from the town centre.

  Booked for 5 nights the cottage is a beautiful building in a fantastic location.

  Some wonderful walks. Beds werre comfortable all bedding and towels provided. Has netflix, Internet etc. Lovely big powerful shower and Cottage lovely and warm. I would advise taking logs and firelighters. Cottage has alot of positives. Some negatives there was black mould on bedroom ceiling, backdoor and around windows. Dead insects stuck to blinds when you closed them. Dirty oven and trays. Did raise this with sykes and they asked for photos which we provided we were offered 20% refund of booking cost we either accepted or not as case would be closed. The owner was aware of tthe mould becsuse they had a leak in the roof but they didnt want to cancel our booking we were told. Shame there were these issues as the Cottage was a good size with lots of amenities. Dont be put off to book the cottage as its in a lovely area, a good size and lots of places to visit, these problems can be rectified hopefully.

  Old Station Farm is a spacious period property in beautiful surroundings that was well-suited to our family holday for 7 adults and 5 young children.

  The dining room is huge and the lounge has adequate comfortable seating. The family bathroom is better suited as an en-suite to one of the twin rooms which is how we used it but this left the children having to use the en-suites in their parents' rooms. The addition of a downstairs cloakroom would have made things easier, as would some more attention to detailed maintenance - we noticed doors that would not shut properly and taps that were very stiff to turn on and off. Outside there was adequate off-street parking for 5 cars. We made use of the BBQ and the garden was a useful play area for the children but again would benefit from some improved maintenance. All in all a very enjoyable stay but with a little effort could have been made even better.

  The house is charming, and we enjoyed our stay.

  The cottage is well-provided and attractively decorated, in good order. We would return. Hawes is a good base for a Dales holiday, and from Gayle it is a pleasant short walk into town. There are a few drawbacks to the house however: the small sitting room is over-cluttered with unnecessary items of furniture, whilst the throws used to cover rather weary sofas are tiresome; less furniture would make it possible to create a little dining area in the sitting room, by the front window - which we did, having temporarily made space. Parking is very problematical, also. Overall, we had a good holiday experience.

  It says on the listing that the fridge freezer has an ice dispenser, maybe that needs amending.

  The chandelier in the lounge didn't work but the side lights do. The house particularly the kitchen is very well equipped. The house is very clean and comfortable, the beds particularly comfortable. Hot tub area is a bonus for chilling in the evenings. It is a lovely house, not over looked. Malton close by, lovely market on a Saturday. Morrisons supermarket close by for a big shop. We were a party of 13 people from 65 years down to 3 years and we all had a lovely time. There is no downstairs toilet if that would be a problem with some people.
