  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.

  Very lovely, quirky little cottage that suited our needs perfectly.

  We liked everything about it and may even be back there next year. All the things we needed in the cottage were there along with some nice extras as well. A couple of thoughts - some more information might have been useful - we didn’t find the key to open the windows or the charging cable for the bathroom mirror light until Thursday? We couldn’t sort the heating; possibly it can’t be altered, adjusted?? it was frosty one morning yet still didn’t appear to be on - presumably it’s on a timer, &/or temperature control but knowing that would have made it all clear. It was all clean and ready for us arriving - the only thing we noticed was a ‘cat pee’ sort of smell from the kitchen area and although we tried, air fresheners, door open when possible we couldn’t get rid of it. Overall great, thanks

  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.

  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.

  Strange smell on entering cottage a mixture of damp and cat pee.

  All the carpet off cuts on floors are a trip hazard as is the carpet runner on the flagged floor in kitchen. Sofa too low down and uncomfortable. Claustrophobic toilet a very small enclosed space. Restricted height ceiling in parts upstairs. Outside space postage stamp size with too many steps leading up to it. Two key uncomfortable patio chairs very low down impossible to use. The double doors leading to patio only one opens leaving on small space to get through. The double bed is too low down and steps up to the bedroom. Totally disabled and elderly unfriendly property. Needs a warning for future guests.
