A warm welcome awaits you at Fulford House! Formally the doctors residence with the surgery forming the main part of this gracious Georgian house built in 1832. Having previously been the Queens Hotel, the surgery was located here from 1928 up to 1993 when the new surgery was built on the opposite side of the road.This high-quality Georgian building is located in heart of the old market town of Hawes in Wensleydale. Boasting modern fixtures and fittings, The Old Surgery provides an excellent accommodation for friends, families or couples alike.

It is a very convenient location right near the centre of Hawes. The parking wasnât a problem as on street parking is free - we were able to park right outside most of the time. It was peaceful and a very comfortable and well equipped flat. The beds were very comfortable and the open plan living area attractive. A couple of points: when finding the flat it would have been helpful to have had a named sign outside We were surprised that there was no shower gel and soap in the bathrooms The round door handles are really difficult to turn, especially if, like me, a guest has arthritis. Itâs quite a serious point.

Very clean, quiet and homely. Had a lovely welcome basket. After a long walk it was nice to come back have a good shower and relax. We always got two car spaces right outside the door, the weekend got busier but no problems. Sat in the garden for drinks which was nice, could see the fish in the beck over the wall. The only thing was the position of the mirror in the bedroom with the bedstead, other than that, excellent
