Bathrooms and bedrooms great, kitchen not great but adequate, dining room good with plenty of mats for the table, sitting room ok but furniture a bit shabby, utility room good with good quality white goods. Garden not good for children of all ages really, nowhere to kick a ball and so steep we couldn’t let the little ones play at all outside, not that we had the weather to do that anyway!! All in all a good house but could be better.

8/10 Good

Excellent bedrooms and living rooms, kitchen rather small and poorly designed for size of property.
Great for adults but not safe for small children and parking a nightmare because of slopes - should be mentioned in literature.

Great stay, with large family.
Amazing location. House very comfortable, lovely decor and rooms and plenty of bathrooms. Catherine made us feel very welcome, but not intrusive. The view from the house is incredible, sheep and lamas in the next field, fabulous walks on the doorstep and a lake for dipping in! Thank you Catherine. The Simpson Family.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Calvert

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Catherine Calvert, I'm a born and bred Yorkshire Lass. I'm passionate about providing our guests with a quality experience of our spectacular Yorkshire Dales, and supporting sustainable tourism, striving for a vibrant rural dales economy for future generations.
We deliver outdoor activities and educational opportunities from the farm and also run a small alpaca trekking business.

Why they chose this property

Hazel Brow House was a part of a small estate farmed by the family for the last 100 years. The house is amazing and was our family home for many years. It was originally a traditional 'long house' until 1860 when the spacious front rooms were added, leaving the cosy cottage for the farm workers and servants. In 2014 the property was refurbished and is now let as one house but the servants stairs, and special features still remain! It's a great house for family holidays, reunions, celebrations or corporate groups. There's a great restaurant at the village pub, loads of spectacular walks, waterfalls and scenic views.

What makes this property unique

The property stands on its own, enjoying magnificent views. It provides really comfortable, spacious, private accommodation with provision for cyclists and walkers including cycle racks and boot/coat drying facilities so you can make the most of the Dale.
