Lovely Autumn Stay
We really loved Yarn House! Three generations came to celebrate my mums birthday and we had the best weekend! Everything you need is there and the house itself is wonderful! The sound of the river was so relaxing and the short walk down into the village was very pleasant. We can’t wait to come back!

We were pleasantly surprised by how good the accommodation in Yarn House is: the property is fully-equipped with top-quality equipment and appliances throughout, and the preparation/cleanliness was excellent. We would definitely recommend this property to others, and hope to stay there again in the future.

Perfect location for exploring North Yorkshire
We had a fantastic week in Gayle. Parking was easy and only a few yards away from the front door. The house was comfortable and exactly as shown in the pictures. Hawes is literally a 10 minute walk away from downtown Hawes. There are several really delicious places to eat in Hawes. There are plenty of walks right from the house. And more places within a short drive to explore. We highly recommend this house.

About the host

Hosted by Gary and Samantha Easom

Host profile image
Gary Easom; Software Engineer, I love the outdoors and walking, particularly the Yorkshire Dales. Having travelled around the country and living for a time in Europe (employment) we settled back in Nottingham, close to family, with our 3 young kids.

Samantha Easom; accounts, very busy mum of 3 and the one with financial brains!

Why they chose this property

I spent many family holidays, as a child, camping in the Yorkshire Dales, in the Wensleydale and Swaledale areas (parents inspired by watching All Creatures Great and Small!), I loved the outdoors and grew very fond of the Dales, they had an almost 'magical' quality. I have many fond memories of times spent in the Dales.

20 years later and wanting to introduce my children to the Dales and trying desperately to create some sort of pension, we looked for a property in the Wensleydale area. Yarn House had just come on the market and it was perfect, overlooking waterfalls, spacious, an existing holiday cottage since the 1970's, well located in the center of the Dales and a few minutes walk from lots of good pubs, shops and restaurants in Hawes. Gayle is perfect, situated just off the Pennine way, a picturesque village, and a mile or so from Hawes.

What makes this property unique

Yarn House has amazing views, a beautiful setting and features on many postcards and book covers about the Dales. It has a great location, close to Hawes and a wealth of pubs, restaurants and delightful shops. The cottage overlooks the waterfalls which, depending on the season, are a wonderful play area for children (my children loved the beck, they were happy to play and explore all day) or a nice setting to enjoy a glass of wine or a beer. During periods of heavy rain, the beck becomes a, quite spectacular, raging torrent!
