It's perfectly located to access all that the Dales has to offer and I'd highly recommend a stay here to groups of friends and families alike!
If you are thinking of getting the extended family together - this is a wonderful place to do it. Already recommended it to friends.Although James died in 1869, his company flourished as it became fashionable to create Alpine corners in the grounds of stately homes. The company's best-known construction is a 30ft high replica of the Matterhorn mountain in a garden in Henley - the late Beatle George Harrison was its last owner. The plan was for Peter to continue with the computers while Angela did an upholstery qualification to further her hobby of antique furniture while running a B&B while looking after the two children. Within accessible reach is also Ingleborough Cave, Malham Cove, Kilnsey Park and Scaleber Force Waterfall, all offering an abundance to see and do! The hamper, which was left out for us, was such a nice gesture, too. We stayed in the gothic room, and the bed was so comfy!
Sayer-Graham was also a keen horticulturist. He planted fields of tulips and daffodils as well as at least two plantations of trees around Aysgarth, and set up his own nursery next door to his home, Heather Cottage. It is extraordinary, one of only a handful of gardens in the country which is Grade II listed. Whether it is beautiful is a matter for debate once you've had the full tour, but it is definitely arresting and awe-inspiring. Utterly extraordinary. Completing the ground floor is a handy shower room where you can wind down for the day, or beat the queues of a morning. If you can tear yourself away, begin your adventures at Hardraw Force Waterfall, before heading to the Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes; here, you will also find plenty of pubs and restaurants so you can refuel before continuing on with your itinerary.
About the location
Hawes is a popular market town in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire and is regarded as one of the honeypot tourist attractions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Standing between Buttertubs and Fleet Moss, the town is an excellent centre for walking and touring Wensleydale and the adjoining dales of Swaledale, Cotterdale, Dentdale, Garsdale, Wharfedale and Chapel-le-Dale. Take a walk around the Hawes Town Trail, Millennium Walk, Pennine Way or along the River Ure, which is nearby. In 1998 Hawes was awarded the English Tourist Board Silver Award for the "Best Day Trip Out". Modern traffic has long replaced coaches and horse drawn wagons along its narrow streets, but market day (Tuesdays) in Hawes is as busy as ever, with a farmers’ auction attracting sheep farmers from all over the north of England. Traditional shops, cafés and inns now cater for a variety of Dales visitors as well as the local community. The award-winning Wensleydale Creamery, made famous by the animated Wallace and Grommit films, is now open to visitors so that they can see the famous cheese being made and sample the end product in a welcoming café. In the old station yard you will find the busy National Park Centre and Dales Countryside Museum. The Museum is home to the magnificent collection of Dales artefacts by the two great Dales historians and writers, Marie Hartley and Joan Ingilby. We've just received Listed Building consent to install Heritage wooden frame double glazing which should resolve any road noise concerns ,and keep us warm in the Dales winters , and this should be fitted by next year. On the A684 at the western end of Aysgarth village, about 200 metres before the Thornton Rust turning. Public access during daylight hours. Donations box. The first stage is learning to cope with what we have now got," she says. "I have got to get through a whole year to see how the weeds come up and how the plants survive and to find out how time-consuming it is going to be." The Jauneikas stumbled upon the property in 1998. "We were following the dream," she says. "We both worked in computers, we were starting a family and we were asking ourselves 'where do we want to settle down'.
If you begin to feel sleepy, head to the first-floor bathroom to take an indulgent soak in the tub before choosing from one of four charming bedrooms to catch your beauty sleep in, including a king-size with its very own freestanding bath,a king ensuite, a double and a twin. It continues to be open to the public but with the request that social distancing is observed. The public enter at their own risk and it is unsuitable for disabled or wheelchair access due to the narrow and uneven paths and steps. Admission is free and there is a donation box near the entrance which is at the west end of Aysgarth village. The property is beautifully decorated and has absolutely everything you could wish for by way of amenities.John has been so enthusiastic from the start,” said Mrs Anderson. “But it is a big responsibility looking after it all the time. The people in Aysgarth have been so supportive.” Locally there must have been a large population of teenage lads with air rifles," says Angela, "because we keep finding decapitated gnomes everywhere." But no one was allowed inside to see what had been created. "Locals who remember Frank all say they were not welcome in his garden," says Angela. "People who were then children recall his wife rapping on the windows of Heather Cottage if they so much as touched the railings." Meanwhile, in Aysgarth, Frank Sayer Graham (1859-1946) was making money. He farmed silver fur rabbits in his purpose-built warren at Lady Hill just outside the village. He could kill a rabbit in Aysgarth at 9am and it would arrive, frozen, in London on the 4pm train. From there the fur would go to the great fashion houses of Europe - he is said to have supplied the last tsar of Russia with silver fur for a stole.
