Blades Cottage is a luxury cottage with character, comfort, and a quiet setting near Hawes. It’s a restored 1866 stone cottage with a summerhouse, plus a Visit England 4 stars and Gold award. You also get breath-taking views across the Yorkshire Dales countryside.

Yes, it’s ideal for that. You can head out into the Yorkshire Dales for a day on the hills, by the water, or spotting wildlife, then come back to a peaceful cottage at the end of it. It suits guests who want easy access to the outdoors and a calm place to rest.

Couples, families, and small groups all enjoy staying here. The cottage works well for a quiet escape, a special holiday, or a relaxed break with plenty of countryside around you. If you want comfort, privacy, and a beautiful Dales setting, Blades Cottage is a lovely choice.

We ask all guests staying at the cottage not to arrive before 16.00pm and leave before 10.00am. This gives the cleaner plenty of time for professional cleaning and turnaround before the next guests arrive at the cottage.
