Herriot's In Hawes

About

Herriot’s in Hawes is a historic 120‑year‑old B&B tucked into the cobblestone centre of Yorkshire’s finest dales. Founded and run by Glenn and Liz Payne, it offers elegant en‑suite rooms, a warm family‑run atmosphere, and a legacy steeped in the beloved James Herriot stories that echo through the surrounding landscape. Couples, families, and solo travelers alike are drawn to the intimate charm, the complimentary breakfast made from local produce, and the iconic “Herriot’s Kitchen” jam and marmalade. Situated on the edge of the world‑renowned Pennine Way, the property serves as a natural gateway to the walking routes of Wensleydale and Swaledale, while the dark sky designation makes it an ideal spot for stargazing after a day of exploration. The B&B is more than a place to stay – it is a portal into the rural heritage of the Dales. Visitors can join the exclusive Herriots Way package, a 52‑mile walk that includes transport, packed lunch, and use of a thoughtfully crafted guidebook, or simply wander the nearby waterfalls, waterfalls, and historic villages. The welcoming staff ensure a relaxed, homely experience with the convenience of free Wi‑Fi, a hospitality tray, and a small kitchen that serves a hearty breakfast between 8.15 AM and 9.00 AM. With its prime location, historic architecture, and a commitment to authentic, locally sourced food, Herriot’s in Hawes stands out as an essential stop on any Yorkshire Dales itinerary, offering both adventure and comfort in one of England’s most picturesque settings.
