The property is beautifully decorated and has absolutely everything you could wish for by way of amenities. Specialists with cranes were called in to clear the garden. "There were some interesting ferns left behind, some ramonda and a juniper tree, and some beautiful cushion saxifrage, but not as much as you would think," says Angela. Boasting period features throughout, a woodburning stove and great proximity to a range of attractions, Manor House welcomes up to eight guests to enjoy a peaceful getaway in North Yorkshire.

Nestled in amongst the pretty surroundings of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in Bainbridge near Hawes, discover this Grade-II listed four-bedroom cottage, Manor House. 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.

Within accessible reach is also Ingleborough Cave, Malham Cove, Kilnsey Park and Scaleber Force Waterfall, all offering an abundance to see and do! 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. 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! 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." 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.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'. In the homely sitting room, catch up on your favourite shows or relish a movie night on the Smart TV, if you’re seeking some much-needed alone time, an additional wood pannelled snug provides the perfect spot to get lost in a good book as the log burner roars away. The garden was listed in 1988 and since then, its owners have raised the funds to restore the garden it to its former glory. Directions Warm, comfortable, spacious, comfy beds, great decor and a very well equipped kitchen. Lots of walks from the house and lots to do nearby. Some reviewers have mentioned the traffic noise, but we didn't find this intrusive. We would love to return. There's lots of money out there, lots of grants, but it's quite soul destroying trying to get it. After all, who's going to give money to an individual to do up their garden?"
