The beautiful interior and the quality of the fixtures, fittings and decor. The beds were very comfortable.

We would have preferred wine glasses rather than champagne flutes, which were a bit smaller than we are used to. Also in the lounge, we found the swivel/rocking chair difficult to balance on and the 2 seater sofa wasn't very comfortable for people in their 70's This meant there weren't enough comfortable seats for our party of 7, so we spent a lot of time in the kitchen, chatting around the table.

Steppe Haugh is a fantastic property ideally located for Hawes and surrounding villages. Two hundred yards to pubs and restaurants whilst being quiet even though its next to the road. The accommodation was spotless, well appointed with everything you need and much more - all top quality! As it was New Year, we did not use the garden but inside, the property was tastefully decorated for Christmas and had a nice log burner and very comfortable seating. We were able to park 3 cars at the rear and one at the front. We would definitely return.

Only small issue was the sound of the heat pump on the roof, which in zero temperatures was working hard and did disrupt sleep for one of our group of 7.
