The Board Inn

Pros: The bloke in charge very friendly, our room was a good size and very light.

Cons: Didn't rate the breakfast, oily and could taste the oil. Did like the selection of cold offerings.

Pros: Lovely place to stay and the staff were really helpful.

Lovely stay and excellent base for the Yorkshire Dales.

Pros: This place was actually closed as a pub when we went in February 2026, but still offers good value B&B. A sign on the door directs you to the Cocketts Hotel just next door, where you collect your keys. Breakfast was served at the Cocketts also, and it was a lovely cooked breakfast. I think we had the Board Inn to ourselves whilst there, as we appeared to be the only guests staying then. We had a lovely quiet room at the back, with a kettle etc for teas and coffees. We visited the Wensleydale Creamery, just a short walk away, and bought some cheeses.

Cons: There was really nothing major to report here. For the price we paid, we got excellent value for our money. Hawes is a lovely village and this place is ideal for setting off. Bus stop just outside, and plenty of shops to buy stuff including sandwiches etc. The Crown Inn, another pub just next door, was open for business but sadly no food on a Monday and Tuesday. The Fountain pub nearby is a good place for beers and meals next to a cosy fire. Parking might be an issue on Tuesdays, as it's their Market Day.

Nice 2 night break in the beautiful dales.

Pros: Lovely room, great breakfast and excellent staff. Emma was so friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the Board Inn only opens Fri-Sat so we stayed next door in the Cocketts Hotel who have an agreement with the Board, but this was no problem. As the Cocketts hotel doesn't do evening meals we went to the Crown pub which is only 2 doors up where they do decent evening meals.

Cons: All ok.

Excellent Anniversary stay, cosy and affordable

Pros: Great location for visiting Hardraw Falls and Aysgarth Falls for 10th wedding anniversary. Cosy warm pub, reasonable prices and helpful, pleasant lady behind the bar. Rooms clean and warm. Great hub to explore the Dales and a further 3/4 on your doorstep! Oh and breakfast included is lovely!

Cons: Loved everything, shower is great just not much room to manoeuvre with the shower curtain up against you as the shower head is adjacent to the curtain over the bath.

Well done Cocketts!

Pros: I loved the professional, but friendly approach, very welcoming, and informative. Great location, definitely will book again!

Cons: There wasn't anything I could find fault with, it was a 10 out of 10 for me. There's nothing I could criticise, and its not very often I find that!

Great Stay

Pros: Greeted with a warm welcome and a good laugh. Room was a good size , plenty of storage , tea coffee and biscuits. En suite bathroom. My wife is Gluten Free and there was a separate table with toaster. Bread , cereals etc. not seen that before in a B&B. Highly recommend

Pros: Very comfy and relaxing room in excellent situation in the centre of Hawes. Decent beer and a lovely open fire in the bar. Excellent breakfast next door. Will go back on next road-trip.

Cons: TV remote not remoting !

Perfect weekend stay.

Pros: Very friendly welcome from Julia, the room met our expectations for a typical pub bed & breakfast. We would stay again.

Hawes little gem

Pros: Everything. From the moment we stepped into the pub Julia looked after us. The Standard double room was warm, very clean and had everything we needed. Tea/Coffee bits, hairdryer, bath/shower, tray for mucky walking boots. Breakfast is served at the hotel next door, literally a 30 second walk, selection was so good and the full English was lovely and filling. Again the team couldn't do enough and were so warm and friendly. The Board Inn is in the heart of Hawes and central to great walks in all directions. Parking is available directly outside the pub, but if all spots are taken there is parking available across the road. Lovely little bargain of a place.

Cons: Nothing!
