Well all I can say is massive thanks to Helene for her amazing advise on our purchase of the sheepskin rugs. They fit perfectly on our rattan furniture.

Reviewed By sharpG - Leeds, United Kingdom
Quite unusual to review an antique shop, its a shop really and not a tourist attraction! This is an excellent old school antique shop always well stocked with oak and country furniture at affordable prices. A genuine and friendly owner makes this as good a reason as any to visit Hawes. 19th and 18th century country furniture, slip ware, collectables and decorative objects.

Yet again, another treasure we stumbled across on our travels! Warm welcome, free tastings and reasonably priced hot drinks served in style with a smile. Needless to say we left with some unusual preserves that will be a welcome addition to both the breakfast table and the after dinner cheeseboard!
