About the host

Hosted by Gary and Samantha Easom

Host profile image
Gary Easom; Software Engineer, I love the outdoors and walking, particularly the Yorkshire Dales. Having travelled around the country and living for a time in Europe (employment) we settled back in Nottingham, close to family, with our 3 young kids.

Samantha Easom; accounts, very busy mum of 3 and the one with financial brains!

Why they chose this property

I spent many family holidays, as a child, camping in the Yorkshire Dales, in the Wensleydale and Swaledale areas (parents inspired by watching All Creatures Great and Small!), I loved the outdoors and grew very fond of the Dales, they had an almost 'magical' quality. I have many fond memories of times spent in the Dales.

20 years later and wanting to introduce my children to the Dales and trying desperately to create some sort of pension, we looked for a property in the Wensleydale area. Yarn House had just come on the market and it was perfect, overlooking waterfalls, spacious, an existing holiday cottage since the 1970's, well located in the center of the Dales and a few minutes walk from lots of good pubs, shops and restaurants in Hawes. Gayle is perfect, situated just off the Pennine way, a picturesque village, and a mile or so from Hawes.

What makes this property unique

Yarn House has amazing views, a beautiful setting and features on many postcards and book covers about the Dales. It has a great location, close to Hawes and a wealth of pubs, restaurants and delightful shops. The cottage overlooks the waterfalls which, depending on the season, are a wonderful play area for children (my children loved the beck, they were happy to play and explore all day) or a nice setting to enjoy a glass of wine or a beer. During periods of heavy rain, the beck becomes a, quite spectacular, raging torrent!
