If you are thinking of getting the extended family together - this is a wonderful place to do it. Already recommended it to friends. We've just received Listed Building consent to install Heritage wooden frame double glazing which should resolve any road noise concerns ,and keep us warm in the Dales winters , and this should be fitted by next year. The plan was for Peter to continue with the computers while Angela did an upholstery qualification to further her hobby of antique furniture while running a B&B while looking after the two children. Within accessible reach is also Ingleborough Cave, Malham Cove, Kilnsey Park and Scaleber Force Waterfall, all offering an abundance to see and do! Sayer-Graham was also a keen horticulturist. He planted fields of tulips and daffodils as well as at least two plantations of trees around Aysgarth, and set up his own nursery next door to his home, Heather Cottage.

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! 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.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?" 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." 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.

Locally there must have been a large population of teenage lads with air rifles," says Angela, "because we keep finding decapitated gnomes everywhere."

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'. 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. The accommodation was really impressive, we loved the antique furniture and the decor in each room was all so tastefully chosen.
