Built as a house in the late 18th or early 19th century, Dales House in Market Place now offers bed and breakfast accommodation. The building has formerly been The Black Bull Hotel and the Black Bull Café. Constructed of coursed rubble stone under a stone slate roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1132002 Hawes is a small market town, in North Yorkshire, some 30 miles west of Northallerton. First recorded in the early 14th century, the town gained a market charter in 1699. The name is derived from the Old Norse word hals, meaning ’neck’ or ‘pass’. The town is a major producer of Wensleydale cheese.
