A perfect first time stay

We stayed here for the first time for 4 nights on the 21st of June with our 16 month old grandson and although a little more expensive than other sites it was nice to have the lovely surroundings. The site is immaculate and spotless. The staff are very helpful and extremely polite. Be aware that at the entrance to the site there is a working farm so if you choose a pitch that backs onto this you will through no fault of the club hear farmyard noises of which in my opinion is all part of the outdoor life, but I realise it’s not for everyone. There is very little traffic movement and the Amy are absolutely pristine and you won’t be disappointed

A beautiful site in a beautiful part of the world

Our first stay at Hawes & can’t wait to return. The site is immaculate. We had only booked 2 nights, wish we had stayed longer. A nice walk into town with plenty of independent shops. The weather was glorious which really added to our stay.

Great location

This is a lovely site. Initially we chose a pitch at the bottom of the site when a noisy motorcycle went past on the road just outside site which made us aware of how near we would have been to the road. We chose an alternative pitch and any traffic on the road didn't bother us at all. Love to see the rabbits and occasional duck and pigeon on the grass areas next to our pitch, as well as lots of wild birds in the trees. We did have a little issue with small flies coming in the van, but they didn't bite. The mirrors in the washing cubicles are positioned under windows and therefore the top is only about 5' high. In a previous site the mirrors were larger and fixed on the side walls and this for me was much better. Overall, it's a great site and we would come here again.

Great Site within walking distance of Hawes

First time to Hawes Site and was very impressed. On arrival warden very friendly and helpful. Having read previous reviews found it strange about people commenting about farm noise given the size of the site and how many pitches are no-where near the farm - so surely if you dont want to listen to noise associated with a working farm then chose a pitch away from farm!! No issues with TV or mobile signal. Toilet and shower facilities very good. This will be one of the largest sites we have stayed on but were impressed with how quiet the site was. Short walk into Hawes which is a lovely little town with plenty cafes and couple of museums to walk round. Loved the site and would definitely return.

Great site in a lovely location

We stayed here as part of a Dales tour for walking. Finding the site easy easy and it's well signposted off the main road through the town The welcome was really good with the site manager out on the entrance road checking us all in and helpfully advising us which pitches were free. Once parked up its back up to the office to pay and get the local information. The site is well laid-out, on two arms either side of the access road with the services roughly in the middle. For the dog owners a huge meadow is on the right-hand arm for exercising. Services in the washrooms were modern, plentiful and very clean. The only slightly annoying thing was the keys to get into the washrooms, which I forgot a few times. Not sure why these are needed given the site is on the edge of Hawes. There is a bit of farm noise from next door but it's a working farm and you get used to it quickly! The centre of Hawes is barely 5 minutes away with plenty of cafes and pubs. As its a walking holiday for us we left the van parked up and spent most of our time walking out across several days, the attraction is that you are straight out onto the fells. Hawes is set along a narrow flat valley with fells either side and to the west so the was plenty of good walking. only a mile or so away was Hardraw Falls which is well worth a visit. We did have a main meal out a few times at the some great places the White Hart and the Wensleydale Creamery restaurant were great. Sitting at the van in the late afternoons with a cup of tea and a spot of wine was super as the site was so quiet but full of wildlife, especially the song thrushes. While the site was generally full it did not feel crowded at all. There is so much to see and do on the doorstep of the site. We'll be back.

Best of British

This is a lovely site, very close to the attractive town of Hawes. Mostly peaceful but next to a working farm which I love but might not be for everyone! It’s a well kept site with great facilities which are immaculate. The team are very friendly and helpful. We also had an extra added surprise as part of stay this time over the jubilee weekend. The team organised a afternoon tea for all guests which included cakes, tea, coffee and fizz. Well done to the team for making this a special visit which we weren’t expecting. We are looking forward to visiting again soon. Thanks for your hard work.

5 star site!

One of our favourite sites, well kept, spotlessly clean facilities, and just a short walk from the lovely dales village of Hawes. We've visited this super site many times before and always enjoyed our stay, this time was made even better as the team had organised a "Right Royal Tea Party" to celebrate the Queen's jubilee. As well as working hard to keep the site and facilities in tip top condition, the team had put a great deal of effort into the party. Tea, coffee and cakes were served as well as champagne to toast the Queen. Human bingo, raffle, something to keep the kids entertained, The Proms singalong, and even a fun event for the dogs. It really made the day extra special and we hope our thanks get passed on to the most friendly site team we have come across. Thank you, we can't wait to return (Lucy is looking forward to it too!)

Excellent site

We have stayed here many times before and always love our stay here however this time was a little different as we stayed during the Queens Jubilee and as always we was greeted with a smile at reception we were also offered tickets for a on site Jubilee celebration numbers were limited, now I don’t normally go for this sort of thing as we have teenage kids and wasn’t sure if it was for us but decided to accept the offer just to add these tickets were free and only used to make sure of the numbers they were catering for. I after say i am really glad i did accept the offer as it was great fun everyone was well catered for with coffee and tea plus delicious cakes and some celebratory fizz the staff worked hard to make sure everyone had drinks also worked hard to entertain us, now i am really sorry I didn’t get the lady’s name but i am sure she will know who i mean she was great at entertaining us and made sure everyone joined in with the singing and also human bingo fun was had by all and well done to all the team. This site is one of the best and also has plenty to offer close by good quality pubs serving food or just drinks, excellent walks for all to enjoy regardless of your abilities, and excellent views of the country side we can’t wait for our next stay in a few months.

Lovely Site

The only downside was we only had 1 night at this beautiful site. The whole site is very well kept and lovely facilities. Nice greeting on check in which was busy and the warden greeted everyone on the drive and offered all the information required to find your pitch - very well done. Pitch was level and a great size. Easy walk into Hawes takes about 5 minutes and a really nice walk (about 1/2 an hour) to Hardraw Force Waterfall - well worth a visit - the walk over the fields is lovely and well marked and easy under foot - the pub after the waterfall is a nice stop off too. Will definitely return.

Lovely site, noisy farm dogs

Currently staying on this site situated in very close to the market town of Hawes. The site is well laid out with many varied pitches. Excellent toilet block, lots of well placed water/waste/bins facilities. The dog walk is huge and well kept. As others have said it is a credit to the wardens and the club. The site is adjacent to a working farm whose owners have dogs kenneled in the barn. They bark, a lot, at all times of the day and night. If we visited again I would endeavour to get a pitch as far away from the farm as possible. Alternatively, use ear plugs so you can get a decent nights sleep. I know its a moan and I know it is beyond the control of the club but forewarned is forearmed. The area is beautiful and the site makes an excellent central base for exploring. There are many picturesque walks, one in particular leads to Hardforce where you'll find a very pretty waterfall and the welcoming Green Dragon Pub that serves excellent food and ale.
