We have just returned after having our caravan in Hawes on a seasonal pitch. Whilst the weather was terrible some of the wettest weather we have had in over 100 years we were able to use it as a get away for quite a few weekends where we were pitched was above the flood level. The village of Hawes has a lovely variety of shops, pubs and restaurants all dog and family friendly. The feeling we got in the village was one of a community and whenever we went into any shops we were made to feel very welcome. As for the site the facilities were clean and functional, plenty of hot water for the showers. The wardens who were on site even though they were temporary were as helpful as any wardens we have met in our time as caravan club members and did an amazing job against the toughest of environments. We would love to return to Hawes in the summer and am going to try very hard to get a seasonal pitch there next year.
