We have stayed at the Hawes site on 4 occasions over the last 2 years. The wardens on duty have always been extremely pleasant and helpful on arrival and during our stay. High standard facilities which are spotlessly clean. The site is a five minute walk into Hawes where there are plenty of pub grub places to eat . It is also a 15 minutes walk from the Stonehouse Hotel which does a gourmet 5 course meal for £37. Everything on the menu is locally sourced and homemade including treacle bread and ice creams. The staff are really friendly and even offered to give us a lift home. We have done several walks - the touristy ones into Hawes, and the Wensleydale Creamery, which is a must; and also surrounding villages which are served by a local bus route if you don't want to do a circular walk. There are also several walks to Hardraw or Aysgarth falls; and  into the remote hills which are varying lengths. A 20 minute hike from the site will get you above the village of Hawes to stunning views. A brilliant location for a weekend or a two week break.
