Fabulous stay!
This is our 2nd visit to this site. This time we stayed on a fully serviced pitch. Only downside was our water connections and pipes for in and out were just a tad too short. We resolved this by putting the pipes underneath the caravan.
Everything about the site is outstanding. The location is perfect with a 5 minute walk to the centre of Hawes. There are 4 pubs in Hawes all with a good choice of real ales. There is a spar for any groceries and a good choice of shops selling clothes, outdoor gear, antiques, delicatessens and much more. The fish and chip shop/cafe is excellent. We walked to the Wensleydale creamery to sample their cheese and came away with a bagful of various flavours.
There's a nice 3/4 mile walk to Hardraw Force waterfall which is through the Green Dragon pub. I understand why it's called that. The woman serving drinks was definitely the Green Dragon. Her customer service skills were hilarious. Someone entered to ask if they were still serving food. She said "why do you think people are eating?" HA! HA! We asked if we could just go look at the waterfall she said "no it's closed" there were no smiles, or please, or thankyou's.
Despite that we will definitely return. There are so many lovely walks and lots of lovely villages around there. Also, ideal for the three peaks. We walked Whernside on Friday afternoon and it was lovely.
