The site is superbly situated to enable you to walk all week without travelling far. The site is quiet and the staff extremely helpful and welcoming. We stayed on one of the service pitches which is apart form the main site and a particularly quiet spot on the site. With two very young children Hawes does not particularly cater for last minute shopping for emergency supplies as the two small supermarket shops close at 6.30! Best make sure you are well supplied with children. That aside it is not the fault of the site and we will return here as soon as possible.
