Just returned from our first trip to the Yorkshire Dales and 5 nights at Hawes. The site is absolutely perfect for walking the dales and taking in the breathtaking scenery. It is within walking distance to the town and the Wensleydale creamery which is a must. We were recommended The Crown PH for somewhere to eat but we didn't rate it. The menu is very basic and the food quality poor and in my opinion overpriced.  I can however recommend The Green Dragon in Hardraw. Proper home cooked food, excellent real ales and great value with friendly staff and the dogs are welcome. We ate here twice following a long walk across the fields and it was just perfect. If you're looking for a nice well kept site with fantastic walks and scenery then Hawes won't disappoint. The site is very well maintained and the wardens couldn't be more helpful. The games room was great for the rainy days too. Well done staff at Hawes and thank you we had a great time and will definitely be returning.
