We arrived at the site a little before 1p.m. and waited in a line to check in. I was surprised but happy to see two staff walking down the line checking us in to let us clear the road, a great start to our holiday. The site itself is clean and well kept with lots of Birds and rabbits around to keep you entertained. The major plus are that there are lots of walks around and a river for the dog to swim in, the village is a short walk away, there are many places to eat with lots of different cuisines and most of all, it is just so peaceful. We will definitely be back to Hawes when we start touring again next year, it's a marvellous base for visiting the dales or lakes and it is good for the soul to be amongst all of the nature and beauty.
