YHA Hawes

We stayed at YHA Hawes for new year and it was amazing. The facilities are perfect for a large group with loads of kids. Plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen is perfect for cooking in large quantities. We'll definitely be back, maybe in the summer so we can explire the village.

From the minute we arrived at YHA Hawes, our group of 6 were welcomed by Eric who really did give us a warm and friendly welcome. We had cycled to Hawes and so made use of the bike storage facilities at the YHA too. Our party had 2 en-suite bunk rooms and one double which had shared bathroom facilities. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and the en-suite showers were very new and exactly what we wanted after a long day cycling. We took a recommendation from Eric to have dinner at The Crown pub, just down the road. Food & service were great and again, the staff there were very helpful and friendly.|We had breakfast at the hostel and it was superb. 5 of us had a full English breakfast which was plentiful and delicious. Toast, cereal, tea & coffee were also available. I had a great continental breakfast which included a croissant, a small pain au chocolat & a brioche bun. I also had a small serving of fresh fruit and yoghurt along with some porridge. Well worth the £11 and it set us up for our 50 mile cycle home.|As the weather was poor, we asked if we could stay a little longer in the common room after we checked out. It wasn’t a problem. This place really represents great value. All the staff who we encountered were so helpful. We all had a great stay and would return again without hesitation. It was actually my third visit.

Same good experience that you receive at other YHAs. It's in a good location so you can walk into the village easily, there's a small car park too, and the inside was nicely decorated. Rooms were basic, but that's why you stay in a hostel! Nice views too.

We had a lovely stay in Hawes Hostel with our two and five year old boys. The hosts were really welcoming and informative, making sure that we had everything we needed. Our room was clean and spacious (enough room for a travel cot in the 6 person family room) and the kitchen was really well equipped with plenty of room in the fridges/for storage. The hostel was quiet at night and the bathrooms were clean. |There is a handy footpath that takes you over a few fields at the back and pops out at the Wensleydale Creamery. |I left my trainers in the room and Dave contacted me to let me know and even posted them back to me the following day!

Great hostel really friendly service and we had a family room that was really spacious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was great and would highly recommend. Drying room, self catering kitchen and nice comfy lounge all available at the site. Parking was tight as the other reviews have noted.

As another reviewer said, this is how all hostels should be. I had a really comfortable room with a double bed, and the food I had - from an extensive menu - was superb value for money. Top class breakfast, too.|Really friendly and helpful staff. I stupidly left a phone charger behind and when I phoned them they had it ready behind the counter and were happy to post it on to me in Alston. I didn't have a better stay anywhere, all along the Pennine Way .. thank you, and well done!

Nice and all, but a little disappointed by how not-warm the showers were upon arrival and felt a bit spenny at £73 with no breakfast

The hostel is very homely with lots of books, a cosy seating area and a guitar! The guys who work there are really friendly and the food is delicious. The views are stunning and all the facilities are super clean. This is how all hostels should be.
