The Fountain Hotel

This hotel is very centrally located in the village of Hawes, so if Hawes is your destination it is perfect. However the rooms are very small, we had no hanging space in the room, a fan was provided as we were in the midst of a heatwave which was very welcome, otherwise the room would have been far too hot. The toiletries provided seemed fairly low budget. The breakfast was good and tasty, quality ingredients in the full English. The staff didn’t ooze the Yorkshire warmth and hospitality that I grew up with, no smalltalk over breakfast, just delivered to our table. Reception was relatively efficient. This hotel was reasonably OK for a night’s stopover, as we did, but I wouldn’t like to stay there for longer.

The rooms looked in need of an update or refurbishment. I was expecting a little more luxury for the price paid. I didn’t like the bedding, the pillowcases were not cotton and made my head feel hot and sweaty overnight.

Excellent location right in the middle of Hawes, I stayed here on my own during the Pennine way. Despite myself turning up wet and a bit muddy, the staff were very welcoming. The single room is the best I stayed in during my trip, and offers exceptional value for money. It's very well equipped, spacious, and comfortable, with generous extras like hot chocolate and a coffee pod machine. The breakfast was also the best of my trip, allowing me to pre-order the items I wanted the night before and having it all ready when I went to the dedicated breakfast room was lovely, and the food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Very happy with my stay here!

I had planned on eating dinner here, but it was not being offered on the day due to short staff. I was notified ahead of time, and was able to get food elsewhere

Utmärkt även om förhandsbokningen blev lite omständlig

Det borde vara ett val med repeterande frukost när man bor flera nätter

Good location Breakfast choice

The room was comfy and the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was very good indeed. The staff were friendly and helpful. Selection of ales in the bar was excellent!

Parking is extremely difficult…. but a friend had warned me about difficulties parking in Hawes. The weather was poor! lol
