I loved how relaxing and peaceful the hostel is. Fabulous views and scenery and lots of birds. The sound of the river and non-existent light polution made for a perfect getaway. Friendly staff and a bargain meal & dessert.

The staff were caring and helpful in an agreeable and sincere manner. The location is magnificent, situated at the forefront of Lake Windermere. I had a beautiful view of the lake from my dorm room window. The Waterhead Bus Stop is just a 3-minute walk away. Despite not being located on the main high street in Ambleside, this distance adds to its tranquility."

It is a wonderful hostel in a fantastic location. There are great facilities; a well equipped kitchen if you want to cook yourself or a restaurant that seemed reasonable but we didn't eat there. There is outdoor seating with a lovely view of the lake. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The shared bathroom was also clean and the shower was big. The staff were super welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. It is great value for money in this area!

The members of staff are just welcoming, helpful and lovely. The food is tasty and the facility is good enough. It’s also a good location for hikers. I was travelling solo to climb the Scafell Pike and met very nice people here, which made my journey special!

All hostels in Grasmere

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, free parking, well equipped kitchen *if a bit small for the amount of rooms* Staff super friendly. Would stay again but only short stays because you don't really sleep in a hostel. Met some strangers and still had a ball.

    Great location lovely setting. Great weekend. The only thing was the beds were not very comfortable I’m sure I paid £220 for 2 nights I just expected the beds/mattresses to be a bit more comfortable that’s all just being honest but I suppose it’s a hostel and not a 5 star hotel. 👍

    Excellent hostel. Everything was extremely clean, common spaces (2 self-catering kitchens, lounge) were great. Plenty of shared toilets/showers. Beds and pillows are very comfortable. It was very quiet during my stay. The staff were very friendly and gave good tips for hiking paths. Great location. I cannot recommend it enough.
