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 YHA network is perfectly suited for hikers and more. I was walking the Cumbria Way and decided to stay at this property. It offered everything I needed: a great location, a comfortable bed, access to clean bathrooms, friendly staff, and a self-catering kitchen. Simple, efficient, and exactly what a tired walker needs at the end of the day!

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.
