Though a 5-8 minute walk into the centre of Coniston, the location is good! Draws under beds to lock precious items away (BYO lock). Warm, clean.

We LOVED our stay here & wish we could have stayed longer. The staff are so lovely - helpful & friendly but not pushy. The efforts to increase biodiversity & attract wildlife are gorgeous. The kitchen is very good, although sometimes a bit small. The area is packed full of beautiful places to explore. And the local pub is so friendly too

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.
