Sweet old building with a great kitchen, or reasonably priced restaurant if you don't want to cook. The rooms were basic but absolutely did the job. The view out the back is beautiful.

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.

The location of this YHA was outstanding- surrounded by nature with lots of walks in the area and a short drive to Wast Water, a beautiful lake! The staff were super helpful and friendly, and helped with any questions I had. I wish I stayed a few more nights!

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.
