Super friendly staff, the girl on reception gave great advice. Had a bit of a mix up when booking and they very promptly got in contact and upgraded me to a bell tent which was so cool. Everywhere is really clean and amazing view. Would defo recommend.

A great stay. Didn’t hear much noise from other people which is nice. The kitchen doesn’t have a great selection of pans, and there didn’t seem to be any cooking oil which is commonly found in hostels. The bunk beds are quite short. I’m not very tall, but I was touching both ends of the bunk when lying down.

Great location with views of Lake Windermere from our room and from the back side of the hostel. Self-catering kitchen and good breakfast including vegan and vegetarian options. Plenty of car parking spaces for all guests. Very clean and hygienic kitchen and rooms.
