What an amazing hostel! Perfect location and lovely building, The panelled lounge full of lovely leather sofas, books and a roaring fire was particularly fine. Staff were friendly and accommodating, the beer was good and the full english veggie breakfast the ideal precursor to some stiff walking.

Incredible place to stay

We stayed here to climb Scafell Pike the next day. The staff were incredible friendly and helpful with great advice on the routes to take. The breakfast was delicious and exactly what we needed before the hike up the mountain. The location is absolutely stunning as well. Couldn't recommend more.

Fantastic setting, and a building full of character. Staff were very helpful, breakfast was basic but substantial. I'm quite tall and so struggle with YHA beds generally , but had a decent night's sleep. The manager's two collies in the hostel were gorgeous.

Incredible hostel

Stayed for one night and the hostel was incredible. The staff are incredibly friendly and the local area is lovely. Highly recommended for walkers/hikers or a stop off in the Lakes. The breakfast was brilliant and at a reasonable price. The rooms were also fantastic - way above your average hostel.

Beautiful views

As the title says... beautiful view over wastwater lake... with easy access to start of scafell pike!! And if you go for a leisurely stroll next to the lake, you might find a swing that can create sooo much fun!!! Iphone was unable to connect to the cloud, so no mobile phone to share the beautiful views with!! Overall very pleasant stay!!!
