Disappointed to discover on arrival that the evening meal and breakfast were not available for purchase as i hadn’t been informed by Expedia that the main kitchen was being refurbished..
Other than that, I had a lovely stay, fabulous hostel in beautiful surroundings with welcoming helpful staff 😊
Accomodation was very decent and just as expected. Friendly staff and just about everything needed for an enjoyable stay.
Breakfast was a little slow waiting on just about everything and the food and drinks could do with labelling but I wouldn't knock it on one experience. It could be fine every other day. The location is great and you get what you pay for so no complaints and a happy customer
Fabulous staff couldn’t have asked for more they were courteous helpful informative friendly and professional a real asset. Great facilities which were clean and well looked after. Very comfortable and welcoming lounge on our floor clean and spacious room. Warm and friendly dining area good food well presented and maintained and well organised the hostel is perfectly placed for views lakes hills and village has good cafes and pubs. Exceeded my expectations hope to return soon
Beautiful location along Buttermere Lake. The drive from Cockermouth was exceptional beautiful views of lakes and mountains. It felt as is time slowed as I drove along meandering, avoiding the sheep grazing along the road. This is a place I will visit again.
The hostel itself is perched on a hill overlooking the lake. Like any hostel the sleeping dorms are functional and adequate. However the staff and the broad wealth of people you meet there make the holiday complete.
Excellent stay at the youth hostel. A very warm welcome was received after a long day running in the Lake District. Great selection of food and drink with really friendly staff. Rooms comfortable and clean.
