The hostel is quite far away from Bowness, only car could be accessible to there, but the biew is breathtaking, and the facilities are more than enough
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.
Brilliant value for money, if your open minded about sharing bathrooms and cooking facilities and even bedrooms if your happy to bunk then this is brilliant. We loved this stay and the hotel was superb and excellent location
