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 😊

Autumn break
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

Quiet Walking Retreat
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.
