The hostel is cozy, located close to the lake, and within a short drive or a hike from Scafell. The food at the restaurant is fantastic. There is also a kitchen which can be used to cook your own food. The staff are all very friendly.

The manager Donna is fabulous. She makes everyone feel individual and welcome. I would stay there again happily

Fantastic stay, beautiful location and super helpful staff.

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.

On the lake

Had a wonderful stay. Very scenic and peaceful

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 building in a great location

Very nice hostel in a very nice setting.

It was a great stay. Wonderful old building. Friendly, efficient staff. Liked the showers. The location by the lake is beautiful.

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.
