Had a really good experience with 7 of my friends here. We booked a 6 bed room and a sleeping pod. Both were clean and all the common toilets were accessible at all times without any need of waiting. The staff were friendly and welcoming! Would recommend if you wanna hike catbells or castle crag.

Friendly staff from the beginning of the stay till the end. I had a chance to buy a Gluten-free products and enjoy a Gluten-free breakfast. Facilities were good. Dry room. Location: easy to reach other locations of interests.

Road to the hostel was very narrow and with some pots.

"Favourite YHA"

8.0

Staff excellent, location perfect. Bar great and cosy.

It's a yha so you know what to expect. This one is getting a little tired but we don't mind that. Be nice if they had a little fire or something in the main room as its not as cosy as the bar area.
