Guest Reviews

gary (8/5): - Room was basic but functional. It lived up to my expectations. Ideal for an overnight stay. Shower was warm and practical.
Laura (8/5): - Bed was very comfortable, room very basic
Anite (8/5): - We stayed in a tent, it was amazing
Anthony (10/5): - The parking for motorbikes was not great, As it was all gravel
Geoffrey (6/5): - Generally as expected. The beds and linen could have been more comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. A television lounge for adults would be good.
Antonio (8/5): - The location is nice and the staff is friendly and helpful .cool place to enjoy your holidays. But one thing I didn’t like about the property is that the basic amenities like towels were charged for because people spend so much money on the accommodation and I feel that it was not fair.
Junaid (4/5): - I loved that it was safe and it was a lovely hotel. I did not like it was so much noise at night. the bathroom and the showerroom was not clean.
T A (8/5): Highly Recommended! - An excellent and very enjoyable stay in the heart of the Lake District, with a beautiful view over Esthwaite Water. Ample free parking. Within easy reach of Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere, Coniston, Tarn Hows, and so much more! Staff were very welcoming and genuinely doing everything possible to ensure that you had a good stay. Only small issue was that Covid has closed down much of the communal areas, meaning that for a hostel it was particularly quiet, but this is entirely outside the control of the hostel. I would not hesitate to book again when next visiting the Lake District.
Jayne (6/5): - The actual house of yha is beautiful. Set in lovely gardens. The room we had slept 3. Very small and cramped.
Matthew (8/5): Decent YHA, but people sharing room incnsiderate - Great service from staff - very friendly, welcoming, quick check in. Beds comfy as any other YHA beds. Plug sockets next to beds with USB sockets also, which makes life easier. Only downside was people coming in drunk at 12/1/2 (three separate waves) and not being courteous enough to keep quiet. There was some broken glass on the driveways the following morning though this didn't affect us as we came/left by foot.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Check-out at 10am and check-in at 3pm is not acceptable.
Nilesh (10/5): Beautiful Location ! - Beautiful location, lovely people and excellent facility for the price we paid !
Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice scenic view from the room depend on your allocation. Could provide map for joggers in the hostel and the distance from key location. e.g. point A to B. Could provide farm touring arrangement with landlord around the Hostel.
Trevor (8/5): Value for money - Good location, nice staff and clean accommodation.
John (8/5): Pleasant - Good stay, excellent surroundings and views. Typical hostel type accommodation.
CHRIS (4/5): Herd of elephants - Room very very hot just managed to cool down and nodding off when what sounded like a herd of elephants above my room arrived at 12 of clockmidnight.Honestly thought the ceiling was going to collapse.
greg (4/5): hotel - no space in the room, but the location was excellent
C (8/5): In the hills near the Lake - The rooms and facilities were nice, though my bed did not stop creaking every time I moved and I move a lot. And there were so many families here during this time, so the place was louder than expected.
JASBINDER (10/5): - It was the first time we have stayed in a hostel so was a bit unsure of what it was going to like. Everything was great looking forward to going g again next year
Luiz (8/5): Wonderful view - Nice hostel, excellent cost benefit. Amazing kitchen, nice room and bathroom but don´t expect too much luxury. The views are definitely worthwhile. Staff was really cool and easy to park.
Vivien (10/5): - Lovely staff. Excellent breakfast. Friendly environment. Peaceful setting. Gorgeous grounds......house had interesting history
Declan (10/5): Excellent value for money - Excellent value for money with good facilities and a scenic location
Rachel (8/5): - Plenty of parking. Good kitchen.
