Having to go home

Everything FOOD Was delicious

Stayed in August 2025

No parking on property but a car park just 1 min walk away is fine, only a problem on a busy Saturday mid day when it gets full.

The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Facilities were great and the beds were comfy. Felt very homely, and the views are 10/10. Short walk to local pub and 10 min drive to amenities in Ambleside. Perfect stay!

The dorm was noisy but that was no fault of the establishment.

A delightful find. Wonderful staff with a real community-minded approach. I didn't order the breakfast but when I saw it, I wished I had.

Due to the poor transport network, I don't think it was the right choice for commune to my destination.

The staff were fantastic. Very informative and helpful. The hostel was in good condition and clean.

A full six-man room with everyone's luggage felt rather cramped, however it's to be expected really in a busy hostel. Very pleasent nonetheless.

Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Room was very clean, wash facilities were immaculate and felt very modern. Great social atmosphere between all the guests. Breakfast, tea and coffee facilities were very useful to have and of a very good standard.

The light in the bathroom turned on automatically when entering it and shined in the room in the middle of the night when everyone was trying to sleep.

Nice and clean hostel close to beautiful hiking.

It was nice comfortable place

The bunk beds aren’t super comfortable, but you know what you are signing up for. Overall, i just feel it’s a shame I didn’t get to stay for longer than 2 nights!

Andy and Charlie were incredibly friendly and helpful. Felt very welcome and at home here. Facilities have everything you need, wifi is pretty good for the isolated location, and the breakfast is top notch too!

I really enjoyed the area the accommodation is in. It's very peaceful and it gives you the opportunity to be away from most tourists. It might seem a bit hard to get to but the bus stop is really close and therefore is even without a car reachable. There are so many interesting walks nearby that this is also not something to worry about. The people that run the accommodation do it with their hearts and you can feel that these people put their whole heart in it. The rooms might not be the most modern but there are definitely clean and comfortable.

There were no lockers or anywhere to store bags/clothes so we had to put them under the beds. It said free parking but you had to pay at a nearby car park. Thankfully someone gave me a ticket they no longer needed so I didn't have to pay.

Excellent facilities, nice and clean, beds comfortable. Perfect location.

Parking on site is very limited, we needed to use the national trust parking, and pay. Beds are slightly small for taller travellers. Hostel is not staffed until 5 pm

Great location, clean facilities, super friendly staff. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Village pub nearby. Extraordinary surroundings of natural beauty.

Nothing, it was great.

The staff were really lovely and so hard working, they made everything so easy and had lots of great advice. The check in proces was easy, the hostel is in a spectacular location great for big walks. I am looking forward to visiting again and making the most of the home cooked dinner and board games and bar!
