Thanks for the great review. So glad you had a great stay and hope to see you again soon!
Beautiful property,amazing views,excellent location!
Staff super friendly and helpful 👌
Vegan options and very good location for anyone looking to climb Scafell Pike.
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.
Great view outside the hostel, it’s right at the lake and it is a breathtaking view. Staff that helped us out were very friendly. Excellent stay, excellent price and very good location from scaffel pike.
Thanks for the review, we do try to provide a homely environment, I guess this is made easy with the kerbside appeal of the building. The location speaks for itself!
Stayed for one night and the hostel was incredible. The staff are incredibly friendly and the local area is lovely. Highly recommended for walkers/hikers or a stop off in the Lakes. The breakfast was brilliant and at a reasonable price. The rooms were also fantastic - way above your average hostel.

Beautiful views
As the title says... beautiful view over wastwater lake... with easy access to start of scafell pike!! And if you go for a leisurely stroll next to the lake, you might find a swing that can create sooo much fun!!! Iphone was unable to connect to the cloud, so no mobile phone to share the beautiful views with!! Overall very pleasant stay!!!
The hostel is situated in a rather elegant and historic building. Wast Water is on the doorstep. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. A great stay.
