Everything was great. Clean and tidy. There was the most charming lady called Rebecca. So amazing and friendly and outstanding customer care. Alfie is also such a warm welcoming Scouser with a great character. There was another lady who had brown hair who worked on reception and breakfast, I think from Cheshire or somewhere. Unfortunately this lady was quite rude and abrupt. Made me not want to go up to reception when she was there. Not sure if she was having a bad day or a bad few days, but I reccomend she spend a day or two with the others and learn great customer care.
The YHA Ambleside sits on the shores of Lake Windermere in the Lake District. It offers a range of budget accommodations and a café serving local food.

It was clean and nice place I love the location and the staff but the it would have been really nice if you could avail staff to order food as you pay for everything anyways.. however rest was fine. Really countryside area feeling was great.

All the members of staff we spoke to were very helpful and friendly. There was plenty of space in the common areas to relax. We went for the Continental breakfast which was simple and cheap although we would have liked more options in terms of cereal and perhaps a yoghurt to go with granola.
Surrounded by lovely greenery in the heart of vibrant Keswick center, YHA Keswick is just a 10-minute walk from Lake Derwentwater. It features a restaurant and self-catering kitchen.

YHA Keswick truly exceeded our expectations in every way. The hostel is perfectly located in a beautiful and central area, making it an ideal base for exploring the surroundings. It's situated close to a variety of shops, cafes, and local attractions, which makes it very convenient for guests who want to experience the charm of Keswick.One of the standout features of the hostel was its exceptional cleanliness. Everything, from the common areas to the rooms, was spotless. The staff went above and beyond to maintain high standards of cleanliness, and they were always available to assist with any requests. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff made our stay even more enjoyable.
We stayed for two nights, and the shared bathrooms were incredibly well-maintained—sparkling clean and stocked with everything we needed. It was clear that all the residents took great care to keep the shared spaces tidy, which made a huge difference in the overall experience. The sense of community within the hostel was apparent, and it added to the positive vibe of the place.The hostel also offers a small but cozy restaurant where you can grab a meal or a snack, which was a nice touch after a long day of exploring. Additionally, the luggage storage facility was extremely convenient, especially for those who arrive early or need to store their belongings after checking out.
The location itself is hard to beat—nestled near a picturesque river, it offers a peaceful and scenic atmosphere that is perfect for unwinding after a busy day of sightseeing. Whether you're a solo traveler, a couple, or part of a group, YHA Keswick is an excellent choice for anyone seeking an affordable, clean, and well-located hostel in a beautiful part of the UK.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend YHA Keswick to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Keswick. It's a hidden gem that offers incredible value for money.
Located in the market town of Keswick in the heart of the Lake District National Park, Denton House Hostel is just a 5-minute stroll from Keswick Leisure Center.

The member of staff who I met, Christina, was absolutely lovely. I was absolutely soaked and freezing after a walk on the Skiddaw tops but she let me check in early, which was a real bonus. Thank you, Christina. Fantastic single showers and a wonderful location. Car parking is free, and the Wi-Fi is good in the areas where it reaches - this included my dorm, Walla Cragg. Only a five minute walk into Keswick
Set by a river, this Lakeland YHA in Borrowdale Valley has fine mountain views and an informal atmosphere. Enjoy family-friendly walks, laundry facilities and hot meals.

It's a quiet little place. Deffo not the spot for getting drunk and partying.
There's a nice cozy pub close by too
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
very cheap independent hostel in a beautiful large house in a beautiful quiet location, a wonderful retreat and for roaming the lakes. incredibly cheap.
Great location, charming traditional pub, good beer, tasty food, helpful staff, comfortable room and huge bed, spacious bathroom and lovely shower. Extensive breakfast menu and everything cooked to order. Reasonable evening menu, with wonderful fish pie.
Food was excellent. We walked to our accommodation and only needed one night stay as was walking on again, doing the Cumbria way. All of Elterwater is a little pricey when other surrounding towns are a little cheaper for accommodation. I think because of the lack of accommodation it is overpriced. However was a truly excellent visit.
Breakfast was awesome, Dinner was awesome too. I like that you eat together so you can chat with other occupants. There's a nice lounge area and a nice area to sit outside. I really like that the rooms are 6 beds and not like 12+ like some Hostels.
Location is great, super convenient bus route, nice pub in the village.
Great location and friendly staff,nice grounds to sit and enjoy a quiet drink. The hostel has a range of local ales at a reasonable price. even though there is no parking on site the staff allowed me to park my motorcycle. there is a National trust car park about a 100 yds from the hostel for car parking. The staff go that extra mile for there guest.
