    Unfortunately, there is not enough parking, but managed to park in the village, which is fairly close by.

    Great location, good facilities, friendly staff. All in all, a lovely stay, was only for one night but would have been happy to stay longer.

    Everything was spot on from arrival - the incredibly welcoming atmosphere, the room, the lovely breakfast (great value) and the staff who went above and beyond to help us. Special thanks to the manager. She helped us jump start our car when the battery went flat! Would recommend this place to everyone.

    I think because the Hostel is located on a slightly hilly area with very little night lights along the way, it made it slightly uncanny to walk up to the Hostel when it got dark. But other than that, everything was tip top.

    I really liked our room, it was really cozy! The beds were so clean and comfortable, my friends and I had great nights’ sleep. The restrooms and showers were also really clean and all functioning properly. We really loved how there were common areas and game rooms, and even a small kitchen for guests to cook their own food in! We put that kitchen to good use. The staff were all very friendly and helpful as well, they made us feel very welcome. The location is very strategic, being very close to the town shops, and also being the same footpath up to Easedale Tarn. Overall, I think considering everything, this is definitely a great value for money, and it was worth every penny! I would come stay again, no doubt.

    It’s a bit old and creaky but that’s to be expected.. it’s an old building.

    The staff were friendly. The location is great.. 5 minutes walk from the bus stop. Umpteen walks straight from the hostel door. Breakfast was good value as were the rooms. Toilets and showers were clean.

    There was nothing bad really. Everything was fine.

    The hostel is very centrally located in Grasmere and provides basic but clean accommodation. The room was small but warm and ample, whilst showers and kitchen facilities were all good. There are numerous lounge areas whilst staff were all very friendly. Car parking was provided free of charge.

    Parking was limited although I was lucky enough to secure a space . Hand dryer in toilet was on the wall just the other side of my bedroom , this did wake me up a couple of times . Could be moved or replaced with paper towels.

    Location was excellent, lots of great walks right on your doorstep and close to all the pubs and cafés in Grasmere. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms, bedding, toilets and communal areas all very clean and well kept. , Didn't eat at the hostel but seemed like a good choice of food available.

    The cleanliness of the place is remarkable, the kitchen and kitchenette, bathrooms and showers, the reading and dining area and finally the room. Fresh white sheets and comfy mattress. Super friendly staff! There is a free of charge washer and dryer in the drying room in the basement. Amazing!

    No tea bags - need to provide your own, which is a shame for one night trips.

    Location, atmosphere, space, games room, the old building, the breakfast. Comfy and clean. Well behaved guests and a lovely mixture of ages too. Fully equipped with drying room etc for serious walkers!
