Stayed in pods, basic and very cosy for four people, comfortable beds, do need to access main building to use loo.
Buffet breakfast was really good. As was evening meal. Five mins walk from Buttermere. Great location for Lake and associated walks.
WiFi signal poor.

Great location for walking in the Lakes. The rooms are clean and tidy, and all services worked great. Some decent pubs are nearby too for when you've finished your walk.

A large traditional hostel. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were warm. We met some great people and had some lovely chats. The dining room had fantastic views. The staff were really helpful and went out of their way to help us track and catch a bus on a very very wet day.

Went here with the other half and our toddler. It is very much the usual YHA experience. The room was a good size, the bedding was clean. The staff were very helpful, and the whole vibe of the place was extremely pleasant. Would very much happily stay here again. ||The only downside I can think of was the parking, which proved a little difficult. But other then that, not much to say. The surroundings of the hostel are stunning, if you are planning on walking around then I'd suggest taking care as there aren't a lot of walkable paths by the YHA to Buttermere.

We took a year 6 group of children. The facilities were perfect, and the location was even more perfect. Sainsburys delivered, and Keswick Extreme did fantastic adventure activities, and they came to pick us up and drop us back off. For many children it was their first experience of being away from home and they loved it.

We stayed here for a week while finishing the Coast to Coast (in reverse). It was a great base for wonderful walking and two lovely lakes and woods. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the kitchen did a fantastic job. The breakfasts were superb with everything cooked and presented very well and surprisingly good evening food. The rooms were clean and comfortable and at a good standard for this budget. The other guests were also a friendly and helpful bunch, giving the whole place a very harmonious relaxed atmosphere.

Affordable and decent accommodation set in a beautiful rustic location.
Accessed only by some of the most scenic roads/passes in Great Britain.
Quite off the beaten track when it comes to tourists - not too many around to disturb the quiet.
