We were pleasantly surprised by this place! Staying as a family (two adults, three kids) and our room was lovely. Staff really helpful, food was great. The only thing that let it down was people using the hand dryer in the bathroom next to our room late at night (there’s a sign up saying not to but they obviously didn’t read it) and the shower was out of order and leaking on to the floor. It just meant there was a pool of water close to the base of the toilet, which is never pleasant. I appreciate these things take a while to fix, though! But all in all, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again :)

Super friendly staff, the girl on reception gave great advice. Had a bit of a mix up when booking and they very promptly got in contact and upgraded me to a bell tent which was so cool. Everywhere is really clean and amazing view. Would defo recommend.

We booked a 5 bed room for my friends and I over the easter weekend. And while the property at the time was super busy, we had a wonderful stay. Comfy beds, good rooms, the bathrooms were exceptionally clean. My friend visiting from the US was shocked at how high the standards were of the hostels in the UK. Overall, would definitely recommend. The only thing I'd highlight is that you need to have a car to access the property easily. Google says its a 40min walk from Windermere station but the roads are quite uphill and we ended up using the local taxis instead.

Wonderful hostel perfect location

The location is wonderul! Beautiful views, and very peaceful. If you don't have a car its a long walk up the hill from Windermere. I had everything I needed for a relaxied stay. Obviously this is a hostel so you can't account for other noisy guests, however there is a policy to meep the noise down between 11pm and 7am. Breakfast looked good although I brought my own. The guest kitchen is quite small but is well equipped. Evening meals looked nice, but again I'd brought my own. There are three small car parks and all were pretty much full, but guests still managed to park. The camp site is in a lovely field not far from the main building. I stayed in a shared female dorm.

We enjoyed the bell tent and tipi we had for the night. The children wanted to know why they heard sheep bleating in the field next door - it was late, but the noise level was peaceful. Just mamas checking in on their lambs, I'm guessing. Lovely for going to sleep by. The kitchen was properly outfitted for a place of this sort and made feeding our family cheap and easy. We had to be split up for fire safety (six children), but that would be the case for a Travelodge or something and then our children wouldn't have had the lovely grassy area to run around in while the parents packed up the car.

Disappointed with the room setup and storage. I booked a 6-person shared room but ended up in an 8-person room. They claim to provide lockers, but there are only 4 cupboards for 8 people. If you arrive late, you won't get any locker facilities at all
