I've never stayed in YHA hostel before and this place had good and bad points. First off the Hostel is a lovely old building in a cracking location; the accomadation was basic as you would expect from a hostel but it was clean. Unfortunately when we arrived at 21:30 at night after a long walk we found we had to... More

Very clean and tidy. The staff were welcoming and helpful and had great local knowledge. We had evening meals and breakfast and both were great. Upon returning home I called to explain I had lost my camera. One of the staff immediately went to the car park to look for it for me! We all had a great time and... More

Our first stay in a hostel, on the C to C. We expected hostels to be a certain way and this proved us totally wrong. The room, the staff, the food, the location, EVERYTHING, was 10/10. To the "Barrister" in charge of the coffees (you know who you are!) Thank you to you & the rest of the staff for... More

Busy hostel within walking distance of the village. My dorm was in the annexe so it was good while a large school group was in the main house, but rather small and cramped otherwise. Glad I didn't have a large rucksack or a lot of gear! Good sized self catering kitchen in the annexe too, but alas, one of the... More

A beautiful place. It's years since I hostelled in the UK & this has made me realise I want to do more. Very friendly, clean, warm and welcoming. Fantastic food - breakfast especially. Good drying room and a great location. The staff were very helpful.

Good hostel - old building with a nice feel, nice and clean, showers and bedrooms of good hostel quality - enough space in the dorms, good breakfast, helpful staff, will serve teas and coffees during the day while we were there. Drying room good. Good location in middle of Grasmere. Parking - not enough spaces for all guests - so... More

We had a 3 night break here before Easter, with our two children, age 3 and 5. The room was smaller than we'd anticipated but it was clean, warm and quiet. We ate in on two evenings and the food was excellent and the catering staff really friendly. The dining-room in the main hostel is really lovely with great views... More

Beautiful YHA, well set up for cycling. Bike shed has wall mounted bike stand to do bike repairs. There is a hosepipe to wash the mud off your bike. The drying room was very warm and very roomy. The YH is only a short walk from Grasmere centre, the staff were very friendly and the surroundings were stunning- even a... More

We stayed here for three nights on our trip to the lake district, and couldn't have imagined being anywhere else. The service was outstanding--everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, and it was always easy to find someone to ask a question or get a piece of information about the area. The prices were also extremely reasonable, and my friend and... More
