I have brought college groups to Denton House for over 12 years now - as usual the activities undertaken were first class and superb - challenging, exhilarating but extremely safe and well run. Accomodation great for the students and now the breakfast is first class better the some starred hotels and all local fresh produce - well done Mick and... More

We stayed here with a group of 6 and the accoommodation was exactly what we needed. Relatively cheap and cheerful but with great facilities IE: Showers, sitting room and large dining area. The rooms are 'Bunk house' type rooms varying in size but ideal for us with all our kit etc. Plenty of toilets and facilities for mixed groups with... More

Good location just outside the Town centre but an easy 5 minute walk into the centre. The room are very basic but practical and in need of storage and locks on the rooms. As previously mentioned in other reviews leave all possessions in the car. The male showers need up dating. my shower was broken and you couldn't get a... More

I came into Keswick after 3 days of wild camping. This was the perfect place to crash meet a few people. Extremely clean, great kitchen, great beds, really nice sitting area with good books. Most importantly the staff was amazing! Mark was energetic and engaging and provided me with tons of information about walking, fishing, and transportation. Also, for only... More

We stayed a single night before the Jennings Rivers Ride. We were a bit unsure whether a hostel was really suitable with small children (4 & 10).

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Would highly recommend. Received a very enthusiastic and friendly welcome. Rooms were very clean and modern. Would definetly come back again. Good toilets and showers. Small kitchen and wash up area also available.

Stayed here whilst taking part in the English 3000's. Accommodation clean, comfy beds and excellent food! Better than I could have hoped for when sharing with complete strangers. Mark Divine possibly a bit over the top, but he can cook good food. And there was plenty of it. He certainly looks after the place well. Tea and coffee whenever you... More

stayed here for 1st night while doing the c2c. Nice accommodation, v reasonable and also supply towels for just £1. Hostel manager a bit of a character, overdid the guided tour when all we wanted to know was where we were sleeping. Nice & quiet - had dinner & b/fast out.

I stayed in Denton House in 2009. Friend booked us for this weekend and I actually didn't recognize the place. All new, inside and out, and what a value for a pound! When you get there, ask for Mark - guy makes for 50% of the atmosphere!
