Outstanding!
LAKES HOSTEL has comfort levels above and beyond. We stayed for 3 days last week and this place raises the bar for hotels let alone a hostels. Following an epic guided hike up Hellvellyn on blustery winters day, the steaming hot shower and the comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in were a welcomed luxury.
We also took in the half day boat charter around Lake Windermere arranged for us by the Lakes Hostel. This is not to be missed. What scenery! We also stopped at a pub which had its own jetty which was a nice touch.
The location of the Hostel is central and a great base for exploring. Some lovely pubs and restaurants in the surrounding area, or you can get a take away and a few beers and make the most of the kitchen/living room at the hostel.
This place is hardly a hostel. It is very clean, warm, modern and well hosted. Great base for exploring the Lake District. Will definitely be staying again.
