The hostel is quite far away from Bowness, only car could be accessible to there, but the biew is breathtaking, and the facilities are more than enough

Superb location. Good facilities. A little expensive.
Jonny, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location with views of Lake Windermere from our room and from the back side of the hostel. Self-catering kitchen and good breakfast including vegan and vegetarian options. Plenty of car parking spaces for all guests. Very clean and hygienic kitchen and rooms.

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.

As I did not see all the property I cannot review the property.
Ernest, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great stay. Didn’t hear much noise from other people which is nice. The kitchen doesn’t have a great selection of pans, and there didn’t seem to be any cooking oil which is commonly found in hostels. The bunk beds are quite short. I’m not very tall, but I was touching both ends of the bunk when lying down.

Väldigt mysigt boende

Väldigt fint boende i Lake District. Nackdelen för vår vistelse är dock rummet intill där en familj på minst 7 hade tryckt in sig i ett 4 bäddsrum. Barnen skrek och gormade. Slängde igen dörren. Sprang till toaletten utanför oss och slängde igen den säkert minst 200 gånger på en kväll/natt. Och det är utan överdrift kan jag säga. När jag lyfte till personalen om det här knackade de på men gjorde inget större av saken. Pågrund av det här blev det väldigt, väldigt lite sömn under den natten. Dagen efter bad jag om en kaffe som plåster på såren för problematiken och det ville de verkligen inte bjuda på. Tråkigt. Men utöver den här incidenten är det svårt att inte gilla det här boendet. Mysigt läge. Fin natur och absolut humana priser.
