YHA Coniston Holly How

Location - walking distance to Coniston. Friendly staff.

Car park - not a lot of spaces to park.

Location is really nice place.

The men shared room was really cold during the spring nights. There were few power connection points to recharge the batteries, mobiles, etc...

Great time, lively people and a proper breakfast, brilliant thanks,

Welcoming friendly staff. Very quiet. Relaxing lounge. Good breakfast.

Great price and location had everything I needed

The location was perfect for walking the old man of Coniston. The building is lovely and big, clean rooms, toilets and showers. Really nice staff, great lounge and the food was the best huge portions.

Once heating kicked in our room became toaster. The building is huge and it felt cold. We couldn't relax in the lounge as we found ourselves and other guests huddling around a small electric fan fire. The same in the dining room cold which meant you couldn't totally relax and had to sit with a jacket on.

Friendly staff.

The location, everything was good except for the booking rules and policy.

The rooms are filled with bunk beds, not much space to roam around in the 4 people room. I had booked two 4-bedroom rooms, when I got there they gave me one room for 8 people and another for 4 people. We were a group of 6, when I asked them if they would cancel the 4 people room and just give us the 8 people one, as the payment was still not taken, they didnt entertain the idea and charged s for the two rooms.

It was cosy and beautifully located. It was very self-sufficient and totally value for money. The breakfast was also excellent and the rooms and showering rooms were very clean.

Nothing.. Everything was close to perfect. Ideal place for budget- travellers.

very good for money.good place.

it was very convenient for the coniston marathon challenge. the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The toilets were clean. However the self-catering kitchen was basic but adequate, but the floor was dirty. InThe TV lounge the smell of damp was very strong. I did not open the door to get freash air in because I thought it might set an alarm off. I do realise that it is a large old building and upkeep will be large. I would use Holly How again.

Holly How was clean, quiet adn comfortable. It felt welcoming, and on a rainy day, cosy.

Courteous and helpful staff particularly Kirsty who left an answerphone message telling me I had left my asthma inhaler behind, but by the time we returned home a few days later I had obtained an emergency prescripton for a replacement. Totally my fault. Facilities were of a good standard.

The drying room was under heated and overcrowded. The day of my arrival had been particularly wet all day and I think most people had almost drowned.

I've stayed there several times before and have always found the staff to be very helpful and the stay enjoyable

Very friendly staff and great service

metal frame beds a little too small for anyone 6 foot plus

Prima plek voor overnachting tijdens wandeling Cumbria Way

Clean room and menu looked nice

Only one plug socket in room of 8. Booked 4 bed dorm, put in 8 bed. Tv didn't work. Very limited parking.

The lounge Bar prices

Friendly staff, very decent food. Great drying room.

Good location Good night sleep

Separate toilets and showers other side of hostel Not that cheap (but it is the Lake District) V busy with cycle run - struggled to park

Ambiance. Good staff. Solid food. High standard of cleanliness. Adaptable. Problem solving management. Value for money. Aesthetically easing.

Couldn't stay longer

Friendly staff, clean facilities and rooms, excellent location. I had a great stay.

A little pricier than the other YHAs in the Lake District, but still excellent value.
