Hostel Fisher-gill Camping Barn

Stybeck Farm, Thirlmere, Keswick, Cumbria, Thirlmere, CA12 4TN, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for Fisher-gill Camping Barn - rated 8.5 by recent guests.

to get started.

Excellent accommodation, very well located place and very cheap.

Pepelimone, United Kingdom

It was easy to get there by car. The landscape and the surroundings were amazing, we could hike up to a waterfall right from the doorstep and get good views of the lake. The barn is what it is, you really need to expect cold nights, as there's almost zero heating, I did not even risk a shower (works with coins). There was a heater that was supposed to work with coins, but did not work for us, but make sure you have spare change if you want to use it. The bunks were divided by curtains, so it was nice and private, and hot water bottles were provided which I made good use of. It's like a digital detox, no reception, no wifi, but this is kind of what you do it for. Altogether it was a good stay to get out of our comfort zone. The owner was really nice and helpful.

This was the second time we have stayed here. Great location and although the facilities are basic it reflects in the price and there's everything you need.

James, United Kingdom

Wonderful place, perfect for relax and discover the nature

Marta, Spain

Great location, cheap and cheerful, ideal for a few days in the Lakes

Zac, United Kingdom

Cheap and cheerful, great location. if you are going with a large group then I definitely recommend booking the whole barn out.

Chris, United Kingdom

This is my second stay at FisherGill camp barn . Myself and three friends stayed for 3 nights . The location is peaceful and beautiful , within easy reach of great walks , good pub food . The barn has everything you could imagine , they have thought of everything , even hot water bottles ! For me it’s like going staying with a relative . The owner is so friendly and helpful . The facilities are very clean .it’s great value for money , it’s a glorified brick tent , ideal for people that enjoy the great outdoors and want to get away from it all ! I can’t wait to return again :-)

Nikki, United Kingdom

It is the perfect place to disconnect from the city. No signal, no wifi. Just you and nature. The location requires walking everywhere if you do not have private care. You can always take the bus (right next to the place! perfect) but it can get pricey if you use it every time. We walked to the closest lake and areas, less than 30 mins walk. Also nice pub close to it!! Friendly staff.

Lidia, United Kingdom

You could tell that it had been well used but it was a lot better than my expectations
The location was excellent and the soft furnishings made the place feel more cozy and allowed for a certain amount of privacy within a communal setting

The recycling situation wasn’t very clear. It should have been clearly signposted and perhaps an indoor recycling bin.
Great location with a lovely terrace.

I don't mind dog's, and the owner of the dog was a really nice guy, but didn't really want to spend the night with one in the same room. He did ask, but I didn't really want to offend him by saying " no "
