Helpful staff, nice breakfast , good location close to Keswick centre, good value for money, scenic views across the valley

James United Kingdom

Room was comfy, basic and quiet. Bathroom seemed brand new and the location was excellent.

K United Kingdom

Second time staying here and a great place to stay. Very clean place and friendly staff. Great base for weekend hiking

Mark United Kingdom

Wonderfully positioned (splendid isolation means that if one turns up without a car, it's not particularly near to food/services) and excellent value. Given the lack of nearby amenities, maybe the use of a small kitchen would be good.

Paul United Kingdom

Location was outstanding. Accommodation lovely and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. You will not be disappointed.

Pauline United Kingdom

Breakfast was fast and a good selection of items. The location has beautiful views and perfect for hiking.

Ying United Kingdom

I stayed for 3 nights in a single en-suite room for £99 breakfast included, this is a much better price than the YHA group although it does make me wonder how much money the place is making and would suggest charging a bit more for the rooms. The room was fine, bed comfortable and the heating and shower worked well. The only part of the centre that was open was the canteen area but given the COVID restrictions this was understandable and was known in advance. I would stay here again and can only imagine what the place would be like in the summer with the catering facilities open for an evening meal followed by a drink outside as the sun was setting. The view from the front of the centre is amazing with views across to Keswick, the Borrowdale valley, St Johns in the Vale and beyond, see photos attached. There are also numerous walks that can be done directly from the door. Finally all of the staff were friendly and helpful and there is ample parking.

Jeanette United Kingdom

Beautiful location, lovely staff, comfy bed and good price!

Marta United Kingdom

Location, cleanliness, cooked breakfast, helpful staff and great price

It’s very close to Keswick and lovely walks near by
