Hostel The White Horse Inn Bunkhouse

Scales, Threlkeld, CA12 4SY, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for The White Horse Inn Bunkhouse - rated 8.8 by recent guests.

to get started.

Great location, and facilities, at a great price. Also situated directly behind a really good pub serving good food.

Kris, United Kingdom

Enjoyed the amenities, the on-site bar/restaurant, and the friendly staff.

Charlie, Spain

Very surprised with the standard throughout, it was very handy having the pub/restaurant so close as the weather was so bad, I will definitely go again and hopefully get some dry walks in.

Keith, United Kingdom

The stuff we’re really nice and helpful, the food at the pub was really good and cheap. The room is small but you’re going there to hike so won’t be spending much time there, so it was what we wanted and needed.

Ester, United Kingdom

Location, location, location. Perfect for a walk up Blencathra.

Disappointing

- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted via mobile
Paying a lot of money for a room no more than 10 foot square with no facilities and no ventilation (the window would not open). 6 men in a room this size is just appalling. Yes a kitchen and toilet is available but you have to venture outside to get to. Yes it's cheap when split between six but the floor space is the same if not smaller than a hotel room with private facilities. I get the idea but it should be for two people at the most and cheaper.
The pub food was excellent
