Hostel YHA Dufton

Dufton, Appleby, CA16 6DB, United Kingdom –

The building where the hostel is located

Lock in a great price for YHA Dufton – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Location, location, location. Not only the wonderful views, but an excellent place to eat out across the road and a coffee shop in this small village. Actually wished I had booked my meal at the Hostel as it was Cumberland Sausage. Fully equipped kitchen and possibility of eating outside in the garden. Spacious rooms, best nights sleep I had had in ages.

Andrew

Lovely location and building. The room had enough space for the number of beds which is not always the case in youth hostels.

Linda

United Kingdom

We received a warm welcome, there was parking. The location was beautiful with the hills around and a haven of quiet for a good night's Sleep, The place itself was very comfortable, everyone we met was friendly, breakfast was hot rolls, part buffet and part hot traditional breakfast with s vegetarian option. Our host was warm and welcoming and asked us when we wanted our breakfast so it could be ready and hot. I was sorry we were only staying 1 night but I would like to return and stay longer and try some of the walks from there.

Check in is actually at 5pm as there is no-one there until then but you can get in and use the lounge so not a problem if you're early. The bunks were very comfy - we like firm mattresses - and the duvets soft and warm. The location is very good but we had poor weather so didn't do the hiking etc we came for. Breakfast is very good value and cooked to order. We didn't eat here so can't comment on evening meal. We ate at the Masons Arms in Long Marton which was excellent, and the Stag across the road which was also very good, but you have to book. Showers were very good and clean. It was also god to have a wash basin in the bedroom.

Located in a beautiful fellside village, YHA Dufton provides easy access for hikes through the North Pennine Hills. The property offers a licensed restaurant, a garden, and free private parking.

A self-catering dining room and kitchen are available for guests to use.

For experienced cyclists, The Great Dun Fell provides a challenging route, being the second highest hill in the Pennines. This area can be reached in around 15 minutes by car. High Cup Nick, Cross Fell and the Eden Valley can be enjoyed on a day walk.

The National Trust area of Acorn Bank Garden & Watermill is just 7 miles away, while the Rheged Discovery Center and Lake District National Park are a 25-minute drive.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
