Very basic furnishings in rooms.

Nice Building. Good location.

Nothing really

Location, price and always good staying at the YHA

Stayed in December 2023

WiFi sucked - more off than on. Kitchen only has one 4 ring cooker for ALL of the rooms, and one under shelf fridge, so gets busy in the eves. NOISE. Zero soundproofing. Normal hostel noise. People walking about from 6am for hikes or whatever, people humping next door... Kitchen plays music from 7am. No control over the heating. There is a dial on the wall. It does nothing.

Great location, free parking, well equipped kitchen *if a bit small for the amount of rooms* Staff super friendly. Would stay again but only short stays because you don't really sleep in a hostel. Met some strangers and still had a ball.

For £12 you could not ask for a better stay.

I still do not understand why YHA cannot put up clear notices in stairwells and corridors reminding people that 23.00 to 07.00 (or whatever) is a quiet time and needs to be respected. There was a re-union group in while I was there and they carried on until 01.00. Not against that, but with more notices, one of them might have suggested they keep the noise down a bit. There are no staff present in the property, so it really has to be self-managed. I am sure the noisy people had a nice sleep in, but those of us heading for the mountains next day had an early start after a truncated nights sleep.

A wonderful building located just a a couple of minutes walk from Grasmere itself. The staff are amazing - working a team and all enjoying what they do. Rooms and beds are clean and spacious, while the shared toilets and showers are also spot on. It seemed they were always being inspected and cleaned which is a credit to the team there. The self-catering kitchen (Main building) is very well equipped and a great place to chat and make new friends. Then one can choose to eat in the dining area, move to the very comfortable lounge, or make use of the TV lounge (almost reads like a hotel!!). Such a wonderful place to be. I will be back very very soon.

The friendly atmosphere, the staff, the location (away from the civilisation)

Everything was great. We’ve nothing we didn’t like.

Everything was very clean and tidy. The beds bunks but quite comfortable. Room was nice and warm. Shower was also very nice too.

Limited parking. Arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Typical YHA property, clean and comfortable, good communal rooms, great kitchen facilities if you don’t want to cook for yourself, very helpful staff and a perfect location for Grasmere village.

The room smelt of damp, think needs new carpet which stank

Historic look and feel

Stayed in August 2023

Shared facilities but to be honest in the end this didn’t cause an issue and they were always very clean.

Good location within easy walk of the local village.

Stayed in August 2023

Food is really not nice, all frozen. The staff was willing to help us with food on the last moment but nobody told us we were nere the village with plenty of restaurants.

Stayed in August 2023

On arrival the car park was fully booked - It was necessary to park in town. There was no clothes chest in the room.

Accommodation met my expectations.

Stayed in July 2023

ALL GOOD

Stayed in June 2023

A very cosy place with a close distance to Grasmere. Great with both breakfast and evening menu (cheap, but good) and the possibility to cook ourselves. When the choice is a YHA, this is good. Lovely people working there.

Stayed in July 2023

Great location lovely setting. Great weekend. The only thing was the beds were not very comfortable I’m sure I paid £220 for 2 nights I just expected the beds/mattresses to be a bit more comfortable that’s all just being honest but I suppose it’s a hostel and not a 5 star hotel. 👍

Stayed in June 2023

The price on booking.com was very expensive - more than direct booking with YHA and breakfast was not included

Stayed in June 2023

Bed was rather uncomfortable, so not a good nights sleep.

Location & room were all good, but the breakfast & food were fantastic.

Stayed in June 2023

Creaking floors, our room was opposite the toilet and shower facilities so when people were getting up in the morning we could here them walking around

Great location for walks and wildlife. The whole hostel including rooms and facilities were lovely and clean and the staff were all really nice and accommodating
