First time in a Youth Hostel and I was so impressed. The staff were so lovely and helpful. The setting was stunning and the Bell Tent was amazing. So cosy, and so clean. Beds and bedding really comfortable. Good evening meal and Breakfast. Highly recommend and would love to go back.
great location, very cheap for area
Relatively low price. Room had micro and big TV with apps, was warm and seemed clean. Free cereal breakfast in communal kitchen. Two guys running the place from a room upstairs were friendly and helpful. More of a backpackers hostel than a starred hotel which I was ok with.
Great location. Very comfortable apartment and felt very safe.
Great location and easy to access. The place is modest, but fully functional. Well-suited if you are on a bit of a budget and want to use your accommodation as a base to explore the region. Very comfortable double-bed with a fantastic mattress and duvet and good heating system. Pet friendly.
Very clean and comfortable. Good value for money. Great location between Bowness and Windermere shops, pubs, and restaurants. Easy access with keysafe. Martin was a helpful host with information on the local area we asked for as we have not stayed in Windermere before.
Cheap and cheerful. Good facilities for a bargain hostelry. Have stayed before and will return over winter. Great location for Park Run and walk up Skiddaw
Great value for money. Our room was a really good size for a family of four with a double and bunk bed for our two boys the mattresses were comfortable. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean with a modern feel, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great location for exploring the North lakes on a budget and only 12 minutes drive away from Keswick.
