location, location, location. Now if you take the bus and walk from Grasmere, it’s a long uphill walk to the hostel. BUT once you arrive, you know it was worth it. The hostel / building is absolutely beautiful. The grounds were lush and green and I really enjoyed talking walks.

Honestly my kids were most nervous about staying in a hostel, but we had the most fun from our entire stay (road-tripping throughout the UK). The kitchen was a relief—getting dinner after a long day, or options for full breakfast the next morning were awesome. We spent a lot of time in the game room—and ended up having to buy Clue after we returned home because it was so much fun to just have that time…
