A bit remote from the Hawkshead bus station(25 minutes walk), enjoyed the view on the way though. Limited sockets in the room. Great kitchen and dining room. Helpful and warm staff.

The staff were friendly and the service was good.
It's about a 20-minute walk from Hawkshead, so it's recommended for people who are physically fit.
I also recommend taking the ferry from Windermere to get there.

It's best to go by car, but be careful that there are few buses. It's in the middle of the Lake District. There is also a campsite.

We had an excellent experience during our stay. The place is clean, the staff really helpful and friendly, the surrounding area was peaceful and beautiful. All other guests also really mindful, made all of sharing area experience become comfortable.

Yha Hawkstead is a great location for a camping trip. There is a massive lawn area to camp, with several small wooded areas around the site for privacy and to let the children explore. Well equipped site, with heated outdoor toilet/shower blocks. Inside the hostel maintains much of the gradure of the past, several big rooms for children and families to use. 2x games rooms, a big self cook kitchen, two big dining areas. Parking is good and only a mile away is Hawkshead village with various shops, pubs & children's park. The hostel offers a range of indoor/ outdoor accommodation as well as pitch up camping. We will be returning.

The indoor shower was locked with out notice for some exclusive use and every other visitor are forced to use outdoor shower, During check in or booking this was not communicated at all. The WiFi and Network are pretty terrible. So better take some other form of networks.
