Perfect Location, very picturesque with dramatic Lakeland scenery. Good walks on your doorstep, nice pub in the village.

Camping trips at YHA Hostels are so much easier co. Pared to setting up in a basic field. No need to bring all your own cooking facilities as you have access to their Breakfast and evening cafe facilities, or you can use the self cook kitchen. Views here are great and the lake is just a short walk away. Good bus connection to keswick. Only 1 camping pitch, but there are 3 pods in the same area. It was quite windy on one of our nights and so extra pegs are advisable. The grounds also quite rocky to get pegs in.

Went here with the other half and our toddler. It is very much the usual YHA experience. The room was a good size, the bedding was clean. The staff were very helpful, and the whole vibe of the place was extremely pleasant. Would very much happily stay here again. The only downside I can think of was the parking, which proved a little difficult. But other then that, not much to say. The surroundings of the hostel are stunning, if you are planning on walking around then I'd suggest taking care as there aren't a lot of walkable paths by the YHA to Buttermere.

Stayed here after walking from Keswick,the hostel is situated just up from the lake and is in an excellent location for walkers in the lakes We got checked in easy and got settled in our rooms,we had supper and breakfast here and the food was very good,only downside with the food was that sandwiches are no longer provided,with us.doing a linier hike we were hoping to restock supplies for the day ahead. The rooms were comfortable but unlike Keswick we had a shared toilet and shower along the corridor,not an issue for us but some may not like that,there's facilities in the hostel for self catering with a kitchen and fridge and also a couple of huts out front Decent place to sleep,eat and hike will book again if in area

A large traditional hostel. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were warm. We met some great people and had some lovely chats. The dining room had fantastic views. The staff were really helpful and went out of their way to help us track and catch a bus on a very very wet day.

A comfortable clean bed in a dorm - bargain price £25. All other occupants of dorm were respectful and friendly. Great nights sleep. Lovely unlimited continental breakfast for under £6 - freshly baked pastries, cereals, yoghurts, fruit, juices, toast and tea/coffee. Again, great value. Lovely hot showers. Very friendly staff. Will def stay again.

I booked for tent camping to discover that the area is completely unsuitable and they should not offer such facility. There is only room for one single tent and that the pitch is on a multi angle slope with large protruding tree roots. The area is also covered by tree canopy and judging by the collected fallen dead wood would be a danger to health especially if windy or heavy rain. To cap it the area is covered with sheep poo that must be removed prior to pitch. Save your disappointment and go elsewhere.
