I will come back. Thank you so much!

Pros: It was located in a wonderful area. Stuff were very helpful and friendly. I particularly like that this hostel is an independent one.

Cons: A bit old. That is at the same time also very nice and authentic.

Helpful, polite and communicative staff, who made my stay as smooth as possible!!!

Pros: From the first moment the gentlemen at the front desk helped me checking in early, I much appreciate that as I was moving from place to place and 3 hours prior to official check in he checked me in. That was already a huge favour. Throughout my stay the property was spick and span high quality cleanliness in the showers, toilets, rooms. I can only highly recommend it!!! Walkers, tourist, cyclists, fell runners etc. it's a nice, calm, quiet place to relax, walk, etc...

Cons: Wasn't such a thing. Ohhh I forgot the FREE tea and coffee, anytime you like. So NO NEGATIVES whatsoever!!!

Value for money and a pleasant stay

Pros: The bed was very cosy exactly what you’d need after a long day hiking. The on-site breakfast was nice. Would def love to have dinner too as the menu on board looked so mouth-watering. Staffs super nice!

Cons: The location is quite good actually - just 3min from the nearest bus stop. However, do take the whole travel time into consideration. Transferring between buses takes very long waiting time. It would be so frustrating as normally you’d assume at least one hour more to wait for the next one if having tragically missed the former. My case- took a wrong direction but jumped off as soon as i realised. Still missed the right one though. The next one was two hours later. Do not even think about Uber which just not working in the Lake District

Molly 10/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Pros: The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Facilities were great and the beds were comfy. Felt very homely, and the views are 10/10. Short walk to local pub and 10 min drive to amenities in Ambleside. Perfect stay!

Cons: No parking on property but a car park just 1 min walk away is fine, only a problem on a busy Saturday mid day when it gets full.

A lovely hostel in a wonderful location.

Pros: A delightful find. Wonderful staff with a real community-minded approach. I didn't order the breakfast but when I saw it, I wished I had.

Cons: The dorm was noisy but that was no fault of the establishment.

Oghoroghene 9/10

Pros: The staff were fantastic. Very informative and helpful. The hostel was in good condition and clean.

Cons: Due to the poor transport network, I don't think it was the right choice for commune to my destination.

Jonothan 9/10
United Kingdom πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Pros: Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Room was very clean, wash facilities were immaculate and felt very modern. Great social atmosphere between all the guests. Breakfast, tea and coffee facilities were very useful to have and of a very good standard.

Cons: A full six-man room with everyone's luggage felt rather cramped, however it's to be expected really in a busy hostel. Very pleasent nonetheless.
