Facilities

We’ve been a hostel for over 80 years, but that doesn’t mean we’re old fashioned. We’ve been updating the facilities to combine the charm and functionality of the original YHA Hostel with a relaxed, warm and comfortable environment. Other facilities include:

• Accommodation for up to 38 people in 11 bedrooms, ranging from two to six beds in each

• Available for single bookings or groups large or small –  Enquiries welcome

• Two newly refurbished unisex shower rooms, in addition to gender specific facilities

• Fully equipped self catering kitchen

• Communal lounge/dining area

• Excellent drying room

• Cycle storage

• Small shop selling maps, postcards snacks and drinks

• Free wifi in public areas and some bedrooms

• Just a two/three minute walk from a fantastic Lakeland pub

• National Trust car park less than 100m away – free to National Trust members or £6.50 per day. There is also limited free roadside parking around Elterwater.

• Fully catered accommodation options available

• Knowledgeable staff willing to help you plan your time in the lakes
