Facilities

Modern facilities, old fashioned lakeland charm

A hostel for over 80 years, but that doesn’t mean we’re old fashioned. Since 2013, we’ve been continually upgrading to combine the charm and functionality of the original YHA Hostel with modern facilities, such as high speed wifi, better showers, bathrooms and improved fabrics to create a relaxed, warm and comfortable environment. 

Our accommodation has a variety of bunk rooms for individuals, couples, and groups, ranging from two to six sleeper rooms. For more privacy, consider booking the whole hostel, or specific private rooms. Or you can simply book one or more beds in a shared dorm.

We are sorry, we do not take dogs or other pets.
