The parking for motorbikes was not great,
As it was all gravel

Generally as expected. The beds and linen could have been more comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. A television lounge for adults would be good.

The location is nice and the staff is friendly and helpful .cool place to enjoy your holidays. But one thing I didn’t like about the property is that the basic amenities like towels were charged for because people spend so much money on the accommodation and I feel that it was not fair.

I loved that it was safe and it was a lovely hotel. I did not like it was so much noise at night. the bathroom and the showerroom was not clean.

An excellent and very enjoyable stay in the heart of the Lake District, with a beautiful view over Esthwaite Water. Ample free parking. Within easy reach of Hawkshead, Ambleside, Windermere, Coniston, Tarn Hows, and so much more! Staff were very welcoming and genuinely doing everything possible to ensure that you had a good stay. Only small issue was that Covid has closed down much of the communal areas, meaning that for a hostel it was particularly quiet, but this is entirely outside the control of the hostel. I would not hesitate to book again when next visiting the Lake District.

The actual house of yha is beautiful. Set in lovely gardens.
The room we had slept 3. Very small and cramped.

Check-out at 10am and check-in at 3pm is not acceptable.

Great service from staff - very friendly, welcoming, quick check in. Beds comfy as any other YHA beds. Plug sockets next to beds with USB sockets also, which makes life easier. Only downside was people coming in drunk at 12/1/2 (three separate waves) and not being courteous enough to keep quiet. There was some broken glass on the driveways the following morning though this didn't affect us as we came/left by foot.

Nice scenic view from the room depend on your allocation.
Could provide map for joggers in the hostel and the distance from key location. e.g. point A to B.
Could provide farm touring arrangement with landlord around the Hostel.

The rooms and facilities were nice, though my bed did not stop creaking every time I moved and I move a lot. And there were so many families here during this time, so the place was louder than expected.

Nice hostel, excellent cost benefit. Amazing kitchen, nice room and bathroom but don´t expect too much luxury. The views are definitely worthwhile. Staff was really cool and easy to park.

It was a nice place to stay. The view and surrounding was excellent . But I would not say same about the hostel. The room was Okay. Bed sheets and mattress looked new but carpet was pretty bad shape. The gallery was smelling rotten dust bin where we couldn't stand for a minute but yes Bathrooms were neat and clean which was the most important thing. So it depends what is important for you . I would say staff could be more helpful and polite . One of the guy at reception was little rude.

Thought occupants in above room were going to come through the ceiling. It was obvious that they were trying to walk quietly too.
Nice breakfast and a welcome evening meal
