A very average hostel with average facilities, average rooms and toilets but in a very good location of Windermere. I got off my train at 10pm and arrived in my hostel within 5minutes including searching. A good place for overnight stays only with reasonable price including breakfast. More

I stayed in 4-bed dorm room, for 1 night. I like the location, very close to train station & tourist info.center. I met the staffs when I checked in, and they were nice & helpful & the guy took me & help brought my luggage to the room too. Kitchen is good, free bread, milk, etc. They have internet, but... More

Warm welcome that was advertised equals a box to put your money in. Self catering hostel equals Two toaster, none work. Oven doesn't work. Paul the owner would not show up if the place was on fire. does Paul exist, as anyone ever meet him. I'm Irish, I know what crack is, there was none here. Not a safe place.... More

It was a good place, actually exceeded my expectations. At 18pounds per night for a private 2-person room, i wasn't expecting much, especially in a touristy area like Windermere. But the bathrooms were really clean and the kitchen stocked with cooking utensils. Breakfast is just enough with bread, butter and jam provided. Milk as well as cereal is also available.... More

We paid £15 pp/pn - just £2.50 less each than other stunning, clean hostels across the UK and Scotland. This place was well below standard. Old grotty mattresses and pillows. No locks on doors - hence no security. It was damp and our room smelt appalling. It needs completely updating - even if that means putting the price up a... More

We do try to refurbish the hostel annually, and since your stay we have replaced all mattresses. We have also installed a... More

Absolutely great hostel. Never stayed anywhere like it before in the UK. Everything was clean, tidy and cosy. My partner and I had a private room which was a little cramped but perfect for what we needed. The kitchen was great we cooked in every night, Sky TV and internet was a suprising bonus and the living room a cosy... More

Just few minutes' walk from train station and Tourist Info office. Honour system, you get a code via e-mail to get in the door, then deposit payment into safe. Help yourself in well stocked kitchen (dishes, pots/pans, bread, juice, milk, etc) for breakfast. Washer and dryer in kitchen. Very cozy place, felt like we were visiting a friend. Laid back,...
