location, location, location. Now if you take the bus and walk from Grasmere, it’s a long uphill walk to the hostel. BUT once you arrive, you know it was worth it. The hostel / building is absolutely beautiful. The grounds were lush and green and I really enjoyed talking walks.

The staff were caring and helpful in an agreeable and sincere manner. The location is magnificent, situated at the forefront of Lake Windermere. I had a beautiful view of the lake from my dorm room window. The Waterhead Bus Stop is just a 3-minute walk away. Despite not being located on the main high street in Ambleside, this distance adds to its tranquility."

Breakfast was great, plenty of choice. Pod was excellent and our trip was only let down by the lack of stuff we brought. Next time we will be better prepared and it'll be perfect
