Check-in wasn't until a few hours after we arrived in Keswick but they were great and let us leave our bags so we could go and get lunch. We had a family room which was great - all the kids had their own beds and loved the bunk beds. The room was clean and while we didn't have an ensuite, the bathroom and toilets weren't far away at all. It was great having the cafe downstairs (complete with small interesting things such as games and walk information) for an easy and really well-priced breakfast. I also liked that you could pay for towel hire. There's a stream right next to the YHA and a playground so really useful when you've got kids who need to burn off energy. And if you stay there over a weekend, there's a kids parkrun which takes place every Sunday at 9am.

    Food was excellent. We walked to our accommodation and only needed one night stay as was walking on again, doing the Cumbria way. All of Elterwater is a little pricey when other surrounding towns are a little cheaper for accommodation. I think because of the lack of accommodation it is overpriced. However was a truly excellent visit.

    Breakfast was awesome, Dinner was awesome too. I like that you eat together so you can chat with other occupants. There's a nice lounge area and a nice area to sit outside. I really like that the rooms are 6 beds and not like 12+ like some Hostels. Location is great, super convenient bus route, nice pub in the village.

    Great location and friendly staff,nice grounds to sit and enjoy a quiet drink. The hostel has a range of local ales at a reasonable price. even though there is no parking on site the staff allowed me to park my motorcycle. there is a National trust car park about a 100 yds from the hostel for car parking. The staff go that extra mile for there guest.
