Great location, lovely, well equipped hostel. The only thing I would change is the lack of plug points. All the beds had USB ports but none for actual plugs, there was only one in our dorm and a few others dotted around the hostel. Not everyone has a charger with a USB and if you're heading out for a day in the hills you need all devices fully charged for safety

Great location for walking

A great location for loads of walks on the doorstep so no need to take and park the car elsewhere. Walking distance to shops, pubs, restaurants, take-away and Coniston Lake. Friendly and helpful staff and a nice clean place.

Over thirty pounds for a bed in a dormitory - without breakfast. You've got to be having a laugh, right? Nope. Britain's young people are being priced out of the YHA. When I pointed this out to the receptionist, he said: you could always camp instead. Isn't this missing the point?
