Solo holiday

Amazing views. Place a bit tired but clean and comfortable. Room was hot. Food smelt good. Never been to a YHA before, so wasn't sure how it all worked and there wasn't much information. Being a bit of an introvert I perhaps missed out on some of the experience.

The hostel is clean and practical. It is an excellent resource for walkers and outdoor activities. The rooms are basic but comfortable for a night or two in the Dales.
