This YHA is a proper treasure! A glorious building in a beautiful part of the world, with excellent amenities and super friendly staff. We’d recommend it 100%! We stayed in a comfy and cosy Landpod, waking to beautiful views of the fells every morning. The self catering kitchen was one of the biggest we’ve ever found at a YHA, with plenty of room for everyone, even though the hostel was full. And everything was immaculately clean. Showers were hot, very clean, and powerful! Evening meals from the hostel are fine, there’s a good range of beer and wine on sale, games to borrow in the sitting room, and a decent pub within very easy walking distance if you’d rather eat/drink out (the pizzas were great!) Thanks especially to Rachel who went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay, providing lots of tips and ideas for us to enjoy our break. YHA places are always special, but the staff make them even better! We enjoyed days out at the waterfalls, at Hardknott Roman Fort, swimming in the beautiful pools up the Esk, and paddleboarding on Wastwater (boards can be hired from West Lakes Adventure which is next to the pub!) Oh, and the WiFi (which is mentioned in lots of other reviews!) is reliable and fast enough for browsing, and definitely not worth complaining about! Thanks team Eskdale, we had a brilliant time and will be back!
