Very close to train station, wifi works well, breakfast fine, sheets clean. Will stay again.

Tucked away opposite the Windermere tourist info building, this hostel is simple but pleasant. The breakfast supplied is really good - bread, jam, cereal and milk are there to help yourself to. There's no staff permanently on site, so it's not worth turning up without a booking. The simplicity is ideal though. It's really clean (and the only hostel I've been in where I've seen a member of staff actively and efficiently cleaning!) Don't go expecting guest house quality, but a decent bed

It felt a little disorganized - they mistook one person staying for two nights instead of two people staying for one night. But I called the manager and the cleaning lady very kindly and quickly sorted it out for me. Space was a little cramped and not many bathrooms but it's what one would expect of a backpacker's lodge. Close to the station, the info center, and also the beautiful Orrest Head viewpoint, and 20 min walk to Lake Windermere so location was great.

I don't know if I paid the right price for the night I stayed in. I gave 15 pounds for the night. Please let me know if I do the wrong price. My name is Wang
