YHA Keswick's superb location on the banks of the River Greta is only minutes from the vibrant town centre. You'll have easy access to walking, climbing, road & mountain biking, watersports and plenty of cultural attractions too.

Combine the great outdoors and walking to your heart's content with a wealth of evening entertainment. Popular YHA Keswick overlooks the river towards the mountains and is minutes from the town's amenities. Try local watersports, hire mountain bikes and if the weather's against you, visit the leisure centre, or the indoor climbing wall.

Stayed 2 nights with a child in a private room. Very clean, staff were all friendly. We got the breakfast which was great value. And a good option even as a vegan. Child's breakfast was a bargain. Lots of items available downstairs to use. Clean kitchen, no free tea or coffee in the kitchen so bring everything you need . No parking available but you can find free street parking or 2 free hours on the road closest to the entrance. Had a fire alarm go off while we were staying, very well organised

Exceptional setting - balcony looking out over the river and park….. Extremely quiet - you’d hardly know anyone else was staying. Staff very calm, helpful and friendly. Much appreciate being able to have a private en-suite room…..and very thoughtful to provide doggy towels in the foyer
