Property Description

If a secluded rural retreat is what you’re seeking, look no further than YHA Ennerdale, situated close to the Lake District’s most westerly lake. The hostel site includes a hostel and a camping barn, providing space for 24 guests.

With no TV, Wi-Fi or phone signal, the hostel offers a perfect location to switch off from your daily distractions and to enjoy the surrounding wilderness whilst socialising with like-minded guests. Plus, if it’s an eco-friendly trip you’re looking for then Ennerdale ticks that box too. The hostel has an off-grid power supply and even generates its own drinking water using water collected from the surrounding mountains! So relax, comfortable that you are helping the environment.

The site is surrounded by peaks, ridges and fells, offering an ideal location for walking and mountain biking. With tough mountainous walks and gentle forest trails, there’s something for everybody to enjoy. The hostel is a short drive from Whitehaven and a slightly longer drive takes you to the ancient market town of Cockermouth.

Please email in advance if food is required.

A marvellous hostel deep in the Lake District. A must-visit for anyone. I had the whole place to myself! A bit scary, but nice. Generally very family friendly. Ask them, and I think they’ll accommodate. Really, really wonderful staff, you don’t just find people like them anywhere - really genuine people. I can’t wait to come back soon. So, so cheap too!

Greatest location to detox and fully immerse yourself into nature; Ennerdale (though a little tricky to reach!) is such a great spot to explore the Lake District without distraction or crowds. The hostel is so accommodating; the honesty cafè, resources explaining the land use/ownership of the surroundings, extremely comfy beds, games and books, friendly staff are (to name only a few) what make this hostel great. Incredibly priced and worth every penny, I can’t recommend this enough.
