First time in a hostel and was supremely amazed! A few key highlights were that it was really nice and clean, there was lovely staff, a great bar and in a good location. Would definitely go again to this place and other YHA hostels, would recommend

Stayed 3 nights. Friendly staff who went out of their way when we needed help with a battery for a lap top mouse on the last morning, we needed to amend car insurance due to an error (on our part) before we left. Breakfast excellent and good quality items and was the one evening meal we ate in. Plus lovely Loweswater beer of which we drank plenty. My only gripe was the loos which seemed to inadequately flush throughout the place!

The Ambleside YHA and Lakeside Restaurant alongside is so good, even the locals use it! Such a good venue and the staff are amazing. Nothing is too much effort, they are friendly and smiley all the time. The breakfast is outstanding and better than we got in the Holiday Inn last week and that cost £200 per night! Thoroughly recommend this place

Brilliant location, reasonable bar, decent breakfast and not expensive. Room was warm and spotless on check in. We had en-suite but place has loads of loos and showers (often offering a bit more room to be honest). Great staff and lovely welcome. These hostels are our go to for our ‘dads on tour’ walking weekends.
