“Terrific location, hostel and great staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012

This is a well run hostel in a lovely location, ideal for active pursuits in the hills and on the water or just to relax. The staff manage to be very well organised AND friendly. Great food also.

“YHA Coniston, Holly How”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2012

Lovely home-cooked food, and plenty of it. Breakfast was generous, hot coffee on tap. For dinner, I had homemade quiche, vegetable tagine and a delectable chocolate brownie. Spotlessly clean, this hostel is well cared for.
