There are some very unfair reviews of this hostel. I think some people don't realise what a bargain Denton House is for a Lake District hostel. You get what you pay for and this is a budget hostel by local standards. Yes - there are better hostels but you will pay a lot more for them. I have stayed at... More

I've stayed here a number of times over the years with a group of lads from work. It was always on a Saturday night after a long hard walk and a few beers in Town. I never really knew what facilities were on offer. I recently stayed for two nights with my two sons, we all had a great time,this... More

Finding this place is very easy, loads of secure parking also . We are a group of mountain bikers from MTBE northeast and were made to feel very welcome from the very beginning from the friendly host Marcus who is a true legend :) Great central position with a mere 5 minutes walk into the centre of Keswick .

I visited the whole England,and this was surely the worst hostel i found. It's in the main road,but it isn't easy to find because there aren't indications. There's a parking but it's horrible and unsafe.There aren't many rooms and you also must be very lucky to have a good room. Our room was very draughty and, incredibly, there wasn't a... More

We found this accommodation to be more than adequate for what we wanted it for. If you stay in a B&B expect to pay £30 each a night! Rooms are basic, plenty of hot water, tv room and free tea and coffee. Approx 5 minute walk into town and you can come and go as you like. Really friendly staff.... More

Stayed here on a college trip, took over the whole hostel. A great location and the staff were very accomodating. However the dorms were quite tired and the beds uncomfortable. Not reccomended if you are used to staying in hotels, but for young backpackers or if you are on a seriously tight budget then ideal. One or two nights are... More

Denton House is exactly what it claims to be, a hostel not a 5 star hotel. The accomodation is all you need on a walking, biking or anything else for that matter trip. Clean facilities and rooms, free tea and coffee, no curfew, plenty of on site parking, drying room, kitchen and showers, HOT showers. For what you pay its... More

This place is a mess, and in need of some real care. There's cheap hostels and then there's down right rubbish. The staff seemed nice enough, the beds were comfortable. But it was noisy, unclean and seemed like someone was trying to make a quick buck.
