What a fantastic time my two dogs and I had here! We were greeted by the very helpful and friendly Tony who showed us round our room and the communal areas. He was very helpful and kicked our stay off to a wonderful start. It was just a one night stop over before an event in the area the next day but it felt like a mini holiday. The hostel is the most well equipped, clean and modern hostel I've ever stayed in! Everything you could possibly need during your stay, especially the kitchen facilities - free tea, coffee and cooking essentials were so helpful. Easy, free parking right outside the front door too. It was spacious and comfortable, truly dog friendly and the rooms were immaculate. Will definitely be back again when I'm next in the area.

Surrounded by lovely greenery in the heart of vibrant Keswick centre, YHA Keswick is just a 10-minute walk from Lake Derwentwater. It features a restaurant and self-catering kitchen.

Wi-Fi access is available, along with luggage storage. The majority of rooms contain bunk beds. This place is so lovely, I love that it was all ages, there were families, elderly people, we were a married couple in our thirties and did not feel out of place at all. It was so lovely and everyone was kind, and it is in a perfect location. Room was perfectly acceptable, which is all I would ever expect in a hostel.

With only three people staying, we had our own spaces and a bit more privacy. A hostel style bunk room on a farm, the location is great to be out in a peaceful area, yet a short drive to the city and close to the coast.
