YHA Buttermere

Great location for walking in the Lakes. The rooms are clean and tidy, and all services worked great. Some decent pubs are nearby too for when you've finished your walk.

Went here with the other half and our toddler. It is very much the usual YHA experience. The room was a good size, the bedding was clean. The staff were very helpful, and the whole vibe of the place was extremely pleasant. Would very much happily stay here again. ||The only downside I can think of was the parking, which proved a little difficult. But other then that, not much to say. The surroundings of the hostel are stunning, if you are planning on walking around then I'd suggest taking care as there aren't a lot of walkable paths by the YHA to Buttermere.

A large traditional hostel. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were warm. We met some great people and had some lovely chats. The dining room had fantastic views. The staff were really helpful and went out of their way to help us track and catch a bus on a very very wet day.

We took a year 6 group of children. The facilities were perfect, and the location was even more perfect. Sainsburys delivered, and Keswick Extreme did fantastic adventure activities, and they came to pick us up and drop us back off. For many children it was their first experience of being away from home and they loved it.

Affordable and decent accommodation set in a beautiful rustic location. Accessed only by some of the most scenic roads/passes in Great Britain. Quite off the beaten track when it comes to tourists - not too many around to disturb the quiet.

A comfortable clean bed in a dorm - bargain price £25. All other occupants of dorm were respectful and friendly. Great nights sleep. Lovely unlimited continental breakfast for under £6 - freshly baked pastries, cereals, yoghurts, fruit, juices, toast and tea/coffee. Again, great value. Lovely hot showers. Very friendly staff. Will def stay again.

Stayed here after walking from Keswick,the hostel is situated just up from the lake and is in an excellent location for walkers in the lakes |We got checked in easy and got settled in our rooms,we had supper and breakfast here and the food was very good,only downside with the food was that sandwiches are no longer provided,with us.doing a linier hike we were hoping to restock supplies for the day ahead.|The rooms were comfortable but unlike Keswick we had a shared toilet and shower along the corridor,not an issue for us but some may not like that,there's facilities in the hostel for self catering with a kitchen and fridge and also a couple of huts out front 😀 |Decent place to sleep,eat and hike will book again if in area 😀

We stayed here for a week while finishing the Coast to Coast (in reverse). It was a great base for wonderful walking and two lovely lakes and woods. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the kitchen did a fantastic job. The breakfasts were superb with everything cooked and presented very well and surprisingly good evening food. The rooms were clean and comfortable and at a good standard for this budget. The other guests were also a friendly and helpful bunch, giving the whole place a very harmonious relaxed atmosphere.
