YHA Eskdale

A peaceful stay in a beautiful mountain setting with a charming river nearby — perfect for photos! The 4-bunk room was great value for the price, with clean washrooms and a satisfying breakfast (continental or English). I’d definitely come back!

I stayed here with 2 friends for a weekend walking in Eskdale. We have stayed in 6 other youth hostels and this is by far the best. It is immaculate, the common rooms are spacious, clean and tidy and our private bedroom was spacious and spotless. Breakfast was superb. All credit to the warden and team running this superb hostelry. |The location is fabulous and there is lots of parking space. We will definately be back!

I had a lovely stay at this YHA. Tucked away in one of the most peaceful and scenic parts of the Lake District, it’s perfect for anyone wanting to explore the fells or just disconnect and enjoy nature. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It’s family friendly too. The staff were kind and helpful. The hostel itself was clean and cosy. The staff do a deep clean daily. I especially loved the communal areas, which made it easy to meet other travellers. As well as a cafe, they have a self catering kitchen stocked with pans, cutting boards, knives, cutlery and anything you could ever need while cooking. The views from the hostel were stunning, and there are some beautiful trails that start right from the doorstep.

Loved it, beautiful location, clean room, friendly staff and red squirrels! |Extensive beautiful nature gardens too, and unlimited potential for walking and exploring.

Great location, about 20 mins away from Scafell , ideal for walker climbers or anything outdoors. There is both a self catering and on site restaurant, breakfast is cheap and plentiful. There is even a small bar to help rest in the evening. Rooms are comfortable with communal showers . Plenty of seating inside and outside. Staff are friendly and helpful, all in all a nice place.

Came here with my mates| Brilliant hostel, great location. Been here a few times over the years. Only gets better. Quiet , clean and the staff are great and always up for a chat. Would always recommend this hostel as a great place to stay if your in the lakes

Lovely Hostel with amazing views. Nice and clean in all areas. Very disappointed with the vegan breakfast, please get rid of those sausages, they are awful, get some proper vegan ones instead and maybe some mushrooms and how can you charge the same price as a full English with bacon etc. £9.95 was a rip off for the vegan version!

Nice place around the hostel and for a walk. There is a waterfall at the top of the mountain and some of the way is too narrow and you have to climb the stairs without the support. The whole hostel can be booked and you can utilize a full hostel. The road hard knot pass is a bit scary but thrilling. But you cannot use it when the weather is bad / snow conditions .
