YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe

This is typical YHA grand building with enthusiastic helpful staff. Lady checking us in really helpful as we were hiked in and wanted a rest day so we could also see Grasmere. She made an effort to juggle stuff so we could. Pizza were really nice. Place clean and tidy. Tom checking on guests very pleasant. YHA does have camping but only limited to 5 pitches. Walking tents could get more, so not sure on how much discretion. Overall lovely stay.

We tented here 1 night while on our Coast to Coast Hike. This was a really interesting hostel. The building was really unique and had a great seating room. The tent sites were very clean and level. We ate dinner here. It was kind of basic, cheeseburger and fries. But it did the job after a long day of hiking. The host was very nice and kind, even though he was running the whole show by himself because his help called off sick. I would recommend staying here if you get the chance. Really nice place.

Great stay at YHA Grasmere. Check in was great, easy and friendly. The hostel is a good size, large sitting room and restaurant area and space to sit outside. The self service kitchen was very small but clean and adequate. ||Stayed for two nights in a two bed room. There were plenty of clean toilets and showers just outside our room. ||We ordered food, pizzas were large and yummy and priced well at £10.49. Served hot with friendly service. ||The hostel is only about 3 mins walk to the centre of the village of Grasmere. Plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops, including a co-op express open until 10pm. ||I would highly recommend this YHA.

We arrived to Grasmere after a shortish hike from Ambleside and were let in slightly early which was nice. The location was very nice if a bit sheltered from any great views by the trees. Sadly, our room overlooked the car park rather than the forested areas and therefore was a bit sad in that department. The food was tasty and service was fast, the rooms were clean but annoyingly had chargers above the bed with no where to put your phone while it charges, however this correlates with most YHA. All in all, for a YHA it was very nice! Would recommend and probably will come again.

I spent 4 nights camping and, despite the weather, my stay was memorable. Tthe facilities and staff were excellent. I loved the atmosphere and friendliness of the place, and, of course, the location was superb.

Experienced a great weekend in Grasmere, easy to find, easy to park and our room with 3 bunks was all the you expect from the YHA. We paid for a full breakfast both mornings and the service and food were spot on.

Great Grasmere location. Two very hard working staff keep it happening. Second time we stayed here, first was several years ago. Could use a little sprucing up these days.

Had an amazing time staying at YHA Grasmere in February. Not only is this one of the best locations to base yourself to explore the lakes in general, but the staff are amazing and always on hand to help and support. Food was excellent throughout the week. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. An absolutely excellent week, thank you to the staff at YHA Grasmere.
