YHA Hawkshead

Yha Hawkstead is a great location for a camping trip. There is a massive lawn area to camp, with several small wooded areas around the site for privacy and to let the children explore. Well equipped site, with heated outdoor toilet/shower blocks.||Inside the hostel maintains much of the gradure of the past, several big rooms for children and families to use. 2x games rooms, a big self cook kitchen, two big dining areas. ||Parking is good and only a mile away is Hawkshead village with various shops, pubs & children's park.||The hostel offers a range of indoor/ outdoor accommodation as well as pitch up camping.|We will be returning.

Great value for money with lovely views! We had a great stay at the YHA – definitely value for money. The view from the property is beautiful and made the stay even more enjoyable. The play area was quite busy, but there was a good variety of games available. We especially loved playing table tennis! The kitchen area was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. Would happily stay again.

Great beautiful site especially for camping. But wished they didn't change the code to enter the building every day or without informing us. The reception is only on certain time. So we were left outside trying to enter the building for our stuff in the drying room for quite a while until we see another human being in the building 😅 toilet and showers were great tho. Food can be improved, was super basic dry burger.

My wife and I stayed for four days, in two different rooms (our fault, long story!). Hawkshead YHA is in a fabulous location and a beautiful house. All the bathrooms and toilets as well as the shared kitchen and dining areas are superbly clean and well maintained. The kitchens serve cooked meals for breakfast and dinner, both of which are great value and high quality. The only thing I couldn’t get to work was hot water in the morning in the main house, otherwise everything worked well. The staff work so hard and yet stay cheerful and helpful. Can’t wait to stay again.

Set in the mountains, this place offers a beautiful natural setting with well-equipped facilities. It’s ideal for families or groups of friends, with many toilets and showers, and cooking options. Highly recommended.

I went for 4 days in the cockerhoop cabin. It was nice room and had an extention cord. There were 3 single beds and 1 double bed, and the site is really good. The dining room is nice and the kitchen is very useful.

Great place. The main hostel building is a lovely old house, with games rooms and lounge area, spiral stairs, and dining area. The courtyard at the back has another games area and all set in beautiful grounds. All the amenities you need for a great family break. Stayed two nights and would come back.

Another great stay at the YHA, great location and amenities. Good welcome from the staff as normal and helped with anything we needed. Appreciate the good food on offer and the bar that is now available. Well worth the visit and stop, whether you choose the main house or various tents, tepee or yurts.
