Great location, will definitely come again for a hule trip. Had to keep the window open as the carpet was a bit smelly, it could definutely use a cleanup. But ocerall a pleasant stay !

Due to the road closure, we arrived late at night and were not allowed to check in, and we did not refund the money. The service attitude was terrible.

YHA set in a stunning location, basic accomodation with easy access to the Lake District set in stunning scenery.
Good food, friendly staff and excellent value for money.

The property is in a beautiful location and remote. The drive up is not for the feint hearted, but well worth it for the location.

WiFi Basically Not Working (No Phone Signal)
Staff were great and location could be considered good for some as it is located at the base of some of the Helvellyn ascent routes, however, it is also a 25 minute walk from Glenridding, so consequently there are no shops in the immediate vicinity. Staff were great as said, and there is a communal kitchen and drying room, though the WiFi was virtually not working at all, and any little spark of life had to be taken from a very specific part of the ground floor building. Honestly, for the price paid, to not have working WiFi, I would consider it quite the rip-off. The room door was also not functioning properly, and though the bathrooms were clean, and the showers good, it is priced too high for a place without basic 2024 amenities - i.e. WiFi (there is no mobile signal).
