Yha Borrowdale

This is my favourite YHA for lots of reasons and my latest visit proved the point. The staff are welcoming and helpful, the communal bar area is a great place to hang out and the dining area and self catering kitchen are well thought out and equipped. Add to that a great location. It has it all.

Lovely helpful staff. Stunning views and an amazing location. Drying room very efficient and reasonable amount of parking. It’s got a bar and two pubs are in easy walking distance

Good bar area, comfortable beds and (very) warm rooms when we visited in October. Didn't try any of the food, went to a pub up the road instead.

Borrowdale is amazing. This is right in it and great access to fells and walks. Room comfy and clean. Food and bar better than expected. YHA standard levels of service (occasionally variable with inexperienced staff) but this is a superior hostel.

We didn't stay at the hostel but we were guests at a wedding. The hostel is beautifully located and the wedding by the river was idyllic. Great range of drinks available and not too expensive! The food was delicious and if they do cake normally then you need to get some! Beautiful spot for a wedding, highly recommended.

Great hostel. Clean, lots of facilities. Near to many activities.

an amazing YH in an amazing location. The breakfast was very nice and the rooms (bunkbeds) were ok....and what you would expect for the price.

The camping pods were really nice and very welcoming. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were welcoming.

Great friendly staff!!! Look into their king of the castle competition! Definitely a great place to stay. Great stop on our coast to coast hike.
