Sweet old building with a great kitchen, or reasonably priced restaurant if you don't want to cook. The rooms were basic but absolutely did the job. The view out the back is beautiful.

The YHA network is perfectly suited for hikers and more. I was walking the Cumbria Way and decided to stay at this property. It offered everything I needed: a great location, a comfortable bed, access to clean bathrooms, friendly staff, and a self-catering kitchen. Simple, efficient, and exactly what a tired walker needs at the end of the day!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
