I had a great stay at Elterwater Hostel! The staff was extremely friendly & welcoming and the Hostel itself is a lovely place. There is a big common and dining room, which is very cozy. The kitchen is very spacious and well equipped. It is also very clean (haven't seen anything comparable in any other hostel so far), so are the rooms and bathroom facilities. All over, I would really recommend Elterwater Hostel and would love to come back anytime! Also the breakfast is really good! The Hostel is also very well located. That means if you aren't traveling by car you can still easily reach many hiking destinies, which are either directly around the corner or just a bus ride away. There is a bus stop within two minutes walking distance of the Hostel.

Honestly my kids were most nervous about staying in a hostel, but we had the most fun from our entire stay (road-tripping throughout the UK). The kitchen was a relief—getting dinner after a long day, or options for full breakfast the next morning were awesome. We spent a lot of time in the game room—and ended up having to buy Clue after we returned home because it was so much fun to just have that time…

It is a wonderful hostel in a fantastic location. There are great facilities; a well equipped kitchen if you want to cook yourself or a restaurant that seemed reasonable but we didn't eat there. There is outdoor seating with a lovely view of the lake. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The shared bathroom was also clean and the shower was big. The staff were super welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. It is great value for money in this area!
