Friendly people, helpful staff, close to sea and rail station. More

great location, a short walk to the beach down a lovely little track at the end of the garden, which has wooden picnic type tables/chairs and looks out toward the water - through the tree's so the water may not be visible from garden when leaves are on the tree's. I hear some rooms have a great view, the view... More

Stayed here for 4 nights towards the end of March & we both really enjoyed our stay!  We were in a double room; it was quirky & comfortable.  There are plenty of benches outside allowing you to sit & enjoy the garden.  The staff were very friendly & generally available to answer any questions we had.   The town of...

I hired the hostel for a meeting involving a group of twenty nature reserve staff from all over the north of England. We all found the facilities perfectly adequate. The attitudes of the warden and his staff were incredibly helpful, and the food was very good in terms of both quantity and quality. All in all the value for money... More

All rooms were very clean and the bedding appeared to be brand new. I slept extremely well due to the peaceful surrounding countryside. The shared areas were nice and large with... More

It is located on the hill, only minutes away from the centre of Arnside - or a 15 minute walk via the Promenade - and the building looks really grand: in fact I initially thought It was a private mansion. It has a big lounge, a TV... More

Stayed three nights - as I needed a break, and I love the area. The hostel building itself is very attractive with large rooms, mullion style windows, and outside walls covered in Boston Ivy, in a particularly verdant garden setting. The hostel caters largely for 'groups', and provides substantial and well balanced meals everyday - though there is a members... More

This lovely Edwardian house has sweeping views over Morecambe Bay and our children really enjoyed exploring the terraced garden. The hostel is in a great location for exploring the lakes, but is an area that is not as over-run with tourists as Winderemere. We stayed in a family room with two sets of bunks and its own sink. There are... More
