“fantastic budget family break in wonderful surroundings”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

Just got back from a wonderful couple of days at Holly How Youth Hostel with my husband and three kids. The hostel is nice and spacious with a lovely lounge - ideal for sitting round the fire in the evening - and also plenty of board games to borrow. The TV is in a separate lounge which is nice - you can choose to watch or not.

We ate our evening meal in the hostel and it was delicious with more than ample portions and lots of choice!! Self catering facilities were also good. Hostel staff were friendly and helpful.

The family room was nice and clean - lovely and quiet overnight. Once we'd arrived didn't need to use the car again until we left as there is plenty to do locally. We visited the Coniston museum (well worth a visit especially if you are interested in Donald Campbell) and had a fantastic winter walk in Yewdale as well as walking in the village, beside the lake etc. There are also a couple of good village shops nearby. Highly recommended, we can't wait to visit again.

“excellent week in coniston”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

I had a very enjoyable stay at this youth hostel, the food was extremely nice and as a group we never didnt have enough to eat. The room were very clean and I had a goods night sleep every night I was there, as well as this the showers and toilets were very clean. The hostel is in a great location to take part in lots of activities as its only a short walk from lake Coniston. This hostel provides a warm enjoyable enviroment that I would recommend to anyone.

“excellent review”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

The food was amazing and we had plenty to choose from. The location it self was very good, located in a little town with plenty to offer. Also, it was a very clean and friendly area and the youth hostel itself was very similar. I would love to go there again in the future.
