Elterwater
In the Lake District village of Elterwater, the independent Elterwater Hostel offers dormitories and private rooms, with a communal lounge and dining area. Nestled in Langdale Valley, this hostel also boasts free WiFi, home-cooked food, cycle storage and is also just 2 minutes’ walk from the local pub. 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.

Meeting new people, the camaraderie you get in hostels. Beautiful location friendly staff and excellent full English breakfast!
very cheap independent hostel in a beautiful large house in a beautiful quiet location, a wonderful retreat and for roaming the lakes. incredibly cheap.
Great location, no frills. Paid as much as I would for a hostel elsewhere in the lake district but had the benefit of my own bathroom.
Great host, excellent breakfast, very clean room, comfortable bed and great location. Safe and secure parking.
Best hostel kitchen I've ever seen, and just £2.5 to do a large load of laundry
You never know with a hostel but this one is very clean, the shared showers and toilets are cleaned on a regular basis even though the YHA was fully booked. The room itself was good as well with a sink. Great location at the lake! The guys at the reception are very friendly and helpful.
Great location, friendly staff, nice and warm during a very cold spell. Lovely bar/cafe. It's a youth hostel, so hardly luxurious accommodation, but it was clean and comfortable and exceeded my expectations. I loved the sound of the river flowing by.
Great location. I was able to park easily , a big bonus in the Lake District. The Hostel location was perfect to be able to start walking from. Solo traveller and felt very safe here, friendly and helpful staff . Great kitchen and shower facilities. nice and clean . I had shared female dorm , and I requested the bottom bunk and my request had been granted. I would definitely return here.
