+ The quality of the room was good: the beds were quite loud when moving around but were otherwise comfortable. The room came with a sink which was nice and clean. The room itself was also clean and well maintained. The staff were also really nice and helpful: we arrived late to our booking but were swiftly checked in regardless. We also had trouble finding the hostel due to a mapping error so we contacted the hostel and were given easy-to-follow directions that allowed us to find free parking on the property.

+ Good access to Grasmere village - we had a cycling event planned, 5 mins to the village pubs, shops, hotel bars etc. Car parking was free for guests which was good.
− Car parking rather limited but allowed to park up the drive way with a van so turned out ok. The hostel needs a sign post at the bottom of the road where it turns off from the village, difficult to find and sat nav very vague. We asked for directions from the Co-op.
