Have stayed here twice now, found the staff to be nothing but friendly and accommodating. Great local knowledge and will always stop for a chat. Clean rooms, brilliant location in case you fancy a cycle up Wrynoss and Hardknott Passes 😁 would highly recommend

Its over 50 years since I stayed in a hostel, so a bit apprehensive, regarding our 2 night stay. However from the moment my wife and I arrived, could not have been more delighted. The Elterwater Hostel, is wonderfully located near the centre of the...More

Went on a trip here as part of a friend's birthday - the staff were great and very helpful and the place itself is great. The hostel is close to the Brittania pub which was a bonus! The self-catering kitchen was really well stocked and...More

Thanks for the great review
Indeed... after a scorching summer, everything has returned to 'normal' and the drying room is in regular use again!

The hostel is located in the peaceful village of Elterwater, in the Langdale valley, 15 minutes drive from Ambleside. The area has many walks for people of all abilities, from gentle riverside meanders to the …Morechallenge presented by the Langdale Pikes, Bowfell and Scafell. There is a local Co-op in Chapel Stile and a choice of pubs locally. Banks, shops and other amenities are available in Ambleside. The area is also a favourite for both on and off-road cycling, rock climbing and many other outdoor activities. An ideal overnight stop on the Cumbria way. The hostel is an ideal venue for individuals, families, outdoor groups, schools and college trips. Less

Hi Emma
Thanks for your interest in the Hostel.
There are a number of options to travel by Train or Bus/Coach from Manchester to Windermere or Ambleside in the Lake District. From there the best way to get to the Hostel is to take a short ride on the No 516 bus to The Britannia Inn in Elterwater which is just a couple of hundred yards away. The summer timetable ( which will show a more frequent service) is not yet available but the winter one to is available on the Cumbria.gov website. I hope this is helpful
