The drive from Cockermouth was exceptional beautiful views of lakes and mountains. It felt as is time slowed as I drove along meandering, avoiding the sheep grazing along the road. This is a place I will visit again. The hostel itself is perched on a hill overlooking the lake. Like any hostel the sleeping dorms are functional and adequate. However the staff and the broad wealth of people you meet there make the holiday complete. ##### Colette Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin 11 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Buttermere YH Really good stay , could do with more sockets in bedrooms ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1534-p61f95dd0-6d6f-11e8-991c-0242a8c09ebc-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kevin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sooty, Southsea 25 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic location - 5 mins to the pubs and a view dtraihht up to Red Pike .... ##### Sooty Stayed 3 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 21 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent stay at Buttermere YHA Excellent stay at the youth hostel. A very warm welcome was received after a long day running in the Lake District. Great selection of food and drink with really friendly staff. Rooms comfortable and clean. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark, San Francisco, CA 15 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A worthy choice in Buttermere This is a hostel but it is fine for what we wanted. The room was simple, sink and beds. It was clean, the bedding was more than adequate, the showers were warm and clean, the W.C was always clean. There was a handy kitchen with a nice view. The sitting room was nice. There was a washer which soap was supplied, and cleverly, the furnace room is used for drying clothe which was quite effective and ecologically reflected clever thinking (saves many mega-watts). This is a nice hostel. ##### Mark Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Great location. Location is great: in the centre of everything - trails and lakes. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pauline, UK 22 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### great hostel in a perfect area A first class hostel, with all amenities. A useful notice board showing bus time tables, taxi numbers, weather conditions etc. Very clean throughout. Quiet in the night time, which was great for me as I needed to wake up very early for sunrise photography. This is only the second hostel I have ever stayed in and I will certainly be staying in more hostels in the future. ##### Pauline ### 10/10 Excellent #### wendy, manchester 5 Sept 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### close to scarfel pike We were a party of 5 adults , we booked this place due to it being near scarfel as we were walking this on the Saturday so only needed one night accom. We could not have been more pleased with the place , we had the 3 course dinner which was a great welcome to us all , very tasty and even served up to us by the staff. We had the breakfast in the morning too which was also great value for money and very appetising. The whole place is spotlessly clean with ample showers and toilets etc and comfy beds too . The staff work very hard and are all very pleasant and very helpful too . Only problem is you have to get there early to get a parking place but if you can't park here you just need to drive about 200 yards up the road to a little parking place at the side of the church. Very quite and out of the way but does have two really nice pubs a short walk away . ##### wendy ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The New French Partridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-The-New-French-Partridge.h2288818.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Wheatsheaf, Baslow by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-Wheatsheaf.h12323109.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [Fisherman's Cot, Tiverton by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tiverton-Hotels-Fishermans-Cot.h11900175.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Pinewood Manchester Airport-Wilmslow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilmslow-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Pinewood-On-Wilmslow-Hotel-Cheshire.h22074.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bowman by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-The-Bowman.h46162199.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [holidayincumbriacouk - Hiker's Den, Brigham near Cockermouth, Cumbria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cockermouth-Hotels-Holidayincumbriacouk-Caravan-No-5-Brigham-Holiday-Park.h37480766.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Cherry Park Hall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Cherry-Park-Hall.h15952872.Hotel-Information) > > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
