Hawkshead village, known as the prettiest village in the Lake District with clusters of whitewashed houses, is just a mile from the hostel.

The hostel is a beautiful Regency mansion with stunning grounds overlooking Esthwaite Water. This is a great base to explore the beautiful village of Hawkshead, Beatrix Potter�s Hill Top, Grizedale Forest and the southern fells.

Family-friendly and in a glorious setting, this grade II listed Regency style building overlooks tranquil Esthwaite Water. Great for walking and cycling, nearby Grizedale Forest also offers some of the country�s best mountain-biking. Explore the surrounding Beatrix Potter country from here too, plus there�s easy access to the southern fells and Lake Windermere. Enjoy good food and local ales in the hostel�s comfortable restaurant.

Our rooms are in two buildings, one of which has 24 hour access once check-in has been completed.

Please note, we do not charge an additional temporary membership fee. Discounts are not available for members of YHA (England & Wales) or IYHF as part of this booking
