We had a lovely stay in this cozy hostel nestled in a charming town. The location was perfect, with the town center just a stone's throw away. We enjoyed exploring the local restaurants and having a variety of dining options at our fingertips. Our room was comfortable and clean, providing a relaxing space to unwind after a day of adventures. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. The breakfasts were tasty and a great way to start the day. Plus, the hostel had excellent cooking facilities and a spacious communal area for socializing.

There were some minor issues with the showers in our room, as well as another room, but this seemed to be a one-time occurrence due to a boiler issue.

Friendly staff, good breakfast, spacious dining/sitting room, quiet location, convenient internet access.

Close to the Westmorland Dales, a stunning area of wild country. Near town centre. Friendly and helpful owner. Clean and well-maintained facilities.

Nothing to mention.

This hotel was good for my requirements. The rooms, although small, were fine for a night, and I even had one exclusively to myself. The shared toilet and shower facilities were basic but clean, and the breakfast cooked to order was fantastic. The staff tried hard to provide good service, and the lady, although a bit disorganised, was friendly and helpful. The location couldn't be better, right on the coast to coast walk, with plenty of places to eat and drink in close proximity to the hotel.

All was ok.

Great budget hostel, fabulous old church, like-minded people, 100% relaxed, second stay, excellent value B&B room.

Don't have any issues at all.

The converted church is a beautiful building with a huge common area and comfortable seating options. Spotlessly clean and cosy private twin room with comfortable beds. Plenty of toilets, washrooms, and shower rooms with good hot water. Ordered breakfast options available. Would love to stay here again.

Felt like treated like royalty, no reason to complain.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, which was a converted church. The quirky features, like the original pews used as tables, added charm to the communal area. The ensuite shower room in the ladies' room was a great size and felt private. The location was perfect, with plenty of places to eat and drink nearby.

No improvements needed, everything was perfect.

Best aspects

Stayed at a cozy and budget-friendly hostel during my recent city trip. Loved the comfortable beds and the cleanliness of the entire place. Located in a peaceful and quiet area, it gave me the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. Another great advantage is the DIY breakfast option, which allowed me to prepare my meal according to my preferences and requirements.

The hostel had a fantastic atmosphere, with a feeling of peace and space. The location was great, as it was close to both the Lakes and The Dale's, and very near the town center. The well-equipped guest kitchen was a bonus for our Coast to Coast walk. The staff were friendly and welcoming, providing an excellent breakfast and ensuring we felt at home.

Absolutely nothing.

Warm welcome, comfortable beds, intriguing chapel conversion, superb breakfast, convenient location, large kitchen.

Nothing, all great.

This hotel couldn't be better, slap-bang on the coast to coast walk. The location is fantastic, with plenty of places to eat and drink in close proximity to the hostel. The rooms are fine for a hostel, with good facilities and information. Plus, the breakfast cooked to order was fantastic, with conversation with the hostel owner.

All was fine, no major issues.
