YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe

the hostel provided all the amenities to make our stay comfortable - from a self-catering kitchen to laundry machines. The location was also near to the Grasmere village.

臨時中轉過夜的酒店，就在主路上下來就到了，停車場很大，方便停車！前台也有很多旅行小冊子供住客取閲，推薦入住！

2 nights camping on the lawn of the hostel with full use of the facilities via key card access to the buildings. Friendly, chatty, helpful staff with everything you’d expect from a YHA hostel in a superb location. Well maintained and clean throughout.

Good location for this side of the lakes. Not as much character or homely feeling as some of the best YHAs. Nothing wrong with it, just not the best. Noisy fan in the bathroom that wouldn't stop all night.

I visited YHA Grasmere as wanted to stay the evening as was pressed for time, I was informed the location was booked for a private function I asked if I could use the toilet quickly as desperately need to relieve myself, the female reception rolled her eyes at me and did not appear to want to even allow me to use the toilet but did, I used the toilet and when I tried to wash my hands, the tap came off in my hand, It was broken and had been placed precariously on top, there was no sign not to use it or to inform that it was broken, I washed my hands but would not turn off the tap so reported it to the reception who again rolled her eyes and said "you turned it on?" She seemed annoyed that I had done this, I told her "well yes, I used the toilet and wanted to wash my hands" she walked off in a huff and I left, I will NEVER return to this YHA and would definitely NOT recommend this YHA to anyone, the receptionist attitude did not reflect well on YHA and was a very Stark contrast to YHA Borrowdale

YHA Grasmere is a lovely place to stay in the lakes. Fantastic location, just a few minutes walk from town, but it could be in the middle of no-where. Tranquil and beautiful. The staff are all incredibly friendly, helpful and caring. Breakfast is very good and an excellent evening meal. I booked a private room, which was large and the bed was comfortable. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Will definitely be back

I was stuck with my bike around 10 pm at night when I realised I went to the wrong hostel so i needed some advice and a place to stay ! I was tired and stressed about my journey. I found this hostel and I decided to try and see it they can give me a place to stay . I met this blonde lady at the reception quite miserable. Since I came in she had no empathy at all. No smile ,nothing. I asked her if she had a room and how far it was the original hostel I was suppose to go (Hawkshead) she said she was fully booked and the only place she had was a £170 bed .Long story short ,she recommended me to cycle 20 miles at 10 in the evening to get to my hostel (still same association Yha) what a kind helpful woman working in customer service. Definitely not her job. I understand not everyone likes everyone but if you do that kind of job you expect at least some kind of help in some way.

Came up for a meet up with friends for some walking on the surrounding fells. Arrived about four and the carpark was full and like an ice rink. Waited a few minutes and thankfully some day walkers on their last day came and took their cars away. Checked in and happily I was in the main house. The rest of the group was already there and so it was odd for drinks and food. It's been a few years since I've been to this hostel as my Wainwright journey has had me in different areas. Looks like the communal areas have had a fresh paint job which has brightened up the building. Had breakfast twice which was excellent. Made my own on the last morning and the smaller kitchen was in desperate need of a mixing bowl. Other than that no issues. All in all a great stay and I look forward to another visit in March. Hopefully room 7 is my room again on that visit.

The hostel seemed to have had a makeover and was in great condition. Staff were friendly and helpful. The drying room was a bonus as the weather was very wet, It's in a lovely spot for some great walking.
