It was located in a wonderful area. Stuff were very helpful and friendly. I particularly like that this hostel is an independent one.
A bit old. That is at the same time also very nice and authentic.

From the first moment the gentlemen at the front desk helped me checking in early, I much appreciate that as I was moving from place to place and 3 hours prior to official check in he checked me in. That was already a huge favour. Throughout my stay the property was spick and span high quality cleanliness in the showers, toilets, rooms. I can only highly recommend it!!! Walkers, tourist, cyclists, fell runners etc. it's a nice, calm, quiet place to relax, walk, etc...
Wasn't such a thing. Ohhh I forgot the FREE tea and coffee, anytime you like. So NO NEGATIVES whatsoever!!!

The bed was very cosy exactly what you’d need after a long day hiking. The on-site breakfast was nice. Would def love to have dinner too as the menu on board looked so mouth-watering. Staffs super nice!
The location is quite good actually - just 3min from the nearest bus stop. However, do take the whole travel time into consideration. Transferring between buses takes very long waiting time. It would be so frustrating as normally you’d assume at least one hour more to wait for the next one if having tragically missed the former. My case- took a wrong direction but jumped off as soon as i realised. Still missed the right one though. The next one was two hours later. Do not even think about Uber which just not working in the Lake District

A delightful find. Wonderful staff with a real community-minded approach. I didn't order the breakfast but when I saw it, I wished I had.
The dorm was noisy but that was no fault of the establishment.

Nice and clean hostel close to beautiful hiking.
The light in the bathroom turned on automatically when entering it and shined in the room in the middle of the night when everyone was trying to sleep.

Andy and Charlie were incredibly friendly and helpful. Felt very welcome and at home here. Facilities have everything you need, wifi is pretty good for the isolated location, and the breakfast is top notch too!
The bunk beds aren’t super comfortable, but you know what you are signing up for. Overall, i just feel it’s a shame I didn’t get to stay for longer than 2 nights!

Excellent facilities, nice and clean, beds comfortable. Perfect location.
There were no lockers or anywhere to store bags/clothes so we had to put them under the beds. It said free parking but you had to pay at a nearby car park. Thankfully someone gave me a ticket they no longer needed so I didn't have to pay.

I had a great stay at Elterwater Hostel! The staff was extremely friendly & welcoming and the Hostel itself is a lovely place.
There is a big common and dining room, which is very cozy. The kitchen is very spacious and well equipped. It is also very clean (haven't seen anything comparable in any other hostel so far), so are the rooms and bathroom facilities.
All over, I would really recommend Elterwater Hostel and would love to come back anytime!
Also the breakfast is really good!
The Hostel is also very well located. That means if you aren't traveling by car you can still easily reach many hiking destinies, which are either directly around the corner or just a bus ride away. There is a bus stop within two minutes walking distance of the Hostel.
