Glenridding
Situated in the Cumbrian countryside, conveniently located to visit the Lake District, YHA Helvellyn has on-site free parking and a bar. The nearest village, Glenridding, is a 6-minute drive from the hostel. I emailed saying that we might be late for check in due to traffic. The manager replied promptly and tried to help me if the other YHA branch in Ambleside have an availability. However, there were no availabilities so we did our best to arrive on time. At exactly 10pm, we arrived on the post code but it was not the right place. There were some signal issues but in the end, the manager met us and directed us where to go and checked us in even after 10pm. For this, we are very grateful. 😊

Best hostel I've ever stayed in. Really modern and clean. Bargain for the price
Great location, away from hustle and bustle of central Lake District and short walking distance from the beach. Spacious and well equipped clean house. Extremely safe, small village location.
Great location just below the approach to Blencathra on the A66, cheap bunkhouse rooms so great for a quick stop over or if you’re caught short in the weather looking for a place to stay.
Fantastic location and just how a Youth Hostel should be. The staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful. I had the continental breakfast which well worth the money. Couple of good beers sat outside reading a book was just the ticket.
Very welcoming host , with loads of helpful information. We were 2 couples travelling on motorbikes and on street parking was safe and secure. Shared bathroom excellent for 2 couples together. Breakfast was great Bed was very comfortable, with a great location
First time in a Youth Hostel and I was so impressed. The staff were so lovely and helpful. The setting was stunning and the Bell Tent was amazing. So cosy, and so clean. Beds and bedding really comfortable. Good evening meal and Breakfast. Highly recommend and would love to go back.
great location, very cheap for area
Great location, friendly staff, nice and warm during a very cold spell. Lovely bar/cafe. It's a youth hostel, so hardly luxurious accommodation, but it was clean and comfortable and exceeded my expectations. I loved the sound of the river flowing by.
Great location. I was able to park easily , a big bonus in the Lake District. The Hostel location was perfect to be able to start walking from. Solo traveller and felt very safe here, friendly and helpful staff . Great kitchen and shower facilities. nice and clean . I had shared female dorm , and I requested the bottom bunk and my request had been granted. I would definitely return here.
