YHA Hawkshead

A bit remote from the Hawkshead bus station(25 minutes walk), enjoyed the view on the way though. Limited sockets in the room. Great kitchen and dining room. Helpful and warm staff.

This was a unique experience of nature with the tent house. As a group of friends we enjoyed our stay here. They provided us with wood to burn as a bonfire and also the tent had a small burning unit. This was our first time with this type of experience.

Myself and my partner stayed in one of the premium bell tents, we were greeted kindly at reception and given all of the handy information needed! The tent itself was really spacious, bed were super comfy and had plenty spare blankets for the cold (as there was only 2 of us in a 5 person tent). There wasn’t WiFi but the data signal was completely fine and would definitely recommend taking a fully charged laptop with films download or a portable DVD player if wanting that kind of entertainment! There were a group of boys in the text next to us that were pretty loud but it didn’t bother us at all, weren’t causing any bother they were just lads having fun. But definitely something to consider if it’s something that would annoy you! Only thing was that the tent itself had no way of locking it (when camping we would usually padlock our zips but for safety) but that didn’t make us feel any less comfortable again just something to consider if that would bother you! The kitchen and toilet area were left super tidy and there are toilets in the building if you’re not wanting to go outside. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!
