-great value restaurant (three courses for £11.95)
-bar with two local ales on tap, a fire and a nice atmosphere
-parking spaces
-good showers and toilets
-self catered kitchen with plenty of pots, pans and plates
-great setting

Disliked: No complaints; the only thing is that it's a little walk from anywhere else so only option is to eat in if not driving,

Liked: The staff at the hostel were all very friendly and helpful. Excellent facilities- food was lovely in the restaurant and lovely atmosphere in the bar. Not a long drive from Keswick and pubs very close to the hostel.

Disliked: Only negative was the weather! Would consider staying in the hostel next time instead of camping.

Liked: The location is perfect for all standard of walkers.Very peaceful and relaxing right next to woods & river derwent, in middle of walking routes, 30 mins away from keswick town. Easy access to public transport, pub within walking distance. Staff really helpful, facilities very clean. Good for tent users we were able to use selfcatering kitchen,toilet & wash facilities & drying room, we made use of the onsite bar & games room for our 10 year old.

Disliked: Campers toilet could do to include a mirror & socket for hair dryer. With pitches being none electric there is no where to plug in even if you had to pay a bit extra this would be helpful. Also should put a ban on BBQ's our tent got burnt thanks to next door neighbours. Pitch quite rocky.
