Situated at the foot of Kirkby Fell, and overlooking the Duddon Estuary, the purpose-built hostel with its “en-suite” 17th century friendly Lakeland village pub (built 1691) offers luxury budget accommodation, without sacrificing the character of a traditional Lakeland holiday. Guests can self-cater or eat at the pub which serves a full menu of home cooked meals & a choice of real ales. Easily accessible, just 30 seconds walk from the scenic Cumbrian Coastal Train Line station, Coastal Path, and Cycle Route, the hostel is ideal for cyclists, walkers, train enthusiasts (we are close to both the Ravenglass and Haverthwaite Steam railways), nature lovers and families. We offer a large lockable shed and hose for bikes or other outdoor equipment. We even have our own ghost story!
