10/10/2011 – For large group booking your hostel was perfect and you were very accomodating! The location is lovely and the hostel is very well kept. Nice easy walk into/back from Grasmere to go out for food and drinks as well. Nobody in the group had a bad thing to say! Many thanks!

We’ve just set up a new on-line booking system that we’d like your feedback on. You can try it to the top right of this page. Just select a check in date and the number of nights that you would like to stay, we’ve suggested two nights, then click search. This should then give you the number of bunks available in each room. If all goes well we’ll be adding this to our website as part of it’s upgrade too shortly.

The booking system is supplied by freetobook.com who first contacted us via Twitter. So far it seems to be a straightforward, yet well organised software application. We’ll know more once we’ve tested it for a while.
