Located in Thirlmere, Fisher-gill Camping Barn offers free onsite parking and a terrace. Set within the Lake District National Park, the hostel is at the foot of the Helvellyn Mountains and just 5 miles from Keswick.

Charming barn converted to a bunk house. Bed was comfy and and the location is great for walking. Facilities have everything you need to rest and prep for a days walking including a well equipped kitchen for storing and preparing food.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I made a heap of friends at this hostel, different ages. The man at the front desk was very friendly. The view was beautiful especially from the kitchen. Great place to stay especially to do the hikes.

    Great location in Glenridding with easy access to start/finish a climb of Helvellyn. Clean rooms, comfortable beds and good bathroom with big hot shower. Breakfast buffet was nice and they have a good bar/casual restaurant attached.

    A lovely hostel with everything you need. Great location although the last part of road was a bit rough. Good value and paying the extra for breakfast well worth the tenner. Staff were friendly and the beer on the bar was cracking. We had an evening meal which was lovely and very welcome on a wet cold evening. Shower facilities lovely and the whole hostel was kept clean. My friend and I had a room to ourselves. Will definitely be returning
