YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe - Hostel  

Tucked into the Lakeland village of Grasmere in a Victorian mansion, this hostel delivers classic fell-and-valley views. Dove Cottage and the shores of Grasmere Lake are about a 15-minute walk, Grasmere village roughly 10 minutes on foot, and Lake Windermere sits around 5.6 miles away.

The place mixes a cozy, communal vibe with period charm—think spacious grounds, a garden and a relaxed TV lounge. There are 20 guestrooms, most dorm-style with bunk beds and shower-equipped bathrooms, plus communal living areas and a self-catering kitchen.

On-site highlights include a restaurant, bar/lounge, cafe, games room/arcade, library, picnic and barbecue areas, kids’ playrooms, laundry facilities and a small shop. Free self-parking is available, and guests can wake up to sweeping fell views from the grounds.

Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property.

Enjoy home-cooked meals in the restaurant and a cafe on-site. Full breakfasts are served daily from 7:30–9:00 for a fee, and there’s a dining room plus a shared kitchen for self-catering.
