YHA Coniston Holly How - Hostel  

In the heart of Coniston village, this hostel sits steps from the John Ruskin Museum and within a short drive of Lake Windermere and Coniston Water. Perfect for backpackers, families and campers who want quick access to the Coniston mountain range and Lake District trails.

Housed in a 150‑year‑old Lakeland slate country house, the place blends traditional character with simple, communal living. There are nine guestrooms with shared bathrooms, a communal kitchen, a terrace and a garden. For a wilder night try the woodland camping area — Landpods with two double beds or tipis with a woodburning stove.

Bar, restaurant and a coffee shop keep evenings lively. Relax in the communal lounge or browse the library. Other highlights include bike storage, a picnic area, children's playrooms, a communal living room, terrace and garden, plus free self-parking. Wake up to mountain-morning views and step straight onto local walks.

Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property. Free self-parking makes it easy to reach nearby trailheads and local meetings.

On-site bar and restaurant serve hearty pub-style meals and local ales. A coffee shop/cafe offers snacks, and continental breakfast is available daily from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM for a fee.
