YHA Coniston Holly How

One of the most disgusting , gloomy and disturbing places I’ve ever been. To start off they happen to turn off the heating when the staff leaves at 10pm, and it gets FREEZING cold. We booked for two nights, we fought through the cold for the first night, but we had to leave before 12am on the 2nd night , couldn’t make it till the morning in a freezing cold room. It was absolutely freezing and with my condition I was coughing up a lot trying to sleep in the cold. Secondly , the showers were built like damn coffins , dirty and old. And the bathrooms felt like the door could’ve broken down any time , you could hear everything that someone was doing behind there with those old ripped doors, like what type of privacy is this? And just saying for anyone who wants to get here, then photos you see that they posted are all faker than you can image . None of the rooms even look close to that . They are old, with ripped walls, no proper heating, mattresses that felt like rocks and I’d be here all day saying it. And mentioning it again , we HAD to leave a whole night early because it was freezing and we didn’t want to die . Word of advice, if you want to go on holiday or something, don’t choose this ******* house cause it be straight outta a horror movie .

Fabulous location with easy access into the mountains. Well maintained and food and service were excellent. Parking on-site is limited, but the helpful YHA staff will advise on very local alternatives.

On this visit I used one of the camping pods in the grounds of YHA Holly How, I not only found them to be very comfortable but very spacious for my needs. With full access to the facilities within the hostel as well it made for a very enjoyable visit. If you want somewhere to stay within the Coniston area that will give you a good base for your visit without breaking the bank this is it.

Fantastic location. Clean comfortable affordable rooms Helpful, friendly and efficient staff Would definitely stay again.
