Lively, retro and full of character, this Scandinavian style retreat is ideal for families and activity breaks exploring the surrounding ridges and fells. Built in the 1970s and with a unique look all of its own. Dorm beds and private rooms are available at YHA Patterdale, not to mention a comfortable and spacious living and dining area to realx in. The hostel boasts sparkling new showers, renovated social spaces and characteristic wooden bunks. There are 85 beds. We offer wild camping with the luxury of a hostel just a few steps away. There is a small river running next to the camping field, which is ideal for launching kayaks as it runs all the way to Ullswater. There is room for up to 10 large tents and several small one-man tents.
