Yha Dufton Hostel - Appleby-in-Westmorland

Warm welcome and great location

Great location in the heart of a charming village, the hostel had friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The building was historic and well-maintained, with plenty of showers, hot water, and clean restrooms. The breakfast was delicious with good coffee and generous portions. The packed lunch was also a highlight, perfect for a long day of hiking.

Parking was a challenge - despite being promised a spot there were none available upon arrival. The lack of clear signage made it hard to find the building at first.

We stayed in a hostel situated at the heart of a picturesque village with a beautiful view of the garden from our window. It was just across a lovely pub ideal for dinner. We enjoyed our breakfast in the conservatory. the hostel was a good alternative as all hotels in the nearby Lake District were fully booked. the staff went above and beyond with their friendly and helpful service.

The mattresses were uncomfortable and led to a restless night of sleep.

We stayed in a lovely village, with an amazing view of the village green from our room. We were directly opposite a cracking pub that served excellent food. the conservatory where we enjoyed breakfast had a stunning view of the surroundings.

The bathrooms, although reasonably clean, could do with some updating.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was simply breathtaking, with views across the village green to the stunning north Pennines. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making sure that my every need was met. The room was spacious and luxurious, with all the amenities I could ask for, including a powerful shower and comfortable bedding. I also appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, complete with basic supplies in case I forgot anything. The garden was a lovely place to relax, and I loved being able to sit and eat outside. the comfort and quality of this hotel were top-notch.

I highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Located in a peaceful area with a beautiful garden for children to play. Self-catering facilities were adequate and not overwhelming. Friendly and helpful staff made the check-in process smooth. The hostel was clean and well-maintained. Great option for those seeking a quiet and relaxed stay.

Great facilities, supper club, comfy bunks, good location, value breakfast, clean showers.

All was good.

Great location in the heart of a charming village with good local pubs and easy access to the Lake District. Clean and well-facilitated hotel with friendly and helpful staff, free parking and tasty breakfast options.

Nothing it was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay at YHA Dufton during our journey to Scotland. The location was perfect for breaking up our trip, and the friendly and helpful staff made us feel welcome. The hostel had a peaceful atmosphere with stunning views and a family-friendly garden. We loved the unique touch of the felted wall hanging by local school children in the conservatory where we enjoyed our delicious breakfast.

Would recommend this hotel.

The hostel itself is located in a picturesque village, surrounded by beautiful hills, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The bed was comfortable and the duvet and pillows were in great condition.

The access to nature and local wildlife is fantastic in this remote location. Being able to immerse myself in the countryside with great walking and cycling paths was a definite highlight. the facilities available for meals and cooking were really useful and saved money on eating out. Finally, the overall value for money was excellent.

My room was not the cleanest and I found some dirty bedding upon arrival. I couldn't get to sleep right away as the bed was uncomfortable and the pillow was too thin.

I recently stayed at YHA Dufton for one night and it was a wonderful experience. The location was breathtaking, nestled in the hills and providing a peaceful and quiet atmosphere for a good night's sleep. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and our host went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, even preparing our breakfast to our preference. The facilities were clean and comfortable, and the option of a vegetarian breakfast was a pleasant surprise. I can't wait to return and explore the beautiful walking trails nearby.

Couldn't recommend this hotel more!

Lovely location with views of the North Pennines. Well-stocked kitchen, clean facilities, and comfy beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful garden and bike shed available. No wobbly bunk beds or smelly toilets.

Good value for money, clean facilities, friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful location with peaceful surroundings. Comfortable beds with new pillows and duvets. Would happily return, especially now that we know how to find it.
