Great budget stay
Excellent budget stay. I was the only person in an 8-bed dorm, and was one of only two people using the communal facilities on the night of my visit. Excellent hostel facilities and good systems in place.

A clean, comfortable hostel in a former chapel.
Spacious lounge and kitchen area in the former chapel. Nice rooms and sturdy bunk beds that don't rattle when you get in and out.

Atmospheric, welcoming and clean hostel.
Great hostel- very friendly helpful staff. It suited us as a family very well, we stayed for 3 nights in August. The large communal room was great, with room to play board games (provided or our own). The hostel was very popular with walkers, it would also be great for youth/ kids' groups. We would choose this hostel again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This is a very large, functional ex-chapel, situated perfectly for fast food or groceries, and lends itself very well to being a hostel. The kitchen is well equipped. It is tired in decor, but it’s more than comfortable, and its price adequately reflects this. It even has its own drying room for the wet days. Very friendly and helpful duty staff member.

Return to a hostel we went to after first being converted from a chapel, and was then part of the YHA. Showing its age a bit now, but still an enjoyable stay.

Couldn't check in til after dark. Awful service.
When I arrived at 8:15pm there was a note saying I should call a mobile number. I rang 5 times over a two hour period and left voicemails but I didn't get a text with the door code until after 10pm. I had to sit outside in the dark and entertain myself in this time. Phone signal isn't a problem in Kirkby Stephen, I had full 4G signal so this was totally inexcusable and it wasn't even like I arrived especially late. This was the worst service I've ever had at a hostel and I've stayed in lots. If you get allowed inside it's quite nice. It's an old church which is interesting. Shame about the terrible service.

Great location, great value!
A great place to stay if your on a budget. Denise the owner couldn't be more helpful, she even sorted us a safe place to park our motorbikes overnight. I will certainly stay again in the future.

Really friendly owner. Great communal spaces - kitchen facilities were particularly good. Bunkrooms fine - basic but clean. Thoroughly recommended.
