Kirkby Stephen Hostel

A lovely bunkhouse to sit out storm Floris and let our tents and gear dry out. Comfortable bunks, clean showers and really pleasant communal space in the old church. Denise, the owner was very friendly and the place had a very relaxed vibe. Would recommend.

The hostel provided a really warm welcome . Clean tidy and is well served by very friendly staff. Great value interesting building great location in the town. Good recommendations for local eateries and other shopping needs and places to visit.

My one night stay I was only there a night but used kitchen facilities shower etc all seemed clean and working. I really feel the cold so delighted to find heater in my room if I needed it. Denise was welcoming when I arrived and checked in the next morning with everyone in dining room to check things ok .

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.

We booked the hostel through *********** as a 4-person shared room with en-suite facilities. The arrangements for getting in were good without any issues, however, when we arrived the rooms en suite were partially complete. The bathroom floor appeared to have the floor covering removed with the remanence of the contact adhesive still on the wooden floor. The shower was without a shower curtain and the area was without a door so that the en-suite could not be used while other party members were present. I contacted the Hostel to politely ask if there could be a reduction in the fees as it was advertised as an en-suite when it obviously cannot be used. I didn’t receive any response so took this up with *********** who replied saying that the hostel would not review the cost as they feel that it was an appropriate amount for 1 night (£170.00). Sadly, we will not use the hostel again, but we advise any bookers to check that the rooms are as advertised and not amid refurbishment.

Legendary friendliest service that the north is famous for is on show here in bundles! From being greeted until the time we left we were looked after and treated as if we were in a 5 star hotel. Denise, the owner, could not have done more to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I can recommend this place enough. Thanks for all you did Denise.
