Perfect hostel
really enjoyed our stay here. The dog was wonderful. Even took her for a walk up the hill. She was fitter than us. Brilliant atmosphere. I believe an upgrade was taking place later in the year.
A welcome end to a long hike through the Lake District (via the Cumbria Way) -- or a fun place to begin a hike, the Walkers Hostel is Ulverston's only hostel. We arrived mid-September, right after the prior owners sold it to a delightful young lady and her mother. The hostel manager hadn't arrived yet, but the friendly and accommodating young woman was running the place as if she had done it all her life.
The colorful and attractive building is about a mile east of the town center, right after a roundabout with a Texaco station and large grocery store (Booth's). The Lantern Cafe is in a building next to the grocery store, so if you're on foot, you're not stranded. The path to Hoad Hill Monument is right across the street.
The breakfast/common room opens up on the front patio, which is covered with potted plants and a vegetable garden. The included breakfast is continental, and free coffee and tea is available all day. The dining area is also the common room, so it's easy to run into and/or chat with other hostelers. Because it's small and not located in the town center, this hostel is quiet but definitely not boring. The rambling building is like a rabbit warren, with little rooms and bathrooms tucked along the halls.
There are rooms of all sizes and plenty of bathrooms. Our room (the Yellow Room) has a skylight, which is nice (although a little loud, as it's right off the A59 -- but one always brings earplugs to hostels, right?). Laundry service is available for a small fee per load (with clothes hung out to dry), a very inexpensive luxury after a rainy hike!
