About YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe gives the village an important lower-cost accommodation option in an area dominated by hotels, guesthouses and holiday cottages. Set in wooded grounds off Easedale Road, it is particularly well placed for walkers heading towards Easedale Tarn, Helm Crag and the surrounding Central Fells.

The hostel provides a mix of shared and private accommodation, with family rooms, a shared kitchen, social space and on-site facilities aimed at walkers and groups. Its format is simpler than a hotel but can make Grasmere much more accessible for solo travellers, families and visitors prioritising location over luxury.

Room and bed availability varies considerably by date, especially during school holidays and walking season. Check the YHA and Booking.com listings for current room types, meals, parking arrangements and any membership or booking conditions.
