Group accommodation on Helvellyn
A stunning location for a 28‑bed Lake District bunkhouse!
A perfect place for your group?
28 beds in 4 rooms + 5 bathrooms + little quirks and luxuries
A Lake District hostel / bunkhouse for people that don’t want to slum it – no school like changing rooms here!
Half (well a third to be honest) way up Helvellyn, 1.2 miles from Glenridding & Ullswater
Great bunkhouse in an amazing location - the perfect spot for a weekend away with our running group. Communication with Jon (the owner) was fantastic too
We had a fabulous weekend at Almond Lodge a group of 30 with 5 families and 15 kids. Kids loved the table football and massive beanbag in the map room. Wood burner in the lounge is really nice as well.. Really nice finish in all the bathrooms and throughout even a drying room. Location is a bit special too right at the foot of the mountain.
I’ve used the lodge 3 times now. The location is perfect to be used as a base for multiple trips around the area. The path outside leads straight to Helvellyn via the edges, or a more grounded route via the zig zags. Another path takes you to sticks pass and towards the Dodds. It’s close to Ullswater for boat tours or hiring of canoes.
The lodge itself is huge inside, plenty of beds, and bathrooms, a games room, and plenty of books.
WiFi is fantastic, and kitchen big enough to feed an army of hungry mouths.
I'll be going back as great value for money. Great for charity events or business away days.
Best place to stay in Glenridding! Amazing facilities and located on the way up to Helvellyn! We really appreciated the map room with the extra hikes around the area. Will likely book again in the future!
Once again, thank you we had an amazing stay, and everyone loved the lodge it was even better than we were expecting. It definitely was not the perfect weather but still we managed to get some great walks in. It really helped that we were staying halfway up the mountain!
Huge thanks for your lodge, our group had a great time and to be honest it is the best bunkhouse we ever experienced for a climbing/mountaineering trip! (The dishwasher and rice cooker were very much appreciated)
