About Us

Our
Purpose
Our aim is to give young people, community organisations and other groups the opportunity to experience the Lake District together in affordable, practical accommodation.
What makes Bury Hostel different?
Exclusive use for your group
When you stay at Bury Hostel, your group has the whole building to itself. You will not share the accommodation, kitchen or communal areas with other visitors, giving you the freedom to organise your stay in the way that works best for your group.
A memorable Lake District setting
The hostel is situated at Greenside, near Glenridding, with views over Ullswater and the surrounding fells. Its location provides an excellent base for walking, outdoor activities and exploring the north-east Lake District.
Designed for groups
With accommodation for up to 30 people, a large kitchen and spacious communal areas, the hostel is particularly well suited to schools, youth organisations, community groups, walking clubs, families and groups of friends.
Practical, affordable accommodation
Bury Hostel offers straightforward, self-catering accommodation without unnecessary extras. Groups can prepare their own meals, plan their own activities and enjoy the Lake District at an affordable cost.
Accessible ground-floor facilities
The ground floor provides sleeping accommodation for two guests, together with an accessible toilet and shower room, helping groups with differing access needs to stay together.
Run for the benefit of its guests
The hostel is operated by a registered charity and managed by a voluntary committee. It is not run for private profit, helping us keep the accommodation affordable and maintain it for future generations.
Open to groups from everywhere
The hostel was established primarily to benefit young people and community groups from Bury, and these groups continue to receive priority. However, bookings are welcomed from groups throughout the country.
