"I just wanted to say what a lovely stay I had. The homemade food was well above the standard I would have expected and the relaxed and cosy atmosphere (facilities and staff included) made it so welcoming. The location is obviously outstanding, but you do more than rely on the surroundings, which is what makes all the difference. Thanks again for a great stay and I hope to see you again in the future.

Exploring specific subjects from Derwentwater Independent Hostel
For groups who want to study a particular subject (usually Key Stage 3 and above) we have developed information sheets for a range of subjects. Each sheet provides relevant local information and links to useful resources. We hope these will help you to plan your visit. Depending on staff availability we can also write and deliver activity plans for specific topics.
