We have parking for seven cars at the hostel if they all breathe in, however there is plenty more parking in the village.

Excellent Hostel I have stayed here a couple of times. The owner is very welcoming and friendly. The hostel is clean, it has stacks of books, and excellent kitchen and dining room. On my last visit a cosy wood-burning stove lifted the temperature of the lounge!

Great independent hostel Great independent hostel, Floss and Saul are very amiable hosts. Good food (homemade marmalade's & yogurt) and a selection of local bottled beers. Hostel also contains a used bookshop. Good times, I will be back - thanks

A great option A really good option in what is generally an expensive area. It is an Hostel but does have some private rooms and meals are available. The owners are super friendly and have created a place with great facilities. A great kitchen if you wish to cook for yourself. And nice dining and lounge areas. Shared showers on the upper floor are excellent.

Dales way stopover Floss and Saul are really friendly and welcoming, the food is fantastic and surroundings very comfortable, it’s the perfect stopover for walking the Dales way or just visiting the area, Kettlewell is a beautiful village too.

The best YHA in beautiful countryside with great walks and a super place to stay. The best YHA! So welcoming, clean yet homely and the owners Saul and Floss are experts at treating each customer individually. I haven’t been here for about a year but felt immediately at home and relaxed. Had three lovely days walking in beautiful surroundings, managing to avoid the rain too. Recommend this independent hostel to anyone. It seems to attract very pleasant folk too, so good conversation flows - if you want to engage with others. Enough areas to ‘get away’ if you want peace and quiet too. A very pleasant resetting which was much needed. Thank you

Een heerlijke plek om te verblijven! In augustus was ik met 2 vriendinnen in Kettlewell voor een singer songwriter cursus en we verbleven in The Kettlewell Hostel. Wat een heerlijke plek! Hele fijne hosts. Goede stapelbedden/matrassen, schone douches en toiletten (wel zelf je handdoek meenemen), heerlijk eten (incl goede lunchpakketten) en een prachtige tuin om in te zitten. Ook in de eet- en de woonkamer is het goed vertoeven met een uitgebreide boekenkast. Een echte aanrader!

Singing and Walking in the Dales during the Scarecrow Festival I booked the hostel for a group of singers from The Netherlands for a week of workshops and walks. Its a perfect location and excellent service from Floss and Saul. Food is great, beds are comfortable and the whole week went perfectly. It's a home from home, highly recommend!
