The Girlfriend and myself were planning on going to for a weeks riding/climbing next week, and thinking of the Lakes…

Anyone come across some bargain accommodation that they rate?

Have a look on ebay – honest – you might get lucky

Stayed in the YHA in Keswick next to the river once which was pretty good, reasonably priced and has a kitchen lounge etc

Didn’t stay long it was only an over night stop off in the way home from the ‘puffer.

Camping barn in buttermere.

How about a Yurt ? My mate has some in the North Lakes and then also in Langdale too…

Take a tent and pick a campsite?

I like camping, we do it a lot, but the weather is looking a bit mixed, and a cottage will be much more comfortable for a week of riding, some of the clothes might even dry….
the 5.10s not so much

eBay is a good shout, hadn’t considered it.

Depending on your budget. I’ve stayed here before and loved it.

Just got back from a weekend here, just north of the National Park but very reasonably priced for luxury cottages and a very well run place…

Dalegarth Guesthouse in Buttermere is very reasonable for the Lakes. Not stayed there but met the owner the other night and he seemed a really nice guy.

Denton House bunkhouse in Keswick.
Waterhead YHA in Ambleside.

Google Sally’s cottages – Derwent Dale or Cherry Pip both look decent and under £400. Plenty others.
