Black Sail YHA ^Featured

Black Sail Youth Hostel is a legend, famous for being a remote and isolated shepherd’s bothy at the head of Ennerdale, accessible only on foot. The location provides great access to the surrounding fells: Great Gable, Pillar, Red Pike and Steeple to name a few. It’s on the Coast-to-Coast walking route and is renowned as a base for enjoying the mountains of the Lake District.

Due to poor reception YHA Black Sail is a TV free zone. There are no electric sockets or electrical items in the kitchen and mobile phone coverage is very limited. No credit card facilities at the property. Meals should be booked at least two weeks in advance but prior notice would be appreciated - meals are from a 3-course, one-pot menu. Special diets can be catered for if informed in advance. Drinks are available during reception opening times and only alcohol purchased from YHA may be consumed on the premises. Bedrooms, shower and toilet are all accessible from outside - bring a torch and light outdoor footwear.
