DESCRIPTION OF DUDDON SANDS HOSTEL

Purpose built in 2005 The Duddon Sands Hostel stands in the grounds of The Ship Inn. It offers low cost, high quality accommodation for people who like to spend their days getting muddy and wet, but still want to be warm, dry and comfortable at night. Being adjacent to one of the best and friendliest of the Lakeland village pubs has obvious advantages when it comes to the evenings and our guests are tired, hungry and thirsty. With the exception of the beer garden, both the pub and the hostel are entirely no smoking.

The hostel has a large car park with a hose to rinse equipment down, and bike storage can be arranged. From the car park a door leads into the hostel giving access to the drying room and the male and female shower rooms, ensuring that any mud stays downstairs. Upstairs are three bedrooms. Two sleep four people and one sleeps eight, all in solid wood, hand made bunk beds. A travel cot or bed cot-sides are available for little guests. All bedding is provided but you will need to bring your own towels. Outside the bedrooms is a landing/sitting area with views over the estuary through floor to ceiling concertina-opening windows (for the summer evenings). A door leads from the landing into the beer garden of the pub which is equipped with patio heaters, beautiful views and a Wendy House for the little ones.

Breakfast is served in the pub from 8am onwards. Please arrange a time through the bar staff. There is a choice of a cereals and toast breakfast, or full English. Evening Meals and hot drinks are available in the pub. We serve a fabulous home cooked menu catering for special diets if required. Food available up till 9.30pm. Packed Lunches can be requested at the bar.

Our staff includes outdoor pursuits enthusiasts who can advise on local mountain/road biking, fell/road running, canoeing, climbing, ghyll scrambling, parachuting, fishing, fell walking & other activities. Qualified guides & instruction can be organised with prior notice.
