"...we have always had the warmest of welcomes and been treated as special guests. Kathy and the staff are wonderful and cannot do enough for us - and after a day's walking, we are always treated to wonderful meals. You cannot ask for better. Barrow House has got to be one of the best Youth Hostels in the Lake District, if not in the North of England"

Andy Eddison, Scout Leader, 265 Sheffield Scouts' walking trip, Easter 2012.
