Hearing the sad news of the closure of Derwentwater Independent Hostel, we would like to thank the trustees and employees of this amazing charity. Their hard work and investment rescued the hostel from closure when it was sold by the YHA and extended its life by a further 12 years. This has produced an amazing impact on the lives of many young people over the last 12 years, and given the rest of us an opportunity to stay in this grand building, an iconic hostel.
