ACCOMMODATION
We've booked Hawes End Outdoor Centre exclusively for AAA this bank holiday weekend. The hostel is a beautiful, large country mansion set on the western shores of Derwent Water, just outside Keswick. Its peaceful location makes it an ideal base for exploring many of the area's finest peaks, and there's a ferry jetty nearby for easy access to Keswick town centre.
Rooms are single-sex, mostly sleeping 6 people, with one room for 8.

FOOD
All meals are included and prepared fresh on site—our famous AAA home cooking! We always offer vegan and vegetarian options.
Feel free to bring your own alcoholic drinks and snacks. There's no need to budget for eating out; everything is covered—no restaurant trips or pub meals required.
