Title: Haggs Bank Bunkhouse [ nenthead ]
Post by: Andrew Farrow on Aug 28, 2014, 09:23 AM
not " new " - its been open a while - but a definite alternative for a nenthead trip

sleeps 24 max in 3 bunk rooms

pros :

new

very good showers :)

closer to the nent mines [ hagg gill adit is built into the side of the bunkhouse :)]

tents / caravans / motorhomes [ with electric hook up and a foul water dump point ]

kit washing trough


cons :

no proper drying room - this is the most serious " flaw " for a mine explore trip

quite small lounge [ the conservatory is large - but its got plastic chairs ]

£18 / night bunkhouse [ tents are £9 ]

location :

adjacent to the A689 [ alston > nenthead road ]

poast code : CA9 3LH
