As active outdoor people and ex world back-packers we understand what
budget accommodation travellers and active outdoor people wish to find at
the end of a hard day. Our new hostel was designed on personal experience,
not on what other people provide. The luxury hostel has been awarded a
Four Star grading by the English Tourism Council, so you can rest assured
that is is clean, comfortable, warm and has a plentiful supply of hot
water. There is even a sauna available for those tired aching limbs after
a hard day's physical!
Yes, hostels are changing. Gone are the days of large dormitories
with inadequate facilities and having to do the jobs requested by wardens.
Our new hostel does not have young school parties (unless they book the
entire hostel) so your rest should be assured. As the hostel is small, it
is absolutely ideal for individuals, small groups or large groups who wish
to book the entire hostel (24 beds), or for friends who just want a
bedroom and bathroom to themselves. Our maximum bedroom size sleeps 6 and
the smallest. sleeps 3, (although when we are not busy we can let this room
for just two people). The flat rate is from £19.50 per person for
individuals and small groups in 2012. Prices for the whole hostel bookings vary
according the number in party, number of nights booked, time of year and
which days of the week you wish to stay. |
