YHA Features

• Other Accommodation

  Depending on your needs, there are plenty of accommodation options available to you.

  Take your dog with you to one of the YHA Camping & Cabins sites — for free if you pitch your own tent or for a small fee if you choose one of their glamping options. All of the sites offer plenty of space in picturesque surroundings, while you will also be able to access the regular hostel facilities.

  Your dog will be welcome in all of the social spaces (excluding kitchens) and cafes too, while you can also take a canine companion with you to YHA Exclusive Hire properties. If you are thinking camping, you can take your own kit or opt for one of their rustic wooden pods, huts or cabins.

  Their all-weather camping barns will allow you to go back to basics, while you can glam it up a little in their premium bell tents and tipis, which are furnished with mattresses, bean bags, tables and rugs.

  If you are looking for a house away from home, their deluxe pods, huts and cabins have bathroom and kitchen facilities. As some of the hostels are in castles and listed buildings, there can be issues with accessibility, though you will find hostels suitable for wheelchair users and people with mobility issues, while you can hire meeting rooms and whole hostels.

• What to Expect

  YHA England and Wales youth hostels have received millions of pounds in investment in recent years to ensure they can be enjoyed by future generations.

  While you will find bunk beds in shared dorms if you like a communal and friendly environment, there are other room types available, including private rooms, cabins and even tipis which offer privacy and a space of your own.

  Whether you are looking for an en-suite double, a private room which can sleep up to eight, a heated bell tent or a camping pod, there is plenty of choice at YHA hostels. Their food and drink offering is also varied, whether it is a breakfast, a packed lunch or evening meal they are preparing.

  They cater for all tastes and dietary requirements, while many hostels include a licensed bar, cafe and restaurant. If you want to cook for yourself, they also have self-catering kitchens in almost all hostels. They accommodate guests of all ages, allowing people to mix and spend time with others they might not ordinarily socialise with.

• The YHA Story

  The very first youth hostel was opened in Germany in 1909 and, following a trip there 20 years later, a small group of pioneers opened the first in Britain.

  The national organisation was established a year later and, by Easter 1931, there were 11 hostels. The fact YHA offered affordable accommodation was an antidote to the poor air quality, cramped housing and harsh inner city life at the time. It provided the working class with opportunities to spend time in the fresh air and open countryside.

  The number of YHA members doubled during the Second World War, while it went through significant changes in the 1980s as the needs of the modern day traveller began to alter. They introduced smaller, private rooms and improved facilities, while they adopted a professional management structure.

  While they have changed with the times, they have always stayed true to their core mission and values, which is to inspire all, especially children, to broaden their horizons and help them gain knowledge and independence through new experiences, adventures and discoveries.
