Our hostels are perfect places to gather this autumn. Let us provide the perfect setting for you to reconnect.

Gather in a group

Bikes in the autumn leaves in Cambridge UK

We are the perfect stay for your cycling club, walking groups, youth clubs or photographic society. Enjoy exhilarating adventures, activities designed to challenge, motivate and inspire, and chances to get enveloped in the great outdoors. We offer more than just a bed for the night, we’re in locations where you can explore the world around you and build memories that will last a lifetime.

No matter what your group is coming together for our diverse network of properties throughout England and Wales ensures we’ve got a hostel that’s ideal for you. Stay in a genuine Norman castle, a stunning Victorian mansion, a beachside retreat in an old smuggler’s cove or a mountainside base 1,000 feet above sea level, and all at great value prices you can trust. Find the perfect stay for your group.

Exclusively yours – hire the whole hostel

YHA Black Sail exterior

Have the place to yourself, celebrate big birthdays with the whole family and gather in a crowd in one of our hostels.

Now’s a great time to book a self-catering break to reconnect with family, friends and the great outdoors. With a range of hostels to choose from, we have a variety of properties available from secluded country lodges and lakeside manors to cosy coastal cottages, we have unique and extraordinary buildings in spectacular locations.

Host a club in your local community    

YHA Castleton Losehill Hall meeting room

We have tentatively started reconnecting with our hobbies – choirs are starting to sing, book clubs getting together to discuss the latest tomes and knitting needles are starting to click clack once more. If you need a venue for your club then why not pick one of our hostels and hire one of our meeting rooms.

Whatever your needs, YHA is open for all, we are part of your community so why not come and use us? While you’re there, have a coffee and a cuppa. Take a look at our great meeting spaces.

Connect with nature and heritage

Stony Path in the Lake District

Our hostels are set in glorious locations, in the countryside, by the sea and in major cities. So there’s something for everyone.

Take a family trip to York and walk the roman walls, clamber up a crag in the Lakes and admire the stunning landscapes and local wildlife, take a boat out and go seal spotting when you stay in Norfolk, go solo stomping through the Peaks and make new friends in the hostel, couple up and spot butterflies on the South Downs. With so many of our hostels located in National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty there is so much to explore. Gather for a holiday, plan your autumn trip.

Plan a wedding

Say I do in one of our beautiful historic properties.

Nestled within woodlands on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, YHA Okehampton Bracken Tor is set within four acres of landscaped grounds. Ideally situated within walking distance of Okehampton town, this venue is great for those looking for something special.
