Independent hostels are great group hostels
All independent hostels are great group hostels with prices from around £10 per person per night. The group hostels can be located in remote rural areas, ideal for special interest groups such as walkers, cyclists, climbers and those going in search of local wildlife; others are on the coast and some in city centres for heritage breaks.
Group Hostels generally provide self-catering facilities with large dining tables and cooking equipment ideal for group catering. Some are designated for groups only and specify a minimum party size, these may also have a fully catered option. Some Independent Hostels are outdoor centres in their own right or a large house operated by a trust. At these centres and also at other smaller hostels, organised activities, generally in outdoor or eco areas are often available. Group accommodation centres can have up to 90 beds, often with dormitories, but many hostels sleep 20 or 30 people in a selection of 2-6 bed private rooms.
