View hostels & bunkhouses by region
There are an increasing number of village halls offering accommodation, which is great as they are usually run for the community by the community. Offering bunkhouse/hostel style accommodation or sometimes just a floor to lay down sleeping matts, village halls are popular with all manner of hostellers. From big weekend groups in need of budget accommodation to walkers on a long distance route. Found in some of the most stunning locations the UK has to offer, what’s not to love?
Village halls and community run accommodation
Village Halls becoming accommodation is a relatively new phenomenon. However it makes perfect sense, they have large spaces to sleep in, toilets, a well-equipped kitchen, and heating. When you think about it they are much easier to convert than most barns. A lot of the village halls remain as halls used by the locals and welcome travellers who are passing through for the night. They resemble camping barns, but with the bonus of a kitchen and a more central location. Most villages will have shops to resupply you for the next leg of your journey.
The village halls are usually run by the community and using them as accommodation is a way to raise money to keep the building useable as the heart of these small often rural communities. The halls aren’t just for those on long-distance walks, they are perfect for weekends or nights away with friends and family. By their very nature, they have a large communal space. Perfect for catching up with people you haven’t seen for a long time and enjoying the company of friends.
Stay in a Village Hall
Be ahead of the trend and stay in one of the ever-increasing number of community spaces opening their doors to visitors and stay the night in a comfortable, warm well-equipped hall. Sometimes the best surprises come from where you least expect them.
