At Borth Hostel it’s all about taking the strain away from the teachers.

At Borth Youth Hostel, everything is geared towards taking the non-teaching load off teachers, so they can focus on delivering a relaxed educational experience. We provide risk assessments, paperwork and flexible, school-led planning — we ask what you need and work with you to make it happen. We’ve been supporting school groups for over 10 years, with many groups returning year after year.

Hosting Schools from Across the UK and the World

We regularly welcome school groups from all over the UK — and from further afield, including New Zealand, the USA, Germany, and France.

We accommodate students of all ages, from Year 2 to university level, for a wide range of educational and enrichment experiences:

  • Life skills and independence

  • Environmental awareness

  • Geography fieldwork (GCSE & A-level)

  • Marine biology

  • Sporting trips, outward bound activities, watersports, and Duke of Edinburgh groups


A Unique Outdoor Classroom

Located right on Borth Beach, the hostel offers a natural, immersive learning environment. The ancient petrified forest, revealed at low tide, provides unique opportunities for studying marine biology, coastal geography, and environmental science.
