Accessible Accommodation in Hostels and Bunkhouses

Independent hostels and bunkhouses have a variety of levels of access for the disabled.  Often there is a bedroom or toilet designed for use by a disabled person, with some hostels being accessible throughout the building.

Traditionally all accommodation with some level of accessibility was included in the guide with a wheelchair symbol.  From summer 2021 onwards we are only using this symbol where we have full information on the accessibility, as well as pictures.

Accommodation with accessibility details are shown on this page with links to the information.  Some are fully accessible but others with different levels of accessibility are also included for those with less complex physical requirements.

We are adding new places everyday, so keep checking back for updates.

We recommend that you talk directly with the accommodation staff to make sure that your needs can be properly met.
