We were on a five day trip canoeing on the river Wye, setting camp each night, when we came across the Ye Old Ferrie Inn and discovered a bunkhouse right on the river bank.

Family Weekend int’ Derbyshire Dales & Peak District
Our family weekend in the Derbyshire Dales was action packed, we cycled on the High Peak Trail and Tissington Trail, visited Arbor Low, slept in a Reckoning House, discovered a lost river under Lathkill Dale, lunched at Uncle Geoff’s and visited to the Heights of Abraham by Cable Car.

Family holiday around Orkney on the Northern Isles
We travelled to the Orkney Isles with our two girls (aged 9 and 10) during Easter 2010. We went far enough North to experience the Northern Lights, two ferry journeys, loads of welcomes and some lovely moments. Far enough to realise that Orkney is not the top of the UK as I thought but the middle of Britain, Shetland, Norway and Iceland.
Remote Holidays
Because of guests who enjoy remote holidays independent Hostels thrive in locations which would not be viable for holiday cottages or hotels. These remote hostels occupy historic buildings often with very few services, preserving shepherd’s cottages, lighthouses and farmsteads which would otherwise be left to decay.
Group Hostels
Groups seeking value accommodation will find a huge variety of places to stay with the Independent Hostels UK network (IHUK) of over 300 houses, cottages, camping barns and bunkhouses across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Family Holidays
The hostels ideal for family holidays are ones with family rooms and large shared areas. A family room can have a combination of bunks and beds and sleep between 3 and 8 people. It provides a place of security at night-time and yet the kids have all the fun of shared gardens and playrooms in the day.
