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.

Family Holidays at Independent Hostels
Family holidays using family rooms are available from the Independent Hostels UK network (IHUK) of over 300 houses, cottage and barns. In addition to the privacy of a multi bed room (sometimes with a double bed, often en-suite and ideal for any family size) they provide self-catering facilities, dining areas and other social areas where the kids are welcome to play.
Sleeping in Unusual buildings
Several members of the 300-strong network of UK Independent Hostels occupy unusual buildings that used to be something else. These include lighthouse keepers’ cottages, railway carriages, schools, Methodist chapels and a courthouse. A large number have also been converted from old farm buildings and barns.
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.
Walkers Accommodation
The Independent Hostels UK network (IHUK) of over 300 houses, cottages, camping barns and bunkhouses across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland offer great value walkers’ accommodation. They provide self-catering, drying rooms and are generally set up with the outdoors enthusiast in mind. Suitable for singles, couples and groups seeking friendly, clean and inexpensive accommodation without membership requirements.
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.
Bird Watching breaks
Independent Hostels, Bunk Houses and Camping Barns are useful resources for bird watching breaks – not only do they offer great value, but are also in many of the quieter remote areas and they particularly welcome bird watchers.
