Staying in English independent hostels, bunkhouses and camping barns is a great way to tour England on a budget. Self-catering accommodation with stays as short as one night enables couples, individual travellers and families to experience landscapes as varied as the North Norfolk Coast, the Lake District and Cornwall right up to Northumberland. The cities are also well provided for with boutique hostels and backpackers providing great value city centre accommodation. English bunkhouses and hostels also provide ideal accommodation for groups, particularity those looking for outdoor activity breaks, with sole use of large kitchens and dining rooms. There are nearly 200 privately run English hostels in the Independent Hostels UK network, providing accommodation in England’s classic countryside, National Parks and historic towns and cities.
