In these hostels you’ll never have to worry about going cold. Sitting in front of a nice log burner is surely the best way of relaxing after a day in the elements. Picture yourself, boots off, feet up and maybe a glass of something special in your hand, sharing stories with some kindred spirits. What could better?
It’s always a magical feeling when you enter a warm and friendly hostel after a busy day outdoors. Cold and windswept, you are in need of some serious R&R. You scan the room and your eyes are met with a proper log burner or real fire, roaring away, naturally heating the room or even the whole hostel. You know you are in for a good evening so sit back, relax and let the warmth wash over you like a wave of comfort and peace. Log Burners make any hostel feel like a home away from home.
A quick change later and you’re sat in front of the glowing log burner. Slowly melting into your seat while you swap stories with the other guests. All warm and cozy. There’s just something about a wood burner that makes a living room all that more inviting, especially as the colder nights set in. There is something special about sitting around a real fire, it’s a tradition that even our ancient ancestors would recognize instantly. A fire makes you feel safe and secure and separated from the cold, dark winter nights. They are a great way to dry wet socks and boots after a day out and putting on a warm pair of socks is one of life’s simple pleasures.
Log burners are a much more eco-friendly way to heat a hostel than gas or oil. Wood is a low-carbon fuel source that is cheaper and renewable.
The hostels on this list all are equipped with log burners or real fires. You can be safe in the knowledge that it’ll be nice and toasty for the duration of your stay.
