New to us here at Independent Hostels UK but hardly new to accommodating groups, Dunfield House could be your first choice base next time you need to host a large gang. Right on the Welsh border – honestly it couldn’t be closer – in lovely hilly Herefordshire, it has been hosting activities for more than 50 years.
Dunfield House is a 19th century house set in 15 acres of landscaped lawns, woodlands and streams. Great tall ceilings and wide halls, huge bay windows looking out over the grounds. Sounds more like a Jane Austen adaptation than an activity centre doesn’t it? But let me assure you if you try all the facilities in an empire line dress and a bonnet you might get some funny looks.
They are geared towards playing host to huge groups: school trips, youth clubs, church groups, Scouts – that sort of thing. The main house will house 73 and The Stables annex takes 22. Both in clean, modern, comfortable dorm-style bunk rooms. The catering is, by all accounts top notch, meaning someone else worries about replenishing all the energy used on the on-site facilities. A quick list: heated swimming pool, campfire areas, sports pitches, adventure playground, games room. And that’s without leaving the grounds!
If you’re not yet convinced, take a look at their website and enjoy the photos of the glorious landscape.
