Proving really popular this year, but still with some vacancies, are the two self-contained chalet rooms in the quiet surroundings of the North Pennines

Offering a rural retreat well away from the tourist hotspots, Hen House (double room) and Veg Patch (double/twin/family of three) are getting great reviews. And they take dogs by prior arrangement. Plenty to explore in this lovely area with Hadrian’s Wall not far away.

Ninebanks Youth Hostel now offers four self-contained accommodation units, new terraces and a firepit at the front for outside socialising, and every room is en suite*

Ninebanks Youth Hostel is offering  new separate wings in the main building, which alongside the chalet rooms give a choice of four self-contained units on site.  “Immaculately clean….warm welcome…. quiet spot that is great for walking, cycling and unwinding” was our first review of 2021.   Every room now is now en suite (*one shower room is two steps away across a landing).  It’s peaceful here in the North Pennines.  Hope to see you soon.

Ninebanks Youth Hostel in Northumberland is right on Isaac’s Tea Trail, a scenic 36 mile circular route. And now, thanks to Greener Miles Running, you can run the Trail in an ultra marathon event.

Isaac’s Tea Trail, a delightful route in the North Pennines, is steadily growing in popularity. Here at Ninebanks Youth Hostel we’re pleased to be partnering Greener Miles Running, whose environmental ethos so closely matches our own. So if you are fit enough and don’t have the three days or so it usually takes, then how about the ultra marathon event on 7th August? You’ll find it at https://greenermilesrunning.co.uk/isaac-tea-trail-running-race We’ll be manning a checkpoint at the hostel, and there’s still some availability for staying over in the hostel and chalet.
