Long established and much loved Youth Hostel

Kettlewell Hostel in Wernside House in the centre of this picture postcard Yorkshire Dales village was opened in 1943. It replaced Kettlewell Old School Hostel which had been running since 1933. In 2002 as a measure to keep the hostel viable the village post office was relocated to the hostel. In 2015 it moved to private ownership, operated under the Enterprise scheme and joined our Independent Hostel network.
