Yealand Old School is intending to close over the winter for a substantial refurbishment of the bedrooms, likely to be shut from 31 Oct 2018 through to 1 May 2019.    After refurbishment the accommodation will have 3 rooms with en suite bathrooms and  a large space with mattresses for groups.  The large newly refurbished communal kitchen will suitable for group catering and the space ideal for youngsters to expand into on a wet day.

Part of the Quaker heritage of Yealand Conyers, Yealand Old School is at the heart of the village, the landscape and local history. The  village is right up in the far north of Lancashire, relishing its proximity to the Lake District, The Yorkshire Dales and The Forest of Bowland. The bunkhouse at The Old School is in the heart of the village in the Arnside and Silverdale AONB.    It is ideal for refugees off the M6,  Lejog (Lands End to John O Groats) cyclists,  youth groups and  extended family group holidays.

Yealand Conyers is not just in the heart of a lovely landscape but also of history too. In 1652 the Quakers were formed locally – hence the area is called ‘1652 country’. It is owned and run by the local Society of Friends (or Quakers).  It is a simple, wholesome, ethical and welcoming group hostel. If you are looking for accommodation for your group to experience the history or the unparalleled local landscape, Yealand Old School could well be it.
