Small Hostels: Small hostels, bunkhouses and bothies in Scotland, England and Wales

Small Hostels are perfect for those wanting to travel as a small group or a family wanting somewhere affordable to stay. Whilst some of them are group only most offer accommodation to individuals prepared to share facilities with others. All of these hostels sleep 10 or less with some as few as 4 people in total.  There are small hostels in the Independent Hostel Guide across the country, in England, Scotland and Wales.

But what makes a small hostel different from a holiday cottage? Well, most are available to individuals including Dacres Stable Camping Barn, Shepherds Crook Bunkhouse and Bunkorama so whilst there may not be many of you, you can still have the full hostel experience of meeting new people in communal areas.

All our small hostels have well-equipped kitchens, comfortable bunk beds, and hot showers and some have wood-burning stoves. Maentwrog Bunkhouse & The Wild Wool Barn are newly renovated farm buildings sleeping 4 and 6 respectively in bunk rooms. Maentwrog and Middle Ninfa Bunkhouse  are located on a working farm.

These hostels may not sleep many but they are far from small when it comes to space both inside and out – with many having outside BBQ or firepit areas. As often quirky, always stunning, locations to stay where not so many people have trod the path before you they are second to none.
