YHA Holmbury


Description

Set on the edge of 3000 acres of mixed woodland YHA Holmbury St Mary Surrey Hills is a rural slice of adventure, yet only a stone’s throw from central London. In fact from some of the amazing viewpoints that surround the hostel, including Leith Hill, you can easily see Canary Wharf and other famous London landmarks.

The hostel is the perfect size for school groups wanting sole occupancy. The building provides two floors of accommodation with teacher rooms at the end of each corridor for easy segregation, coded entry for extra security, and a comfy dining room/lounge area. Outside the hostel our fenced off section of lawn comes complete with a story-telling circle that is separated from the Hurtwood Estate by stunning woodland.

For older school groups, or primary schools looking to lead their own self-led adventures, the hostel makes a great base. The location offers a great many opportunities to really get to explore a different setting and complete a range of study areas including Biology fieldwork and film making.

The youth hostel was clean, the staff were friendly and always helpful. (April 2018 - Primary School)




Accommodation was fine and well kept. There was a decline in choice and amount of food provided when compared to previous years. The temperature of the hostel was uncomfortably hot. (November 2017 - Primary School)
