Families
- Excellent self-catering facilities
- Private & family rooms
We understand better than anyone the
implications of travelling with young children. That is why we are
doing all we can to make your hostelling experience memorable for
all the right reasons.
Children and families are welcome at all our hostels, although we
have highlighted a number of hostels within our network as
being “Family Hostels” as they are particularly well-suited to
travelling with and entertaining younger children.
Family hostels not only have private rooms available, many
with en-suite facilities, they also carry practical items such as
travel cots, high chairs, microwaves and toys. In addition there is
normally a TV and games room as well as extensive private gardens
on site where the kids can let off some steam. Close to great
attractions and activities, these family hostels offer a great base
from which to explore the area. Our helpful staff are a great
source of knowledge on places to visit and things to see and
do.
Hostelling is a very friendly and relaxed way to travel and
our ethos actively involves children.
