Which way will you
go first?
York, Stratford, Malham, Ca
nterbury and
Ambleside are all having a
brand new look
and feel – without comprom
ising the original
charm we all know and lov
e.
Meanwhile, we’ve acquired
another
breathtaking location in the
South Downs.
We’re spending over £10 mi
llion on our new
and improved hostels offeri
ng even more value,
more things to see and mo
re things to do, all in
unforgettable surroundings.
York never
looked better
From the outside, Victorian
grandeur.
On the inside, a blend of cla
ssic
and contemporary.
Our renovation isn’t simply
rearranging
the furniture, but rather a com
plete
£2 million makeover – from
the locallysourced stone flooring of our
entrance, to
the dramatic new courtyard
, to the
fully-refurbished rooms and
en suites.
And just a short, scenic wa
lk to York city
centre. First-class accommo
dation to
match the dazzling locatio
n.
