Our carpark is now a pay for parking facility, this is due to various issues of concern and antisocial behavior which has been occurring regularly on our property. This has meant additional measures have had to be put in place.

As the system works on ANPR cameras please remember to pay on exit at the machine or online within 48 hours of leaving else you will unfortunately receive a fine. There are signs around the carpark reminding you of this.
The charges are reasonable at £1.50 for up to 2 hours and £3 for up to 5 hours which is the maximum stay, these apply all the time.

We understand this will upset some locals but please try to understand the severity of the concerning behavior has made it an unavoidable measure. Its not been done to make money or inconvenience people and we hope you can understand this.

Guests and customers at the hostel will receive free parking and we will take your number plate upon arrival.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Cafe whilst we had the opportunity to open to the public between our group stays. We loved opening our cafe up to you all and we are hoping to do it again soon.

As many of you are aware, we are a hostel and we host a variety of groups. A group can be defined as 16 or more people. It can be a school group, sports team, university study group, a large family gathering, Church group, in fact anything you want it to be, the list is endless. If you have a group and want to use this amazing venue to celebrate an occasion like a wedding or a birthday or even just. chill out with friends, then make an appointment to come and see what we can offer you. We have 23 ensuite bedrooms and beautiful grounds. You can have staff prepare your meals or you can cater for yourselves with your own kitchen.

Thank you all again for your support and any public openings will be announced!

You might not know that we are actually a charity! Every time you donate 25p whilst paying for your coffee on a friday, every time you visit us and buy a book from our bookshelf even everytime you donate for access to our laundry facilities you are helping us give children experiences and opportunities through overnight stays all over the UK. Last year you raised £1002.25 and helped our hostel provide fully funded nights away for 10 children! Thankyou for all your help and we hope your generosity continues!
