This independent hostel was created out of five old barns, and enjoys a picturesque setting on the Ridgeway. It contains bunk beds and a few private rooms and is a little spartan but very attractive. There's a lovely wood-beamed tea room, and simple but tasty meals are served for people staying overnight. It also provides breakfast and packed lunches for Ridgeway walkers.
