affordable accommodation in
4-bed dorms,
family rooms, twins, a

the trees.

views over Hebden Bridge to
Heptonstall, Stoodley Pike and beyond.
We're close to long-distance
trails - Pennine
Way, Calderdale Way and
Hebden-Haworth - and
just a stroll
away from Hebden's
river and
canal, unique shops
and cafes, and great
music venues
such as the Trade's Club.
The hostel is within walking distance of renovated
Gibson Mill: a
flagship eco project with visitor centre and cafe,
powered by solar, hydro and biomass, and set in 400
acres of
wooded valley at Hardcastle Crags.

Our
Holidays:
The

reopens for the Easter
Holidays.
Whole
Hostel Bookings are possible
during the closed season.
Accessibility:
We
aim to improve accessibility and disabled facilities in the future...
- Parking
on the lower car-park is available by arrangement. From the lower
car-park ramps lead to our Patio, Living Room and wheelchair-accessible
toilet.
- Our
Ground Floor Double/Triple Room is directly opposite the
wheelchair-accessible
toilet.
- The
shower and toilet in the bedroom are not large enough to
accommodate a wheelchair.
- The
kitchen door is narrow (57cm), therefore the kitchen may not be
accessible for all.
- Our
risk assessment and evacuation plan, produced with help from
the fire department, mean that anyone unable to descend stairs
unaided may not book into an upstairs room, and anyone unable to
evacuate from a ground floor room unaided must be accompanied by a
carer.
Extra

Evenings - Sometimes
we

Everyone who wants to join in eats together in the Big

We can usually arrange feasts on request for groups of eight or more
