Facilities

Kitchen

Full cooking facilities are provided for our guests in our spacious and newly fitted modern kitchen. Available to use are an oven, hob, microwave, toaster, fridge and all the pots and pans you could need. The use of these self catering facilities can be an excellent way of making your holiday budget stretch a little further. Free tea and coffee is available.

Lounge

The comfortable lounge area has enough seating for all of your group to relax and unwind in after a hard day’s activity in the local area. If you’re looking for a night in we have a large screen TV for all to watch as well as a selection of board games for guests to borrow. Books and maps are available to help plan what the next day will bring, along with the notice board which provides up to date information on the hostel and local events.

Free WiFi

WiFi is available in all areas of the hostel and this is completely free for our guests to use. As of 2021 we have run extended ethernet cables throughout the hostel, greatly improving the speed and connectivity of the WiFi!

Individual USB charging points

All dorm beds are equipped with individual USB charging points. You can easily charge your phone next to your bed while you sleep.

Group Bookings

Wayfarers hostel is an excellent place for groups to stay who are looking to travel together. We can accommodate groups of up to 17 and are happy to hire out the entire hostel on request. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information and group rates. For the comfort and enjoyment of all our guests we do not accept stag/hen parties. We welcome quiet groups only, and expect all our guests to respect that noise levels must be kept to a minimum between 10PM-6AM.

Garden

There is outdoor seating available for relaxing in our private garden when the sun is shining. This can be easily accessed from the dining room. Also outside are bike racks for temporary storage and a hose pipe if the day’s activity has left you and your bike a little muddy! Directly across the road from the hostel is a grass area for guests to use if a little more space is required.

Bike Storage

If you’re cycling the coast to coast or just on holiday with bikes, we have secure indoor storage available for all bikes in our cellar. This is easily accessed straight from the garden making it convenient at the end of a long day’s cycling. Bikes can also be locked individually and locks are available from the reception desk for a small deposit. There is a maintenance area with a selection of tools available and a sink for washing muddy boots and equipment.

Drying Room

Also located in the cellar is the drying room. There are racks for boots and gear as well as hangers for jackets and pants so there’s no need to put wet gear back on the next morning!

Electric Vehicle Charging

We are now able to offer electric vehicle (EV) charging to our guests for a single flat fee per night. 

Our Rolec 7kw charger will easily fill the battery of your EV overnight so you'll be able to head off and explore the area, or continue your journey in the morning. So while your car recharges on our driveway, you'll be able to 'recharge' yourself in our comfy beds. If you would like to take advantage of EV charging during your stay please get in touch as we will need to organise parking on our driveway in advance.
