A large group of American folk dancers came to stay at this hostel during May and early June 2005. Set in the beautiful hills and dales of Yorkshire it was a great spot to use as a base to see the countryside. Hiking trails, bluebells and many wildflowers, lovely trees, walking areas, small country store in town....6 miles to larger grocery store in Northallerton. Need to have a car handy to see the local attractions and sites. Hostel was very clean, great showers with plenty of hot water, good security, keys and locks, well equiped kitchen, and also served breakfast and packed lunches for a low price. Comfy bunks, rooms had bathroom and sinks...some had showers. Could purchase beer and wine at the hostel. Staff VERY friendly and accomodating, especially Melissa. Would go back and stay again.
