Overview

Peacefully located in the North York Moors National Park, this refurbished North Yorkshire hostel is a former school with many ‘green’ features – perfect for a relaxing holiday or cheap family break, safe in the knowledge that you’re staying in an eco-friendly environment. The hostel itself is located in the rural village of Lockton, offering picturesque countryside, quaint cottages and historic buildings including a 12-century church and castle ruins.

Nearby is Levisham station, one of the stops on the North York Moors Steam Railway, great for access to linear walks over uncrowded moorland. The line goes direct from Levisham to the historic seaside town of Whitby with stops at Newton Dale Halt (ideal for walkers), the beautiful village of Goathland and peaceful Grosmont along the way.

Cropton Forest and Dalby Forest will keep walking and cycling holiday enthusiasts happy. Meanwhile, stargazing enthusiasts will find plenty to see within the heart of the North York Moors National Park – one of only 21 International Dark Sky Reserves in the world. The market town of Pickering and coastal favourite Scarborough are nearby too!

This hostel is available on an Exclusive Hire basis only, so you'll get the entire place to yourself.
