YHA Slaidburn
Overview
A sometimes forgotten part of the world, the Forest of Bowland AONB is a stark yet stunning landscape.
Formerly the Black Bull pub, King’s House - also known as YHA Slaidburn - is one of YHA’s oldest hostels and has plenty of rural charm. This rustic home-from-home makes a comfortable base for ramblers and cyclists alike.
You'll find plenty of local shops and services nearby, and our cosy hostel sits in the centre of the village, near to an excellent pub. YHA Slaidburn has no phone signal or WiFi, so its the perfect location if you want to escape from it all!
This hostel is available on an Exclusive Hire basis only, so you'll get the entire place to yourself.
