YHA Wye Valley - Hostel

Ross-on-Wye

This YH takes me back and reminds me of why I love YHA so much. Great waterside location, although tricky drive down if you are arriving by road (nothing Bryan and his team arent aware of and working to remedy). Beautiful house with a small traditional church nect door. Camping bell tents and land pods must be set in one of the nicest locations in the YHA family. The rooms probably need a refresh. Self catering facilities are good and the dining room was fine. Can only talk about the Traditional Breakfast that was great.
Above all what makes any place is the warm welcome received from the staff. All lovely but a special shout out to Bryan who had loads of information to draw on together with his own hand sketched map! Thanks for that mate.
We will definitely be back

Good Old Fashioned YHA

This is the youth hostel to remind you what staying with YHA is all about, great vibe, comfortable rooms living space and facilities in a lovely rustic building set in a spectacular landscape on the banks of the beautiful river Wye. If you know YHA hostels you'll love this one and if you've not tried them then this is a great place to start

Absolute Classic Youth Hostel

We stayed in one of the bell tents which are situated in a spacious green area by the river. Inside the tent there’s plenty of space for 5 beds, with bedding supplied, and nice log burner, with fuel included. There are fire pits (can buy wood) and picnic tables for use outside each tent. Portacabin toilets  and drinking water nearby. You can use all the facilities of the youth hostel a 5 min walk away: hot showers, toilets, tv room, self catering kitchen and drying room. They serve a delicious full English breakfast or continental breakfast, and do evening meals too. Bryan who runs the place is very helpful and I would definitely recommend saying here. There are lots of walks you can do from here and if you have your own canoe you can access the river from the campsite. Warning - the road  through the forest to get onto the site is very steep and narrow, with sharp bends and lots of potholes! 

Lovely location for camping by the river

A lovely old house in a beautiful setting with views of the river Wye and a variety of walks from the hostel.  It was comfortable;  food was plentiful and good quality;  the staff were lovely and very welcoming. 

The one negative is the access road, which is steep, narrow and in very poor condition.  If you are a nervous driver don't attempt it.  There is a small 3-space area on the RHS 10 metres into the access road where you can park up.  It's then a quarter-mile walk to the hostel ..... but far better for the nerves.

Lovely location;  awful access road

Awesome YHA. Loved how remote it was, felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. Great location for riverside and woodland walks. We stayed in a Landpod with our dog and it was so warm and comfortable. All the staff were friendly and polite. Glad to hear the access road is to be improved as this was a rather scary experience driving down in a small car! The only other improvement would be some better loos by the camping facilities. Great evening meal and great breakfast too. Would definitely recommend, thanks for a lovely stay.

Great Location 

I'm really pleased to hear that work on the access drive is imminent as this was the only flaw. Luckily we arrived in darkness as the access driveway is terrifying. It was very atmospheric as an approach with a young deer and mist to greet us. The staff are really friendly, the cooked breakfast spot on and the location is beautiful. We got what we went for: a good value place to stay and a comfy bed before a long walk the next day. The view from our window in the annex was lovely.

Great location

Let's be honest the whole place needs a refurbishment program. There were areas of the hostel that looked well past their best and there was fungus growing in one of the showers. In particular the drive is so pot-holed it is going to damage the shocks on vehicles if it gets any worse.

Lovely hostel and staff, but...

Premium belt tent was clean, comfy, warm
Duvets included. Lots of area for family to play on open grass. Located near a quaint church. Brilliant , quiet location next to river Wye. Plenty of county rambles from the hostel.
Breakfast and evening meals were tasty. Vegan cheese available for pizza.

Spectacular glamping !

This is the second time I have stayed here, unfortunately this time wasn’t as pleasant as the first but this was not due to the fault of the staff. The lack of consideration from somefor other guests was shocking; from not putting things away after use to removing cooking utensils from the kitchen so others could not use them. In addition to the campers who felt it was appropriate to take up the space of 4 tents between 2 tents as they had more than 2 cars between them, cars were not allowed on the field last year and are not at other locations so I am unsure as to why this has changed. Having numbered pitches as they do at other sites would solve this as well as the fact that some people felt it acceptable to pitch on top of other tents. Other than that I have had a fantastic stay

Camping

I've stayed a Welsh Bicknor many times over the last 10 years and it never disappoints. I will be back again soon as it so friendly and such a relaxing environment. and a great place to stay. The river and wildlife of the area just add to experience.
