Although restrictions are lifted from the 19th July we will continue to offer only self contained accommodation until it becomes safe to open up our shared spaces. We look forward to the day we can again open our hostel to guests to meet and share their stories & experiences.

Due to a cancellation we have last minute availability for this coming long weekend (30th July - 2nd August). Both our new self-contained wings are available. ninebanks.org.uk/accommodation/… Larger groups give us a call as extra bedrooms can usually be added to a booking. #YHA #IHUK

We have a few dates left if you are looking to plan a break this summer... #YHA #IHUK

Most unusually we still have availability for some weekends in May! Get in touch if you would like to plan a spring trip to Ninebanks, but be quick, we expect these weekends to fill up quickly. #YHA #IHUK #NorthPennines #Ninebanks

Thank you. We're really looking forward to celebrating this milestone

Thanks Duncan That's a great photo, there's been so many taken of people standing outside the hostel as they sort their bags, say their goodbyes and set of for their day.

If Ninebanks Youth Hostel was a Top Trumps card we think its super power would be making memories. Last Sunday at the hostel’s 75th anniversary celebration we met a lot of people with some lovely memories of Ninebanks. #YHA #IHUK #NorthPennines

In rural areas we need our mobile communication. We don't have a choice of companies the only mast round here sends Vodafone UK and giffgaff signal. It's been over a week and still not sorted

We couldn't be more pleased with this in-depth article from Ethical Consumer. An illuminating insight into the unique network of independent hostels and bunkhouses in the UK. ethicalconsumer.org/transport-trav…

58% of the 340 hostels and bunkhouses in our network are within a protected landscape, so yes that's 197 affordable places to stay.
