Stonehenge Hostel - YHA Affliated

I celebrated my 30th here over the weekend and it’s was absolutely brilliant! The whole set up of the farm and hostel made for a perfect day! We fed the animals, went wine tasting and even had the garden bit next to the hostel to ourselves! We’re were also fortunate enough to have a silent disco in the barn later that evening!! I’d never considered having a party/get together here before but it was amazing and would 100% recommend to anyone looking to organise something similar!! The rooms were also really clean, comfy and spacious and staying in bunk beds made it even more fun!!

Beds was OK and comfy was just surprised at the price was 100 pound for 3 of us I always thought hostels were cheaper tge nxt either stayed at another hotel for 70 for all 3 of us with breakfast don't think be using hostels again worked out over 30 odd pound each

nice rooms, staff were great as able to change a room as my girlfriend was having problems with her legs hurting. Shower and toilets clean. Plenty of plug sockets in our room. Happy with our stay.Thanks

A very warm welcome, clean and comfortable room, good facilities and excellent on-site cafe serving a much better range of breakfast options than a typical Youth Hostel. Would certainly recommend! 😊

Really great place to stay with a car. Marleen said her best English breakfast ever, lovely thick tasty solid farmers bacon and proper sausages whilst we had delicious Eggs Royale and Eggs bendict cooked by the talented Tracey the English ex Hong Konger. The coffee was gorgeous with locally themed latte art - ask for it. Slept well in an ensuite enjoyed the lounge and also peaked into the large conservatory. Next to a lovely animal farm and for the Dads some fine Decanter award winning English ‘Champagne’ from the area called Bluestone. Only missed out on being able to get onto that balcony and enjoying glasses of bubbles whilst sunning ourselves and soaking up the vineyard view and trampolines. I think it was off limits.

I stayed here with my friend the night before the summer solstice and I have to say I really enjoyed myself. We booked two beds in a six bed room and much to our delight, we were the only people in the room that night. The room was spacious and had a handy ensuite. We used the kitchen to make a big salad and found that the kitchen had everything we needed. We ate our dinner in the large conservatory! The next morning we explored the big garden and were delighted to find that the hostel garden turned into a rare breeds farm! We saw guinea pigs, pygmy goats, sheep, peacocks and plenty of other farmyard animals. We also stopped for lunch in the cafe/farmshop and had an amazing full english breakfast. I had the vegetarian one and it came with all the trimmings AND a cup of coffee for only £10. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area and I couldn't help but think as I was exploring the rare breeds farm how perfect it would be for kids.

We arrived at the hostel and realised we had no milk or wine. Had no idea that we could get both fresh milk by the bottle and local wine from the on-site vineyard next door! We all had a comfortable night in the hostel where we enjoyed dinner in the conservatory. In the morning we took the kids to feed the animals and watch pig racing on the farm. The boys also had a blast in the play area and trampolines. Highly recommend for a night or two as a family.

Good Points 1. Very friendly and helpful staff. 2. Spotlessly clean self catering kitchen, toilets, washrooms, etc. 3. Nice garden and surroundings 4. Plenty of parking - you can use the Rare Breeds Farm car park next door. 5. Very nice pub in Cholderton, about a mile down the road. I can recommend the food there. Some not so good points: 1. On the website it says breakfast and evening meal are available/can be ordered. but when I arrived they said they don't do meals at all. There is a cafe next door but it only seems to do tea and biscuits, cakes etc. and is only open for limited times. Luckily I had brought some food for breakfast, but this hostel seems to be essentially self catering. 2. No public transport anywhere near. OK for me as I have a car, but would be a problem for non-drivers (Amesbury is about 4 miles walk away). 3. A minor point - bedside lights don't work (not connected to anything). OK on a moonlit night but could stub your toe getting into bed. Despite one or two drawbacks, my stay there was pleasant and relaxing and the atmosphere was good. I would consider staying there again.

As opposed to other reviews I didn't find the mattresses lumpy. The placed is cleaned by Michael, a formidable gentleman from Barnet way, who does a magnificent job. The manager Joshua is a very personable Young gentleman who I understand is recently single so book now ladies to get a slice of that pie. My 9-year-old loved the petting farm which is head and shoulders above similar places I've visited.
