Lock in a great price for YHA South Downs – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

Reception was lovely. Bed comfy with a nice duvet. Room was clean. Liked the indoor/outdoor setup of the place. Big common area. Kitchen looked good but didn't get to use it for short stay.

Rachel, United States of America

Location is great. Lovely and clean. Cafe is good and a great meeting point - even though I did not use it. I left a couple of dog toys for the dog that uses the dog bowl. Hope they were found and used.

Louise, United Kingdom

I have found the staff friendly, the room warm showers clean and kitchen facilities were provided that were helpful.

Antonia, United Kingdom

Good food and cheap wine in the cafe, good breakfast. Nice outlook, good location for walking, clean and comfortable.

Martin, United Kingdom

The friendly staff, the underfloor heating and the lovely old granary buildings. Also brilliantly convenient to the Ferry and to Lewes

Jenny, United Kingdom

YHA at a new level. Especially liked the friendliness and flexibility of the staff. Good location for both travelling down to Newhaven and for walking the dog. Easy parking. Interesting farm buildings and history

Martin, United Kingdom

Every thing was as good as I remember from staying at Youth hostel stays 30 years ago.

Helen, United Kingdom

Great location for outdoors and made agriculture history of hostel/farm interesting and key feature. brilliant breakfast and well located to explore the local countryside
