Cholderton Youth Hostel

Cholderton Farm is located only 4 miles from Stonehenge and 8 miles from Salisbury with its wonderful Medieval Cathedral and restored town buildings. The hostel, with lots of character makes a great alternative place to stay and is especially suited to families and groups.

We provide a comfortable, friendly hostel with 70 beds.

The hostel space is in a converted farm house and overlooks a wonderful rare breeds farm that is open to the public. With animals to see, parks to play in and a woodland to walk through, it is a great place to stay.

Guests are welcome to check-in to their room anytime after 4pm. Please telephone the on call warden to arrange key collections for arrivals after 8pm.
