YHA Coniston Holly How, a 55-bed Victorian hostel in the Lake District, has been sold following its exit from the Youth Hostels Association network.
A 55-bed Victorian youth hostel at the foot of the Coniston fells has been sold for £895,000. The freehold sale of YHA Coniston Holly How was completed by commercial estate agents Sidney Phillips following its exit from the Youth Hostels Association network.
Set across 2.1 acres, the site includes the main hostel with ten letting rooms, kitchens, a bar and restaurant area, and lounges. A separate six-bedroom house known as Holly How House provides additional guest and staff accommodation. The grounds feature gardens, camping areas, a patio, and parking for 20 vehicles.
The hostel left the YHA network in May alongside YHA Buttermere as part of the charity's wider plan to reshape its network and secure its finances. Dean McVay of Sidney Phillips said the deal 'demonstrates continued demand for well-located leisure and hospitality assets with character, scale and development potential'. The property is located eight miles south of Ambleside, near Coniston village and Coniston Water.
