YHA Street — Hotel in Great Britain

A lovely Youth Hostel in a beautiful rural setting. YHA Street is one of the most unusual looking hostels, which looks as though it should be in the Swiss Alps ! It's very old and it's lovely ! I was lucky enough to spend a couple of nights there very recently. It is within walking distance of Glastonbury Tor ( although it took me all day to get there and back on foot.) Well worth it though, as I climbed up GlastonburyTor on a very windy day . That was quite an experience , but something I've always wanted to do ! On the way back , I looked around both Glastonbury & Street Town Centre's. The Glastonbury shops and people are very quirky and 'New Age'. Street Town Centre is just great for shopping, with the Clarkes Village. Something for everyone and lots of refreshment places too. Street Youth Hostel is very well run and the staff keep the standards high, which is so refreshing to see. It is spotlessly clean throughout. My room looked out towards the valley, so a lovely view to wake up in the morning and two bathrooms immediately next door. Picnic tables are placed around the garden for guests to 'chill out' after a day out. There is a good sized kitchen and dining area, also kept spotlessly clean. Great staff who keep everything going. They were all very friendly and dedicated to keeping up the high YHA standards ,which is always good to see. A big thank you to them for making my stay so pleasant and one to remember. One minor problem was the GPS postcode, which sends you to the track leading to the back of the hostel, which is only accessible on foot, by climbing over two metal gates ! No access by car or bike. Drive up the hill, turn right and keep going until you see the NT car park on the right. You'll see the youth hostel...

YHA is an awesome little hostel. We stayed for 3 nights over easter April 24.||The rooms were absolutely spotless and the bedding decent condition as always.||All the staff we met were awesome and friendly and we had no problems whatsoever.||There is no TV so socialising in the evening is part of the fun. Our kids instantly made friends with other kids and we were chatting with the parents. We all played cards together and chatted away until bedtime.||The hostel does not have a licence, unlike other hostels, so you are free to bring your own booze and enjoy at your leisure. Also they do not sell any meals at all, it is entirely self catering. There is a Mcds a few mins away plus chippys and restaurants and pubs in street. ||While staying there we went to Stonehenge, which was an hour’s drive away. Glastonbury was interesting and we also visited Burnham on Sea for...

Lovely location up on the hill above Street, very near Glastonbury. Very friendly, helpful staff on duty. Boys did some folding of linen, which they enjoyed. Stayed in one of the two wooden camping pods in autumn school half term (very snug and warm) and used the self-catering kitchen. Beautiful misty views over Somerset in the morning, with Glastonbury Tor appearing majestically through thee low clouds in the distance. Had a nice walk along the ridge to an old windmill. You can walk down to Street. Don't try driving up the narrow unmade track to the hostel (liable to scrape bottom of car on the grass between the tyre tracks). Park in the little carpark up behind the hostel instead. Very short walk from there...
