Holiday at Cote Ghyll Mill Youth Hostel - plan B

By
You can reply with your dates here   As we said in the blog posted 3rd February, we identified what we think is an excellent venue for a club holiday at Cote Ghyll Mill Youth Hostel near Osmotherley , east of Northallerton . There looks to be a great choice of road cycling gravelling and MTB nearby. As you will have realised, there was insufficient take-up for us to take exclusive use of the Hostel as we suggested in the blog. However, there was quite a bit of interest so we’re now looking at plan B which is a 3-day ‘book yourself’ option Friday to Monday. I’ve set out the accommodation and prices in detail below. Hostels aren’t what they used to be (expectations require them to be a bit smarter to survive) and each room has its own en-suite facilities which pushes up the price. Prices are bed/room only – no food included as we’re not on the exclusive use booking terms. There is a 10% discount for 3 nights or more. If you want the cheapest option...

Holiday Thursday 18th to Sunday 21st September

By geoff
  With thanks to Adella, we have identified an option for a holiday at Cote Ghyll Mill Youth Hostel near Osmotherley , east of Northallerton . There looks to be a great choice of road cycling gravelling and MTB nearby.  We are proposing to book the hostel entirely for our use from Thursday 18th September to Sunday 21st September . The property does not do self-catering; we either take B & B or full board including a packed lunch and 2 course evening meal and the full board option is very economical so that is what we propose. The property has 14 bedrooms each with 2, 4 or 6 beds in them and all of them are ensuite. I have worked on the basis of 2 people sharing a room but one room (at least) could be turned into a single-sex dorm style room. They are all bunk beds but 5 of the rooms have a lower bunk which is a double bed.
