What's nearby

  • Today was our first #lksawaydays of 2020 #ukoutandabout We left Reading and headed out to the Wiltshire village of Avebury to have a walk around the Neolithic henge, visit the museum and have some lunch in the Red Lion. Its been over 20 years since the LKs last visited so were looking forward to re-visiting. There are no charges to walk amongst the stones which make up the largest megalithic stone circle in the world, but there are separate charges for the museum and the Avebury Manor. The main car park is £4 for the day but not very big considering the volume of visitors Avebury sees, so if you visit we would suggest outside peak months. The purpose of the the stone circle is unknown but its believed to be a ritual complex, the site is a sacred site to the contemporary Pagans and if you are lucky on your visit you may see Druidic rites taking place. Its a pleasant half day and if the weather is a little moody it can add to the visit too! #avebury #aveburystones #stones #stonecircle

My stay was absolutely ok. Wifi access was a bit odd, phone could get the cloud but not my laptop. I was too late to get a parking spot and because the parking was on a hill I could see it was a difficult manoeuvre and so I could see frustratingly large gaps between the cars. So for future visitors it might be worth mentioning the parking is limited although thinking about it you may end up with people arriving at the same time and creating a traffic nightmare on the main road. Heh ho. Anyway everything was ok and the access at night with the door code was nice.

the location is great, right on the banks of the Thames - the parking facilities are not so great with a very steep driveway, which would benefit from being resurfaced.

Good location next to pub; very clean; comfy quiet

We had a 4 person room (bunk beds), right opposite the loos (which was convenient and was NOT noisy, which we briefly worried about). Plenty of space. Sink in room, which was a nice touch. Showers were hot and powerful, short walk from the room, no queues. Slept like logs as the beds were really comfy, warm duvets & heating (but not too warm), and the room was very quiet. We didn't really use the kitchen or lounge (food is great in the almost adjacent pub). Parking was cosy and on a hill, but the warden warned us and we got a space easily. We would definitely stay there again.

YHA Streatley - better than many hotels !!

I used the Streatley YHA as a base for visiting several friends in Kidlington, Uxbridge, Reading, Newbury and Northwood - this worked very well as a base for me. The management could not have been more helpful and kind, even phoning me to tell me that I had left behind some personal belongings ! As per the info for this YHA, the driveway definitely is very steep - so make sure that your vehicle has good brakes ! If you arrive in the dark (as I did), I strongly suggest parking in a neighbouring road, so that you can see the driveway in good daylight - especially if you have a hired vehicle. Even a very welcome late-night coffee was supplied with a smile when I arrived ! I would never have considered a youth hostel before... but this is a fine example of just how great the experience can be. No need to waste money on fancy hotels - this YHA does a lovely cooked and continental breakfast - even vegetarian sausages for me ! Finally, Streatley and Goring are absolutely lovely to explore, with larger meals available at the inn by the bridge over the River Thames, where boats are available for hire - or you can take a pleasure cruise and let someone else captain the boat ! The YHA is a registered charity, so they need your money... please support them, so that they can keep providing affordable, comfortable accommodation and great experiences !! I know where I will be staying next time I am here :-)

Very cosy and welcoming hostel at the beautiful countryside. Bargain prices, also the manager (Nick) and the two other staff members (Henna and Matt) are really helpful and always keen to make the stay a nice experience.
