YHA Jordans

This is a basic, countryside, youth hostel, set in idilic surroundings in the heart of Buckinghamshire. Its close enough to London for business and sightseeing, but far enough away for relaxation and peace after a busy day. The manager describes it as a little shack, but it is more than that, it is a quaint retreat of wood and simplicity. There is a basic lounge and kitchen which is clean and contains tables and chairs. The kitchen has, cooker, microwave, fridge and all basic pans, plates and necessary utencials for making a meal. Plus there is an outside BBQ for use in Summer. Camping is offered from July to September, but tents and sleeping bags are not provided. The hostel is surrounded by a garden with wooden picknick tables. There is plenty of trees and wildlife around. The dorms are wooden and simple, with no wash bason in the rooms. There are separte shower blocks for both men and women close to the dorms with a couple of showers and toiletts. The showers are excelent, with hot running water. The entire hostel is very clean. It is however, very small and can only cater for 24 people at any one time. The hostel, by its simple surroundings and friendly atmosphere, creates an air all of its own and is highly recommendable.
