YHA Malham

YHA Malham is a purpose built 1930s hostel in the centre of Malham village in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with two heated timber camping pods in its grounds for anyone who wants to sleep outdoors without carrying a tent. Malham Cove is about a mile's walk away, Gordale Scar and the Janet's Foss waterfall are similarly close, and both the Pennine Way and the Yorkshire Dales Cycleway pass through the village, so boots and bikes set the tone here. Each pod sleeps two on single beds with bedding and a heater supplied, and pod guests can use the hostel facilities, including the licensed restaurant and bar, a self catering kitchen, a drying room and limited free parking. There are no tent pitches, no caravan or motorhome pitches and no hook-ups, so this is a glamping stop for walkers and cyclists rather than a campsite; the nearest YHA tent camping in the Dales is at Grinton Lodge near Reeth. Dogs stay in the pods for £5 a night each, while only assistance dogs are allowed inside the hostel itself. Pod and room prices at YHA Malham vary by date and are quoted through YHA's online booking system.
