YHA BROAD HAVEN - 84 BED YOUTH HOSTEL IN SCENIC PEMBROKESHIRE VILLAGE

The YHA Broad Haven enjoys an outstanding location within the village of the same name, sat all but on the renowned Blue Flag beach, having spectacular views across the bay. It is an exceptional location within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and a mecca for holidaymakers and tourists.

The area attracts huge numbers throughout the year, but especially during the busy tourist seasons, with those walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, taking part in the numerous water-based activities available or visiting the numerous campsites, caravan parks and holiday homes. There are many attractions within a close vicinity to the Hostel with some of the most famous being Skomer Island which is a renowned bird sanctuary and Britain’s smallest city, St Davids.

The hostel sits within two combined sites which total approximately 2.2 acres, the two buildings primarily being:
The Hostel which is a single storey property of modern brick and block construction with part rendered elevations under a pitched tile roof to the main with a central flat roof valley.
The Educational Field Centre, again of similar construction with a rubberised flat roof.
Both properties operate in tandem with this being a popular Hostel for private individuals and groups, especially schools and educational groups which have the benefit of this quality accommodation and the educational field centre.

The hostel trades throughout the year, but the main season is between March and October, during which time it caters for families, individuals and groups. Also, the café operates seven days per week between 7.30 am and 10.30 pm offering food and beverage services to the public. During November to March, it is offered on an exclusive hire basis.
Due to the diverse nature and unique locations of all our hostels, YHA adopts 3 main opening patterns. These patterns are determined by a number of factors ranging from the wants and needs of our guests to the trading environment and time of year. The opening patterns are F&I (Families and Individuals travelling independently), Exclusive Hire (taking over the entire, unmanned hostel exclusively) and Organised Groups such as cyclists, walkers and educational school trips. Each YHA hostel can adopt one or more of the above patterns during a trading year and will frequently transition between them throughout the season in order to maximise business opportunities.
