Overview

Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, YHA Isle of Wight Totland has the best of both worlds – a seaside village location with many beautiful walking spots, but with the bustling island capital of Newport just a 20-minute drive away. This makes it an ideal spot from which to explore the island.

You cannot visit the Isle of Wight and not see the iconic Needles – a series of chalk stacks which protrude into the sea. The view from the chalky cliffs is amazing!

The beaches and villages all have pubs, cafes, coffee shops and restaurants, for guests to grab a bite to eat and relax after a day’s exploring the beautiful area.

Why guests love YHA Isle of Wight Totland

  • Breathtaking views and only 10 minutes from the beach
  • Perfect for surfing, walking, cycling, swimming and more

History

Built in 1862 as a private house, this Isle of Wight property traded as 'Hurst Hill Hotel' from the 1960s. It was purchased by YHA in 1975 and opened by Lord Mountbatten. In 2012, YHA Totland became an Enterprise hostel. Its classroom was added in 2016, with three new en-suite bedrooms folowing in 2020. A further six en-suite bedrooms were added in 2022.

Meet the team

We are a small team here on the Isle of Wight. We do everything here, looking after you from when you book, when you arrive, to answering any of your questions at reception. We provide cooked breakfasts, packed lunches for you to take with you on picnics, evening meals for you to come back to at the end of a busy day.

Managers recommends: Our traditional seaside desserts, banana splits and knickerbocker glories are the best!
