YHA Boswinger is a unique, rural retreat for outdoor breaks in Cornwall. With a multitude of secluded coves, coastal paths and leafy lanes just moments from the door, there are endless adventures on offer for walkers, cyclists and kayakers.

Dorms are not currently available.
Dorm rooms have multiple beds and are shared with other people who may not be travelling together. They are usually more affordable than private rooms as you'll be booking a bed rather than the whole room.
A typical shared dorm room includes bunk beds, a reading light and a storage cupboard for each guest.
Children aged between 12 and 15 can stay in dorm rooms as long as an adult of the same gender accompanies them.
Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room. None of our dorm rooms have en-suite facilities.
Want some privacy? With a private room, you'll be booking the whole room for your stay.
Private rooms typically include a storage cupboard and reading light for each bed, plus a wash hand basin.
Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room. None of our private rooms have en-suite facilities.

YHA Boswinger was one of the first properties YHA bought in Cornwall. Originally it was two separate farm buildings but they have since been connected into one. The manager’s accommodation used to be three self-contained flats which were available for hire, but this has now been converted.
Manager Rob and his partner, Rachel, both formerly of YHA Coverack, have been in post at Boswinger since 2015. Out of work they are likely to be found guzzling artisan coffee at Da Bara bakery café, paddling their canoe down the Percuil River or sun-bathing at blissful Hemmick Beach.
