Bookings
Some exciting news – as part of the Ashbourne Reborn transformation programme the Centre is getting a makeover. The existing hostel will be fully refurbished to provide more modern and flexible accommodation. As a consequence the Centre has stopped taking new room bookings until after refurbishment.
If you want to be kept informed about our reopening (early in 2026) please email the Centre Manager with your contact details.
The refurbishment will provide up to 32 beds in the main building and up to a further 10 beds in two adjacent apartments. The makeover plans include:
- New reception area and new garden entrance
- Small family-sized bedrooms sleeping 2 – 6 people
- All bedrooms have private en-suite
- Communal living, kitchen and dining spaces
- Boot room and drying area for wet walking or cycle gear
- Laundry
- Secure cycle storage
Guests
Groups who stay with us include:

- Young people
- Uniformed organisations
- Family groups
- Church groups
- Walking, cycling and outdoor sports groups
