Yha South Downs Description
YHA South Downs is a refurbished Sussex farmhouse and barn buildings in an enviable location right on the South Downs Way, just a short stroll along a country lane from Southease Railway station. The buildings themselves are packed full of original features - you might visit the disused dairy farm or be lucky enough to have a stone window setting in your room! Surrounded by the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, the site stands in extensive grounds, ideal for exploring by experienced or budding naturalists – or just a place to relax and unwind.
Opened officially by the Queen in October 2013, it’s a great base for cheap family breaks close to traditional Sussex towns such as Lewes or Newhaven, which also has ferry connections with continental Europe. The culture of Brighton is also not far away and the great outdoors of the South Downs National Park is right on your doorstep.
Just 25 minutes on the train from Brighton and only an hour and a half in total from the centre of London, YHA South Downs is a wonderful rural retreat for city slickers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

We'd like to wish all our wonderful customers a very happy new year! Our cafe is open today, so if you haven't made a resolution to eat less cake (and even if you have!) why not stop by?
We had the loveliest rainbow over the cafe this morning.
We hope you all had a lovely Christmas! It's a beautiful day here at YHA South Downs, perfect weather for walking off all that turkey!
Off on a wintery walk on the Downs today? Why not plan to finish up in our lovely Courtyard Cafe with a mince pie or some mulled apple juice? We're open from 10 until 4.
YHA South Downs, as you'd expect, is ideally situated for accessing some great walks and mountain biking on the South Downs Way. The coffee shop is great and we've stopped lots of times for coffee and cake :-) the staff are friendly too and I'd recommend it to any body who is looking to explore the area and wants somewhere clean, convenient and welcoming to stay.
What a lovely place. We stayed in one of the pods, kids thought they were great fun. Friendly staff, couldn't do enough for you.......best of all the price. Amazing value.
What a lovely place. We love the pod and had a great time. Can't wait to come back.
We had a brilliant night in one of the bell tents. We loved it! All the facilities at the youth hostel were great, the cafe served delicious food and all the staff was incredibly helpful. We'll definitely be back! Thanks 😊⛺️
This hostel is fantastic! The staff are great, the surrounding walks and close proximity to Brighton are wonderful. Great for kids! Beautiful building ❤️
Thank you for a fantastic weekend. My son has now declared Beachy Head 'our' camping pod. Lovely atmosphere, tasty breakfast and a wild rabbit at bedtime, just perfect!
One of the most beautiful locations I had the pleasure to stay in, and made some nice friends too. I love YHA.
Incredible! Amazing staff and a wonderful location.
I love this place.
It's the perfect café stop when cycling out of Brighton, as well as a fabulous place to stay with friends for an outdoorsy weekend.
Have only visited on walks not stayed yet but very impressed each time I have come. Loved the garden party came to support as long standing member and your work for children..
Excellent staff, great location, clean facilities!
Excellent location to base for exploring that part of the Southdowns!
Clean and as ever .. very friendly and helpful.
Home away from home!
Excellent cafe even the moles enjoy going there!
Es exelente, las chicas de recepción son muy educadas y respetuosas a pesar de hablar mal en inglés , se esforzaron por ayudarme y entenderme!! Me encantó el sitio , la comida y la hospitalidad. . Y encima no tenia el cambio suficiente de moneda nacional y ella se molesto para buscarme un sitio donde me cambiasen. .. sin palabra .. 10 puntos!!
Came yesterday and we'll worth it. We love the pods! We will be coming back
Lovely and clean, food and especially breakfast excellent, friendly helpful staff - on the negative side, we were upstairs in the Granary which was too hot to sleep (but weather-related), the room blinds were stuck, the noise from the A26 was constant almost all night, and the bathroom had a pool of water possibly from a leak under it and there was nothing to mop with. Would definitely come back but would want a room further from the road!
A meditation weekend provided a slight challenge as the room allocated for our meeting was noisy due to the road. Six women sharing 3 bunks could have been a nightmare bit we managed well. The bedside lights have apace on top to play your phone while you plug it in in the socket just below and hey don't disturb the others...small things make a difference. this was a catered evened with breakfast and evening meal supplied. well done to the catering staff. Clean, basic accommodation in a great location
