About BOTM...

A bunkhouse was traditionally a temporary form of accommodation offered to workers in remote areas of the world. Today bunkhouses in The UK offer cheap, basic accommodation to those who love the outdoors and wan't to stay in those same remote places.

The term bunkhouse can be used to describe anything from a simple camping barn with nothing but a place to sleep and a log fire to a grand hostel with double beds and a cooked breakfast provided in the morning. For simplicity, we include all types of accommodation in the bunkhouse family.

This website is run by and designed to connect outdoor enthusiasts with cheap accommodation in the places that we love, without the hassle (and cost) of finding a hotel. We are, after all, here to enjoy our outdoor persuits rather than gold plated bath taps and a mini bar.

All accommodation listed on this site falls into the catagory of a bunkhouse whether it be a simple camping barn or an elaborate hostel.

Bunkhouse User Guide

Respect other people using the bunkhouse – they may have had a long day and need to be up early.

Respect the environment – many bunkhouses and camping barns are on working farms and have neighbours who will not be impressed by late night noise.

Bunkhouses in rural areas are designed for people enjoying outdoor activities. If you want a night out partying, consider going to a city or at least make sure your accommodation is booked for sole use and that you have no chance of disturbing other people.

Due to the nature of bunkhouse and camping barn accommodation, leave the property as you would expect to find it.

When sharing with others, keep you personal belongings tidy and consider asking if there is secure storage for valuable possessions.

Communal kitchens should be kept clean and tidy – do your washing up promptly. Label any food left in fridges and remove food that you are not going to use. Finding a week old half pint of milk is not pleasant!

The key word is respect. Rights come with responsibilities, ignore the responsibilities and you will lose the rights.
