Overnight stay at Ilam Hall Youth Hostel

This is another change. Wooler only does rent-a-hostel in March and I had great difficulty in finding a hostel both open and able to take us this weekend. Ilam Hall came up trumps and when we visited it in 2009 we enjoyed our stay there. It's situated In Derbyshire and is a great base for walking in Dovedale or cycling the nearby cycle trails. The hostel is a refurbished Victorian Gothic mansion!
