YHA is the official on-site glamping accommodation provider for the Eden Project, one of Cornwall's most recognisable attractions. YHA Eden Project is a unique place to stay and is perfectly in tune with its eco-friendly surroundings.

Everything was great, wonderful proximity to the Eden Project, staff was lovely and the facilities nice and clean. Lovely environment. Great affordable option to stay around the Eden Project, and love the green initiatives plus super cool and quirky lodgings. I stayed in a landpod which was perfect, wifi worked great and was comfortable. Airstreams I think are bigger and look super cool and retro.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location to lots of great places to visit. The cottage was roomy, simple and therefore safe for our little one too. They had everything we needed, beds were comfy, kitchen well equipped and clean.

    The vibes were nice in the sense that all of the guests that were staying there were friendly. We all sat by the fireplace, had a coupe beers, and just connected like backpackers do. I haven't felt those type of hostel vibes in a while, so it was really great to just sit by the fire and connect with the people. They also had 2 dogs that were very friendly. The owners were really nice!

    Lisa the host was amazing - my hubby & I had the best time chatting, pootling around the garden, having a personal & immensely knowledgeable tour guide! The property was stunning. Great location, beautifully done up and spotlessly clean. Bed was comfy, we both slept really well. Shower was good. Food was great! Generous portions and was safe for my hubby, who has a severe dairy allergy. We are already planning our next visit, can't wait :)

    Beautiful little apartment, great location, modern, clean, comfortable, amazing shower. Parking space a bonus. Thoughtful extra touches left for us like tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, water, toiletries, cleaning/wipes & extra toilet rolls! Easy access check in/out via key safe. Excellent and immediate customer service from owners when we couldn’t work tv! Would stay again and would definitely recommend this apartment.

    Unique type of accommodation, very different from our usual premier inn experience. Clean, quiet and safe. Room for 4 people is normally difficult to find, so their family room with bunk bed is a winner! We did like service and included breakfast (I missed that part when booking so was lovely surprise) Location is also very convenient in terms of local family entertainment and very close to drive both South and North Coast of Cornwall.
