YHA Eden Project 3 stars

Par

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.
