Welcome to Tanners Hatch Independent Hostel

Opening soon

Tanners Hatch cottage and grounds

A cosy rural retreat in the Surrey woods…..Coming soon under new management! Offering a range of affordable accommodation for individuals, families and groups.

Hidden in the woods of the Surrey Hills, almost a mile from the nearest road, Tanners Hatch is a fairytale cottage that's been welcoming visitors for nearly eighty years. Set in glorious woodland on the National Trust's beautiful Polesden Lacey Estate, it's ideally placed for walking, cycling, group holidays or just immersing yourself in nature. You couldn't find a more peaceful retreat. Offering hospitality to individuals, families and groups, you can stay for a night, a weekend or longer.

Surrey Hills woodland track

After nearly 80 years as the hidden gem of the UK hostel community, this iconic location sadly closed last year. Now, a group of dedicated volunteers with decades of happy memories here have partnered with the National Trust to relaunch Tanners Hatch as an independent hostel. Work is well underway to regenerate and relaunch the historic venue.

If you want to follow along as we bring this special place back to life and be the first to know when bookings are open, follow us on social media (Facebook and Instagram) or join our mailing list.
