Due to the diverse nature and unique locations of all our hostels, YHA adopts 3 main opening patterns. These patterns are determined by a number of factors ranging from the wants and needs of our guests to the trading environment and time of year. The opening patterns are F&I (Families and Individuals travelling independently), Exclusive Hire (taking over the entire, unstaffed hostel exclusively) and organised groups such as cyclists, walkers, and educational school trips. Each YHA hostel can adopt one or more of the above patterns during a trading year and will frequently transition between them throughout the season in order to maximise business opportunities. The Business is currently operating a Trading pattern which places it on Exclusive Hire and educational groups. Historically the hostel has been successful in a trading pattern and has seen a mix of families and individuals travelling independently, exclusive hire, and hire to organized groups such as cyclists, walkers, and those for educational purposes. FREEHOLD £600,000 to include goodwill, fixtures and fittings.
