It’s the season for pulling on walking boots, warm knits, setting out on quieter trails and ending the day with a hearty meal in welcoming surroundings. Autumn is the perfect time for a seasonal staycation, and with YHA, spontaneous adventures are just a click away.

Together, we’ve teamed up to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a one-night stay for two in a private room or camping and cabin pod of your choice at any YHA England and Wales locations, including its famous all-you-can-eat breakfast for two.

For those who think they know YHA, think again. Forget the old-fashioned image of hostelling – cramped dorms, queues for the shower in the morning. YHA offers so much choice, allowing you to pick what works best, whether that’s a sociable dorm, a private room or a cosy cabin.

What YHA does mean is you can embrace a slower pace, while making the most of off-season prices. With over 100 to choose from, the locations are second to none; stay in the middle of the National Parks with prime access to hiking trails and coastal paths on your doorstep, or stay in the heart of major cities. You can even wake up in a medieval castle.

Enter now for your chance to win a free Autumn escape.
