Puttenham Barn Bunkhouse The Street, Puttenham, Guildford GU3 1AR

"Amazing eco barn with the same ethos of the Pilgrim's hostels in Spain with the added bonus of the ECO credentials. Fully equipped kitchen, os wall to wall map of the area, lots of books and a cute window shop with enough for a basic meal. Handily located on cycle route 22 and the north downs way route."

"Old barn turned eco-hostel for self-catering. Basic accommodation with bunk beds, shower and kitchen. All you need, really. Perfect and very affordable for pilgrims, bike packers, and travellers."

"Lovely people. Beautiful surroundings. Well run by lovely volunteers. Great for a no car family. Has fantastic kitchen and indoor camping and outside table. Near some lovely pubs. Provides basic bedding if needed. Beautiful walk through woods and a along a canal to Guildford station. Great for older children. Highly recommend"

"Great spot for 'indoor camping' - hostel like arrangement. Great facilities provided by the volunteers through a charity but with connections to council and many local outdoor organisations. Summer only and closed in quieter times if no bookings are received. The Barn has close neighbours: PLEASE respect their privacy and right to a peaceful existence."

"This would be 4* but its not the Eco-guys fault that there is no mobile reception in the barn. This is a fantastic place to stay if you passing through as a camper, walker, cyclist etc. They place is ran by volunteers that welcome you and interact at a comfortable level. The rates are very good (for the area) though you might need to call and check they are open that day. Tuesday's were tentative when I was last there. You'll be able to use the staff kitchen if needed, there is a shower room, parking, bike store and three large communal beds. Sharing with a stranger isn't awkward (if it happens) as each of the three communal beds is approx 3 meters square. So if your in a sleeping bag (you should be due to circumstance) and have a stranger in your area don't worry. It's a large barn and ALL three bedding areas are connected, no doors or divisions. Just a curtain to seperate the three sleeping areas from each other. There are two pubs very close-by both of which are extremely welcoming and offer good prices on the food and drinks. If your needing to exercise there is a lovely road run (out and left) 3 miles and to the neighbouring villages cenotaph and back. Or a steep hill for fell-runners to enjoy even closer to the barn. A really nice place and its all ECO powered!"
