Broadmeadows Youth Hostel May Get Another Year

Youth hostel under threat may get another year

But, as we reported last week, sentiment was cast aside with the news from the Scottish Youth Hostel Association (SYHA) that Broadmeadows, with its spectacular outlook over the Yarrow valley, is earmarked to close, along with the hostels in Melrose and Kirk Yetholm.

The three are among five Scottish facilities which will be sacrificed to “enhance the future performance and long-term sustainability” of SYHA’s 46 other hostels.

...while Melrose and Kirk Yetholm would close in January, it was likely that Broadmeadows would stay open for another season.
