If you are volunteering on the railway, the Society has two types of self-catering accommodation available to members at very reasonable rates. |

Heywood House Heywood House is the Society owned accommodation available for those volunteering on the railway. It is self-catering hostel style accommodation and is situated in the main street of Ravenglass, just a few minutes’ walk from the railway. The premises can sleep up to 12 persons in bunk beds, there being four bedrooms, 2 containing 4 beds and 2 containing 2 beds. A large fully equipped kitchen is provided along with a lounge which contains a TV. There are also a shower room and a bathroom. Residents are required to bring their own bedding, towels, etc. Heywood House is heavily subsidised by the Society meaning that the cost to volunteers is kept as low as possible. Currently the rates are £3 per night (£1 for students/unwaged persons). Bookings can be made to Andrea Storey via email or letter to R&ER office who will forward it on. Dai Pickup and Peter van Zeller who live in Ravenglass will both be happy to pass out keys by arrangement, and be happy to answer any queries you may have.
