About

The idea

College Hobbies is Everything your college years should be. We started it because most of what we were reading about UK travel was either a listicle written by someone who'd never got off the train, or a hotel brochure with the word "hidden" pasted on top. We wanted an honest desk — first-hand reporting, specific verdicts, real prices, and a clear line between an editorial recommendation and an affiliate link.

Who "we" are

the editorial team of College Hobbies Between the two of us we've driven every A-road worth driving, argued over motorway service flat whites, slept in cottages, hostels and one very haunted B&B in Whitby. We publish weekly and we answer reader mail.

What you'll find here

How we make money

We are reader-funded through affiliate links — the same price for you, a small commission for us when you book through one of our links. Full detail is in our Affiliate Disclosure.
