Guest Reviews

• Robert (10/5): - Beautiful house in fabulous grounds. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good food. I want to stay here again.
• Richard (8/5): - Just the ticket for what we wanted . A nights sleep .The room was basic but clean as expected. The bathrooms were ok but mouldy silicone .All good
• Lazare (10/5): - Very clean and well maintained place, Lovely staff!
• Rosie (10/5): - Very comfortable beds and marvellous ensuite
• A (2/5): - Poor check in Very condescending attitude Room damp and aggravated asthma
• Rosanna (8/5): Liked the surroundings and building - Clean and practical, surroundings are lovely and building architecture. Appreciated the upgraded room. Shower needs to be warmer and more powerful. Checkout time could be better. Some of the bedding is a little worn as well but on the whole a pleasant stay.
• Ben (10/5): - Lovely building with great walks on the doorstep. Shower room could have been cleaner and some bits better maintained but overall as expected for a hostel. Would stay again
• Karen (10/5): - Lovely stay, would recommend
• Wayne (2/5): - Both Expedia and the hostel are a complete disgrace
• Matt (10/5): - What a stunning building! And the surrounding grounds are gorgeous - it feels like such a quiet and idyllic bolthole retreat tucked away in the heart of Hope Valley. Facilities are superb, everything is clean and well appointed and the staff are all so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and cannot wait to return!
• KEITH (8/5): - Although some rooms might need a bit of renovation, the YHA is great value for money and ideal for activities in the area.
• Michael (10/5): Excellent - Staued for the second time, great location and very friendly staff. Room was great and breakfast was excellent. Will definitely stay again
• Margaret (10/5): - Everything about our stay here was super. Lovely location, clean and comfortable, delightful grounds, good foodd, both for breakfast and particularly for evening meal.
• steven (8/5): - Great location within walking distance to Castleton . The bunk bed was comfortable but a bit on the noisy side when you turn over . We had the option for breakfast and it was cooked very well and tasty .
• Claire (2/5): - Room was mucky, cobwebs, dirt on the floor. Staff took ages signing us in, did not give breakfast times, came down 9:15 too late for breakfast. For £110 a room, I was very disappointed and also the pipes or something were so loud throughout the night so very little sleep.
• Jade (10/5): - Great location - a short walk into Castleton
• Karen (8/5): - Great location, walking distance into Castleton or Hope. Characterful property in lovely grounds.
• Lindsey (8/5): - Nice place in general, good service. Room had a bad smell and no ventilation
• Jackie (8/5): - Very helpful reception manager, good atmosphere, bike wash
• Klaudia (2/5): - The hostel was nothing like in the description! The beds was uncomfortable, spiders all over in the room. The receptionist ask to strip the bed before we leaving. We have booked a bedroom for 2 persons. When we arrived the receptionist told us we can’t get the bedroom we booked for because a school trip going on in the hostel so we need the stay in another building next to the hostel which was totally separated, that building was empty, no other guest or anyone so we was really scared with my sister plus they wanted to charge us 10£ extra because of the bigger room what we didn’t book for. The receptionist said there will be kitchen open to buy dinner so we decided with my sister to go and get some dinner but when we went the receptionist said unfortunately there isn’t any food just only pizza which is small size and was costing over £10. He said to us if we not happy we can go to the Castleton village which is 20 min walk to get something to eat. We had to walk from the hostel to the main gate which takes about 12min in total in the middle of the “park” (because the hostel is in the middle of a private park) without any light. There is no light or anything so in the darkness we had to turn on the flashlight on the phone for we can at least see the way after all this we walked like about other 10 min till the village next to the main road there was one side only fields and other side kind of small forest. It wasn’t a great experience at all specially only 2 girls alone.
• Sukhpreet (6/5): - Really great location for hiking and Castleton is beautiful. However the walls in the hostel are paper-thin, and we were placed in a room next to a family. We were awoken every morning at 6 am throughout our entire stay.
• Catherine (10/5): Fabulous! - Lovely building with some amazing restored original features. Very clean bedrooms and communal areas. Helpful and friendly staff.
• Juliet (10/5): - Good stay..highly recommended. Set in a nice place.
• Miss Lynnette (6/5): Great welcome, but a bit of a rip-off! - The youth hostel is in amazing grounds and some of the public areas are very regal (like the lounge with leather sofas). The staff were welcoming and helpful. Of course, you don't expect luxury in youth hostels, but when you are paying £98 a night with no breakfast, then something is not right with the pricing. The ensuite bunk bed we had was in real need of redecoration and there was just tepid water in the tiny plastic shower room. Honestly, that would be fine, as this is what you expect of a sector catering to young people who might not have a lot of money. But if you are older and can afford nearly £100 a night, I would advise going to a nearby hotel in Castleton instead.
• Paul (6/5): Check-in reminded me on that Victoria Wood Sketch - Don't expect any chance of checking in earlier than 5pm - reception is shut (literally, shutters down). Reception staff ignored me as I waited 15 minutes before. The male member of staff who checked me in was bizarre, condersending. No evening meal option as they weren't offering it. No notification of this prior to arrival. Room ok, basic. Comfortable bed.
• Karolina (10/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. The only downside was the condition of the road surface near the building. Huge potholes that are not well visible at dusk.
• Katie (10/5): Great value for money - We really enjoyed our trip to the YHA castleton. The hall had gorgeous grounds and was only a short walk away to the village. They had a lovely lounge with a log burner lit, where we played cards for a bit. Overall our stay was perfect for what we wanted.
• Paul (10/5): - I used the train and it was an easy walk to the hostel. Good clean self catering kitchen. Love the library and doctor who tardis. One fault was that was tv on at breakfast and the YHA were not allowed to tune into BBC
• Joanna (10/5): - Lovely building with excellent facilities and smashing staff. Oh, and the cooked breakfast was up there with the best of b&b breakfasts. Thank you.
• Benjamin (10/5): Wonderful stay! - What made this place amazing was the staff. They were absolutely wonderful, so friendly and could not do enough to help us with our queries and requests. The service was just wonderful and we cant wait to visit again.
• Sian (8/5): - I didn't like the restriction on opening window, i wanted to open it more. I didn't like the constant noise from a fan or generator right next to my room. I didn't sleep well. I didn't like the kitchen facilities not available first thing for an early start.
• Juanito (10/5): Perfect for backpackers - I had all I need in a very affordable price. Staff are helpful and very relaxing place. Location was the centre of Peak District so very good, and a lot to go walking from there. I left an item and they assisted me to send it back. Grateful
• Roma (10/5): - We just needed a place to sleep overnight so we could start early with out hike. The hostel closes at 22:00 but because we were coming from our day jobs, our schedule was tight. Abby agreed to wait for us until 22:30 and we really, really appreciate that! Amenities are basic, and the two-bed ensuite room we had was quite small. But we're happy as it costs cheaper than other accommodations in such a touristy area and the gothic manor was so beautiful.
• Christopher (2/5): - Rude staff at check in , room was poor state of repair and dirty in places , certainly not a 3 star property. Location is nice
• Samuel (8/5): - Good hostel in a beautiful location. We were very happy with the stay for the price we stayed. Reception staff were helpful and friendly. Only issue is that a 10am check-out is ridiculously early considering check-in is at 5pm. Overall would happily stay again if in the area. P.s. there was a chicken wandering around outside which was a highlight!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The Youth Hostel is value for money, but not better than that. Mainly, very friendly staff but sadly needed a lick of paint, away from the public areas.
• Karolina (10/5): Second time I’ve stayed in Castleton YHA. Great! - Great location and enough space in the room. Staff very friendly and enjoyed my stay. It was a particularly hot couple of days and the room stayed very warm at night as the window was limited to how far it opens.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The property is beautiful and really well situated, both for walks and accessing Hope and Castleton by foot. Having so many sheep as neighbours was also a pleasant surprise! Wonderful stay, I can see myself coming back.
• Timothy (8/5): YHA lose hill - It was clean and comfortable quiet location, walking distance to exceptional pubs and restaurants in town ,offering far superior eating options that could be found on site.
• Carl (8/5): - The hostel was really great, it was situated right where we wanted for our hike. The staffs were friendly. The shower room though had a funny smell but aside from that overall it was great.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Youth Hostel - Good value for money. As it's a youth hostel, there are bunk beds, and no chairs or tables in the room, but we expected that.
• Demetris (8/5): Nice place in good location - Very good place overall, I would recommend. ANd very good location! A few drawbacks: 1) We couldn't get wifi from our bedroom 2) Needs a better first aid box (ice packs are basic for example)
• Louise (10/5): Best hostel stay - Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful old hall in stunning grounds. Fab location, hostel very clean and rooms spotless with comfortable beds . Great value for money. Staff were all friendly and engaging.
• Alwyn (10/5): Great value and great location - Great place to stay, amazing value for money, perfect for walking the Edale skyline, only grumble I had was the low water pressure in our room which left the shower with just a trickle
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location and nice grounds. Facilities limited due to COVID but still a good stay! The only thing was that the room was crazy hot overnight! Other than that it was great!
• Carolyn (8/5): Good value for money - Good value for money. Was a shame that the tables and chairs were removed due to covid. Can't really understand why this was because plastic tables and chairs caazn easily be wiped down. Didn't seem right when all the other areas were closed also.
• Laura (8/5): Great price & location - Really reasonable price, in a lovely location and building. Staff really friendly and felt clean / hygienic. Ideal for a group of friends wanting a night way to go hiking and exploring around beautiful Castleton.
• Hikers (2/5): - Rude Common areas closed WiFi very weak and drops connection Toilet leaked With a smelly towel to capture the water yet still asked us to stay There
• Eliza (4/5): - Amazing location! The main building also looks stunning and there is a lovely picnic area. However, if you want to sleep at night, it’s not a place to do that, as other guests will keep you awake until 2am and from 5am. For a hefty price (that’s what you normally pay for a 3*hotel in larger cities - at least that’s what we paid for this room in this hostel), you are getting a very short bunk bed with a super hard mattress, a dusty carpet, ensuite without any towels etc and an extremely noisy room. You are also expected to strip off your bedding.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Pleasant ,helpful staff. Good cooking facilities. Clean.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Stunning building and site, with beautiful surrounding grounds. Great self-catering facilities in the annex we stayed in.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Building was lovely, When I booked via internet it come up at £29 and to our surprise when we arrived it went up to £39 and when I should them my booking they said it was because I have a en-suite which I never asked for .. I think when your given a price they should stick to it even if they decide to change your room from the original booking
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This is my favourite YHA accommodation. Amazing location, perfect for walking and visiting the nearby town and cavern. The communication prior to my stay was super helpful which made my stay more enjoyable. Hopefully will retrun soon :o)
• Craig (6/5): Nice building, pleasant grounds. Value for money?? - It was ok. The location is nice, 15 minute walk into Castleton. We had the double private ensuite. I just don't think YHA accommodation is value for money any more. You basically get a bunk bed and that's it. So no TV, towels or tea making facility. Of course I knew this when booking but it's getting to the stage now that for a few more quid you can get the extras from a B&B. If you are looking for the cheapest option for relative comfort then this place is for you.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful building great common area fab surrounding
