This big Victorian mansion has recently been refurbished and is now a top youth hostel. Our room was clean and basic (bunk beds) - it did the job well. Communal areas are very comfortable, spacious, well lit and modern. We ate in the dining room for breakfast and dinner - food was more or less what you would expect from... More

This was the first time at this hostel having previously stayed at the earlier Castleton Hostel. We found this updated building perfectly suited to our needs as we were two grandparents with two young families of our daughters and husbands. So we had three well equipped family rooms - all en suite. The Hostel in its own 20 acre grounds,... More

As hostels go this one is pretty good. The location is great for walking. The rooms are well equipped with private facilities. The self catering kitchen is spacious. There are plenty of lounge areas. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will almost certainly make a return visit. Great base for a family / friends walking weekend.

This Youth hostel was Excellent. We loved the space in the self-catering kitchen and the drying room was brilliant for when we had soaking wet boots after a lot of walking. The lounge was very big which was great and the fact our room was en-suite was brill. Overall the stay was fab.

After a long walk up mam tor we got back and put our wellies in the drying room which was relatively good and then went to our rooms. There was 3 bunkbeds with clean sheets folded up. Each... More

We stayed in the 'new' Castleton hostel for a few days away in the peaks and was genuinely surprised by the excellent quality of the accommodation and friendliness of the staff. It had been about 13 years since my last stay with the Youth Hostel Association, and I can safely say that everything I knew has changed; sleeping bags stayed... More

Stayed as a couple for a winter break as a base for walking. Place was really spotless and the self catering kitchen was large and very new. We had both dinner and breakfast at the hostel and both were good, with the breakfast being very good and excellent value compared to the pubs in the village, with plenty to eat... More

recently done up by the YHA, this stunning property has comfortable family rooms in huge attractive gardens. My kids loved it. Cheap, clean and staff freindly and helpful. Just outside Castleton. Lots of space inside for the family to enjoy.

We stayed on a family break. First time family stay at a YH. My husband and I did a fair bit of backpacking many years ago but first time hostelling with our children and what a difference! Lovely building, staff, rooms and ensuite facilities. Spotlessly clean and modern. Our children loved the (comfortable) bunk beds with their own light and... More
