YHA Castleton Losehill Hall

2nd visit to the hostel but first time taking the tent. The grass area is massive and my little one loved the fact there are lots of sheep and lambs roaming freely. Another fantastic stay. The staff here are friendly and helpful and we loved spending time in the grand lounge. We will be returning again. Would definitely recommend this place for camping.

We have stayed in a number of different yha hostels, normally camping. This is by far the biggest hostel we have visited. We stayed in a camping pod, which shared a private field with 2 other pods (in the summer there is also a tipi). The toilet block was in an old stone building, which had a cosy loung and kitchen space. The main hostel had more of a hotel feel to it, large spacious lounge and communal areas and a huge amount of garden space. Tent camping is orea is on the main front lawn, a massive area. Location wise, its very close on foot to castleton, lots of pubs, cafes and shops. We loved staying in the pod and will definately be returning.

Returned after last years great experience. Great rooms, lovely reception team, great breakfast and dinner choices and also great self catering kitchen(s)! Can’t fault it in any way, and will most definitely return next year for our May half term stay.

I stayed in Castleton YHA, in November this is a classic YHA large old historical building with plenty of character is a beautiful setting, this YHA is very close to Castleton, the nearest Train station is Hope with bus service on the main road, or if you walk a little bit more on the pavement in to Hope there is another bus stop which you get more buses. The staff are friendly and helpful, there is the main building and another possible old stables. Food is severed but you do need to say if you want it for a reasonable price, likewise alcohol or pop is also sold. There was car parking. Overall a nice hostel. Think National Trust building. (YHA HQ. Please stop silly dynamic pricing systems to confuse )

We really enjoyed staying in the bell tent, cooking on a fire and the picturesque scenery around the campsite. We also appreciated the facilities of a toilet, warm shower and kitchen. The hostel was safe, welcoming and well located. Would highly recommend.

This isn't our first stay at a YHA but our first visit here. While it doesn't have the bells and whistles of York, for example, it was a brilliant stay. The staff were exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. The menu at York, for example, is more of a wish list. When ordering you always start by asking what they have available. However, here the food was delicious and always available. The ordering was easy and the time to come to table super quick, with any delays relayed to us before we ordered. Our room was clean but definitely needed a repaint and some fixing up (it was very tired) but it was super-clean and everything worked well. We had a few tiny issues and all of these dealt with very quickly. There were lots of maps providing details of the area and walks for all abilities. We met some lovely people here as well. The only issue was with connectivity - we had none - despite our best efforts. We were here to go climbing. However, we will be back to better explore the area as it so well situated in the Peaks. A real find.
