Hope Valley hostels

Hope Valley hostels are more akin to grand country mansions in this area of the North Midlands. For a very family-friendly one, that’s nothing like the dormitory experience of a typical hostel, book through KAYAK at Yha Eyam – Hostel. The kids will love its castle-like design, complete with a central turret. There’s plenty to keep everyone occupied, from a games room with a pool table to board games for children. You’ll have access to a shared kitchen, and if you prefer, you can eat at the on-site restaurant, which serves kids’ meals. For in-between snacks and drinks there’s a vending machine, and laundry facilities are also available.

If you’re looking for a couple’s holiday and want a touch of luxury, you’ll find Yha Castleton Losehill Hall very much to your liking when you’re browsing Hope Valley hostels. It’s an old country house with plenty of on-site amenities; there’s a restaurant, a coffee shop and a bar to look after your culinary needs, and you can order special diet menus if necessary. The establishment has a small gift shop, and you can relax in a classic old English lounge with deep leather couches and armchairs. You can also spend your time in the quiet library, out on the patio or in the rustic garden. Laundry services and central heating are provided, and the hostel has been adapted for limited mobility access.

For those visiting the Peak District for its natural attractions, Hope Valley hostels provide a very good starting point for excursions. If you stay at Rushop Hall, you’ll only be about 1 mile (1.8 km) from Dale Head and about 3 miles (5 km) from Peak District National Park. You can also visit Chestnut Centre Otter, Owl and Wildlife Park, which is a similar distance from your accommodation. The hostel’s amenities are a little on the basic side, which is all you’ll really need if you’re spending most of your time on day trips, and it does offer a very handy airport shuttle.

If you want to ensure you grab a bargain, try to book more than 90 days before your stay to get the best price for a Hope Valley hostel.
