Room 32 in the Coach House had no lighting on the corridor so we had to find our way with phone torch and reception were unable to fix it so we carried on with the phone torch! stained pine bedside lockers and a room with just enough space for a double bed. honestly you'd expect better from YHA for £120. great breakfast in the morning though and the staff were friendly. it's just a shame our room was so disappointing and the corridor so dark! i've said as much to YHA but had no response

Beautiful near Buxton

Very helpfull staff, really nice building & rooms. Onoy spoiled slightly by rowdy school party in the room below (clearly the handlers were down the pub...) but not the fault of YHA. Great facilities beautiful location, why csmp when you can stay at places like this.

If you are into youth hostels this would be a great place to stay. The only thing is if you wanted a nice drink with a friend you are not allowed your own alcohol. Meaning you have to buy theirs! Not cheap! Staff were fairly friendly. The rooms were clean and tidy.

Would happily stay again

This hostel is wonderful. It is large but the bedrooms are large too so we didn’t feel cramped at all. The kitchen is excellent (All-be-it smallish for the number of people). The drying room is fantastic - dries sopping clothes overnight. The only negative was the mattresses - we’ve stayed in a lot of places & are not overly fussy but we had sore backs from these mattresses. There was a big hollow in mine. Also, as usual, don’t leave valuables in the car overnight - there was a van broken into while we were there. Otherwise, great place to stay.

Very high standard hostel

I use histels very often when on my travels as I always travel on a budget, and I have to say, this is a very high standard hostel, perfect for families and adults. The restaurant serves lovely food, the staff was friendly and helpful. There was a shower and a basin in my single room, which was a great bonus, the bed was comfy. The only minus during my stay was no signal/reception, I wasn't able to make any calls to my family to confirm that I'm safe (I travelled on my own), and the internet, even with the given wifi was simply very poor, so relying on google maps I couldn't plan in details my next day hikes. Other than that, it's a very good place in a perfect location to explore The Peak District.

We booked YHA for a night stay to continue our trip in the morning at the last moment. We did not read any reviews, facilities provided and we had no great expectations on the stay. We reached the destination at around 10:30pm, completely dark beside our vehicle, we have no idea where we are up to. Once reached, we had warm welcome from the receptionist, and directly crashed on our bed. On the morning once woke, we realized, we are in beautiful place, surrounded by lush green nature, great weather, peaceful, the place we stayed is awesome, the morning breakfast was fabulous with reasonable price. We did not like to leave the stay but have to depart with great experience. I highly recommend YHA Hartington Hall, Buxton, if planning to make a trip to peak district.
