This amazing old historic building is an incredible place to stay - especially at the great value of the YHA. We stayed in a private ensuite room with a double bed - extremely luxurious for a hostel! But it lost none of the quirky character and outdoor ethos we love so much. Great facilities, friendly staff and excellent food. Perfect location just a short walk from stunning Dovedale and other beautiful places to walk and explore.

The landscape on arrival is breathtaking. checking in is easy and welcoming. the options of walks hikes or relax are as you choose. I felt comfortable and cared for as well as well informed of the area. A definite must for anyone solo or a team x

This was our first family stay at a youth hostel with our 2 children aged 5 and 2. As our 3 year old has complex needs it was a bit of a gamble but we managed to source her an accessible room in the courtyard with one parent, and the other parent and child stayed in the house (next time we would love to book the 2 accessible rooms side by side so we can stay closer together as a family unit). The AMAZING thing about this hostel Is that as it is on national trust land they have installed a changing places toilet next to the accessible rooms. For those who require these facilities this makes this YHA one of a kind and truly accessible and usable by people with complex needs and their carers. We were able to access the dining room and lounge and have lovely walks in the grounds as a family. We loved it and will definitely aim to return!

We are regular visitors to the YHA establishments. However our recent experience of Ilam was pretty terrible. We are very laid back, but even we got fed up with this place. Rooms were taken over or hired out privately leaving us with a few wooden stools to sit on in the games room, listening to 4 hours of ping pong. Kids running everywhere. The rooms and toilets were shabby. Showers cool. Breakfast just warm on first day better on the second. Bar rubbish. Games locked away in a private room no access as it was hired out for a group. We went to bed at 9.30 to overcome the boredom. Book Hartington YHA its fantastic.

Negatives - findings the place! There needs to be better signage and there is nil lightning from car park to the builidng. Its very very dark arriving. And trying to find the place and the care park. Positives- everything else! Car park and building felt safe, and it's a beautiful location and building. Inside felt like every other yha, which is a bit of a shame but practical and functional. Clean. It was soooo warm! Which was a pleasant suprise. But also you could control this yourself once in the room. I chose a private room shared bathrooms. Which again. Functional but clean and fine. Staff were lovely! Facilities good and i really wish i could have stayed for breakfast looked great. Id love to come back here with more time and see the national trust site, village and area. The walking routes and info at reception are fabulous. The coffee is great. Will be back !

Such an amazing place with lovely staff and incredible views of the peaks. we found it by chance but we will definitely be coming back for a longer stay. Great atmosphere for walkers and families alike, lots of room for people to mix or to take time out and relax

We stayed here while we were visiting Alton towers, it’s a beautiful place to stay, set in large grounds with outstanding scenery all around. The family rooms with en-suite are nice and clean, and it was a bargain at £41 for the night. Staff were lovely, and the facilities were good with a well equipped kitchen, pool and table tennis tables, and good sized social areas.
