Wonderful location, friendly and helpful staff, good facilities &very clean.

Very friendly people, and gorgeous sights

A gem of a place to stay within a beautiful area. Beds and showers were really good but both dining and self-catering facilities needs improvement. We used the hostel as a base to explore the surrounding area and walks so it was perfect for us.

My sister and I stayed here whilst visiting a alton Towers and we had a brilliant stay. It was our first time in a YHA, the house was beautiful and in such a great location, very rural and pretty. All of the team were very helpful and welcoming. We made use of the nice lounge areas, bar and cafe for dinner and breakfast. We both felt the hostel was excellent value and we are planning lots more trips at YHA venues with our families.

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 its 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. We went 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 !

Fantastic value for money, very clean, building is old so expect condensation on windows and the like. If we had been organised would have taken a bag of microwave dinners and milk, communal kitchen has everything you could need. Only thing I missed was a kettle in room for cups of tea. Food from restaurant: breakfast very good with everything hot and tasty and as much as you like. Evening meal good but again my preference I would have liked hot water and teas and coffees left out like breakfast.

Attended with my son in an en suite room, for a trip to nearby Alton Towers. It is basic, but clean and perfect for our requirements. Wifi nit very good if this is required.

Very nice, clean, friendly, no wifi or phone signal.
