YHA Edale Activity Centre

First time staying in a hostel and it felt like a bit of an adventure. Was there for a couple of nights with friends to see Mam Tor at sunrise. Our room was clean and airy. We were lucky enough to have an en-suite which was a nice surprise. Henry greeted us on arrival and couldn’t do enough for us. Getting maps out, photocopying walks, supplying us with milk. No question was too much. We found everywhere really relaxing even though it was busy. I would definitely recommend to friends who want to explore the area and being in the middle of the hills was great. ||Thank you for being part of a memorable weekend in the peaks.

Friendly staff, friendly customers. Nice big clean kitchen. Fantastic location for any outdoor activities. We had a 4 share private dorm. The room was clean and all the lights and charging points worked well.

Had the “nursery” room which was great + we had our own bathroom! Kitchen staff were lovely and the two guys on reception in the morning and evening were also really friendly and informative! Did manage to get lost on the walk to the hostel from the station but by car it’s 5 mins up the road!

My bedroom door didn't lock from the inside. I think this needs to be addressed by management as soon as possible. Guests should be able to lock themselves in at night. Otherwise, I had a good stay and staff was very friendly.

I can’t believe more people don’t use the YHA. The facilities were pristinely clean, the staff were great and the other guests friendly. Our room was really quiet and had its own bathroom. Will definitely return and stay for longer.

Great friendly and helpful staff. Great views. Great Location. This was the perfect place to stay for a walk around Edale and the surrounding area. I was given advice on a walking route. Breakfast was nice and there was a quiet common room to unwind. I would recommend this place if visiting in a group or solo. The nearest pub is a 20-30min walk from the hostel via a walking path but bring a torch.

The hostel was lovely and warm and it was clean. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. Breakfast (full English) was good. Only downside was that the self-catering kitchen had to be accessed by going outside, across an unlit yard and in through another door, which is not much fun first thing in the morning just to make a cup of tea.

Beautiful place set in a gorgeous wooded spot halfway up the side of the valley; special shoutout to the wonderful staff, most especially Mash, who, when the clasp on my bumbag broke, helped me McGyver up a fix in about fifteen seconds flat. An absolute rockstar!
