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.

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!

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.

It was great! Very nice staff, loved the food, loved the activities and it was always a great time. I enjoyed my time there very much and I would go there again the only downside was the fact to get to the rooms it's 92 steps but to be honest it's worth it as the rooms are very spacious, with soft beds and outputs for plugs and USB drives on the wall it also had heating!

The hostel has everything you need for cheap stay, with no frills. We were training for the Spine Race, and it had everything you needed. The rooms are clean, and the hostel is located a few minutes' drive from the Spine Race start point. What was really good was the food. The menu has got a lot to choose from considering you're at a hostel, not a restaurant, and the prices are reasonable. The breakfast, though, is 100% worth it. You get loads for what you pay for, and it definitely fills you up. A beautiful building located in a beautiful part of the country, great food and cheap rooms. Can't go wrong.

Beautiful location. Friendly staff. Here for the Spine race. Shuttle bus laid on to get us from the station to the hostel. Staff added an extra one to get us to the start in the morning when we asked Evening meal was ok, bit expensive for chilli and rice tbh at £10. Breakfast better value, you could have what you wanted in the price but it's not a buffet, which is a good thing in my opinion. Facilities were all clean and the grounds are beautiful.

At its core I thought the hostel was good. Service from the staff was delightful & the food as ever - was on par with other YHA Hostels I have stayed at However, alongside there not being any hot water, (surprising for a Monday afternoon with few people staying) the men’s facilities are in dire need of funding for a refresh. Other than that, a great stay, great people and the staff were amazing as ever.
