YHA Hartington Hall

The check in was easy and clear instructions were provided about the facilities. Clean room with comfortable bed. Unfortunately there was no WiFi in the room that I stayed in and no mobile phone coverage on Vodafone for calls or mobile data. WiFi was available in the main building which had a bar and restaurant. The price of the room was very good.

Fantastic place. Great for walkers, cyclists & anyone that wants to discover the area.

Stayed in a 6 bed private room with en-suite, which offered enough space. The building was especially interesting, maintaining many of its historic features. Comunal lounge areas were a nice environment, although shared kitchen was rather small. Village of Hartington is only 2 min walk from hostel, with a few pubs and cafes. We ate at Devonshire Arms and Charles Cotton Hotel which were very good. Main downside was parking. When we turned up on the Friday evening to check in, the car park was full with cars parked all down the road too. We did manage to get a space on the other nights we stayed, but the car park could do with some marked bays, or being extended to increase capacity. Also, and a small critique, was the bathrooms did not have enough shelves/towel hooks. This was a similar issue in the bedrooms, with no where to put things other than on the floor. Aside from that a good stay and would recommend.

My daughter-in-law will be leading a residential school trip here in a couple of weeks, so we came to see the accommodation (and surrounding areas) in person. The hostel is in a fantastic location - close to local amenities, and it’s a great base from which to explore. I loved the building itself - it dates back to the 17th century and has retained its charm with beautiful stained glass windows and oak panelling throughout. We had a look at the dormitories, some of which have en-suite facilities. The rooms were clean and looked very comfortable. There are also Land Pods and Bell Tents within the grounds - which is somewhere I would love to stay at some point. Whilst there we ate in their restaurant - and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. They also cater for dietary requirements. All the staff we met were very friendly and really helpful. Highly recommended.

Historic building in a Derbyshire Dales village. Hostel serving food all day. Village has two shops selling snacks pasties and papers plus 2 pubs. Great food at the local pub hotel. Check in from 3 pm. We visited the Crich Tramway village which was close by.

Beautiful old medieval building with tons of character. Very warm and cosy in our Barn accommodation block. Kitchen very clean and tidy. A very warm welcome from Jack and the team at reception. We did two of the advertised walks to Pilsbury which were very enjoyable. WiFi in the main areas but not everywhere. Highly recommend.

I had a great stay at Hartington, staying 2 nights on a cycle touring trip. It's a fascinating building, with lots of quirky spaces, and comfortable areas for both resting in, and for eating in. There is a sense of history about the place. The team at Hartington were very friendly and welcoming.

I’ve stayed in a lot of YHA hostels. Reception were nowhere to be found on check in. Parking is hugely oversubscribed- probably because of all the extra camping. Unless you’re arriving early, assume check in will take 45 minutes and that there will be nowhere to park. Rooms were as expected.

Lovely location & friendly staff. Flies EVERYWHERE which was a mega pain when trying to sleep. I understand the YH is next to a farm and with warmth= fly's. However, fly paper or window screens in the bedrooms would help a lot. It's a common pest which could be handled much better. The only fly paper seen about the place was in the kitchen.
