Castleton Losehill Hall Youth Hostel

Situated in the heart of the Peak District National Park, Castleton Losehill Hall Youth Hostel is a fully refurbished gothic mansion, set within 27 acres of parkland and offering stunning views across its picturesque surroundings.

Castleton itself is one of the Peak District’s most charming villages, with Peveril Castle, plenty of small, independent shops and numerous pubs for guests to explore and enjoy. Castleton is also famed for its caves and caverns, most notably the Blue John Cavern, and is a haven for walkers, with walks up Mam Tor amongst a vast range of routes.

The hostel

The hostel has 146 beds in 36 rooms, most of which have en-suite facilities. YHA Castleton Losehill Hall is finished to a high standard and boasts a licensed bar and luxurious social areas. There is plenty of comfortable furniture to relax on and gorgeous finishing touches like a woodburning stove and atmospheric candles.

The West Mews with its 28 beds in 7 rooms can be booked exclusively for your group, it has its own kitchen and lounge so is completely self contained.

Camping Barn

Castleton Losehill Hall Youth Hostel camping barn is now open and available for hire. Heating and cooking is done via a wood-burning range stove, which makes the place really cosy. The stove is also great for baking – it makes lovely bread! You’ll also find hot water, a hot shower and a toilet. The six beds are on a mezzanine sleeping platform, accessed by a ladder, and can be arranged as two doubles and two singles or six singles.

The barn is accessed on foot from the car park, so bring your boots and a torch as the (3 minute) walk takes you through our Magic Wood and over a stream by the Waterwheel Bridge. Car parking is available in the main car park.

The barn has been renovated using recycled materials with timber from our own woodlands (a mix of oak, ash and sycamore). Our cosy interior has antique leather armchairs, the world’s only ‘rocking stool’ and there is a big picnic bench outside for sunny days and peaceful nights. There is no Wi-Fi and little phone signal but there are wonderful starlit skies, wild flowers, badgers, birds and bats for entertainment.
