Accommodation at YHA Youlgreave

Bed in a shared room

Dorms are not currently available. 

Dorm rooms have multiple beds, are typically more affordable than private rooms, and shared with other people who may not be travelling together. A typical shared room includes bunk beds, a reading light and a storage cupboard for each guest, secured by a padlock if required.

Children aged between 12 and 15 can stay in dorm rooms as long as an adult of the same gender accompanies them.

Some dorms may be en-suites, meaning that they have a bathroom in the room that you would be sharing with the other people in your dorm.

Private rooms

Don't fancy sharing a room? Private rooms typically include a storage cupboard for each bed, secured by a padlock if required, a reading light and a wash hand basin. Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room.

Hire the whole place

This hostel is occasionally made available for hire on an exclusive basis. This means that you can have the place to yourself and choose how many of your friends, family, club mates, etc., join you.

We allocate availability for exclusive use in blocks, typically up to 90 days in the future. If you are looking for space to stay with us on a normal shared basis, and can’t see any availability three months or more into the future, then this hostel may be being held for Exclusive Hire.

History

The building was purpose built as a Co-Op in 1887. The Youlgrave Co-Op catered to much of the local population’s needs, even supplying the village with electricity until 1910. However, the Co-Op finally closed its doors in 1968. By 1975 the building was once again open to the public but this time as a Youth Hostel, making use of the improved transport links to welcome visitors from all over the country and opening up the picturesque village in its beautiful setting to a much wider audience. Youlgrave village is set in the picturesque White Peak area of the Peak District, so-named because of the limestone which makes up much of its geology. The local area has a rich history of agriculture and mining. Evidence of both can be found in nearby Lathkill Dale, a beautiful valley which is home to ruins of old mine buildings. The towns of Bakewell and Matlock Bath are located nearby offering a wealth of sightseeing, shopping and attractions.
