We enjoyed our stay and would like to have stayed longer. The outside space was lovely, with table tennis and space to run about and play ball games. We spent the evening sat outside enjoying drinks from the bar and outdoor games with the kids. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, and we felt very relaxed there.

Lovely outdoor area .the food was tasty and the overall experience was amazing . I would completely recommend YHA national forest to anyone thinking about holidaying around the area.

We had taken a group to this YHA in July. We had just walked into the building and we had one of the door closer fall onto one of the group which they after had blamed us for the damage. They claimed we had made a noise on the ground which was true but as this seemed a very secluded area you should have been told that there are neigbours around. If you are looking for somewhere to have a great time as a group this is NOT the place.The staff on site had turned up early and claimed we had made a mess they never gave us a chance to tidy up prior to us leaving and they had then charged us extra for cleaning. I would recommend to keep far away from this hostel.

Very clean hostel and friendly staff. Room was good value for money and it was nice having an ensure. Beds were generally comfortable and bed linen was spotless. Bar area downstairs was clean and there was good service.

As always, a real treat to find this place. Great location for cycling and walking. Lovely staff, clean kitchen (could do with some more plates but overall a nice kitchen) and a reasonable little cafe too. Breakfast very hit n miss - I probably wouldn't bother with it next time as I spent £40 x 3 nights to breakfast the family, but there was not enough food really and disappointed that food ran out despite our having been told when to turn up for breakfast so as to stagger it for the staff.

Great accommodation at low rates in a fantastic location. We had two family rooms, which were clean and well looked after. We went to a family do and were glad to be able to let ourselves in late on the Saturday night. One had a problem with a shower that wouldn't turn off. When I reported it, the warden was helpful.

Perfect base for national forest, seeing friends and family fun. We went to the lowe alpine/rab shop to replace some kit. Arthur mcglen for an hour. Calke Abbey and back to yha for tea. Fab kitchen facilities. Then a night time walk with head torches. Then Sunday a day at conkers

There's no wifi in the rooms, it only costs £40 to buy a wifi extender, not exactly difficult to bring wifi to all areas of the hostel. It is the 21st century, there should be wifi available in the rooms. its daft that people are using up their data using 4G, which doesn't work in some rooms.

This hostel is a peaceful haven on the edge of the National Forrest. I visit year after year and always feel fully refreshed and rejuvenated when I leave - be it after one night or a week!. I find the location, layout and staff at the hostel all contribute to the amazing atmosphere at YHA National Forest. I fully recommend a stay here whether you be a great big family, a couple or just a single traveller.
