You guys sum up what hosteling should be like - keep it up

A beautiful hostel set within a stunning town. The facilities were amazing and it was a really pleasant surprise to have tea, coffee and cereal provided. The hostel was pristine. The check in was easy – this was a 5 star stay!!!! We stayed in many hostels along our Pennine Way hike and your hostel was by far the best. Some hostels provided no bedding options or not so much as a tea bag, which was poor and at substantially greater cost. You guys sum up what hosteling should be like – keep it up

Newly refurbished hostel, what a lovely stay!

A welcoming, stylish and comfortable venue for our overnight on the Pennine Cycleway bike trip. Very clean, well organised and comfortable room, common lounge and self – catering kitchen, this last thoughtfully provided with basics like teabags. Only 5 minutes walk down to ‘town’ (10 minutes back, this is Hebden Bridge!) and good advice from Jill on ‘where to eat’. Great place, will return.

Fantastic hostel, great location a short steep walk up from the centre of Hebden Bridge.

Lovely staff and well-designed 4 bed rooms with plenty of space. Cannot recommend highly enough if you want to visit the Calder valley

A superb little spot

…not the spartan space you might expect from the word hostel. Well run, safe, welcoming and lovely shared spaces indoors and outdoors. Highly recommend, especially for the solo traveller.

It certainly won't be my last time here!!

After a long stomp over the misty moors from Oxenhope via Gorple and Heptonstall, it was nice to get such a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. Comfortable en-suite room meant I slept like a log!!
My first time in a hostel (I usually go b&b or hotel) but it certainly won’t be my last time here!!
