Great experience! The days at the hostel were great. The tasks are quick and simple, and communication in the group is very good. I recommend it to all travelers who want to stay in a great location in the Peak District!

I absolutely loved volunteering at YHA Hostel! The housekeeping tasks were well divided among volunteers, making everything easier. Some days were busy, while others were more relaxed, leaving us plenty of time to explore the beautiful Peak District. The hostel is comfortable, well-equipped and located in the hostel, with a supermarket nearby. We enjoyed many hiking trails surrounded by stunning nature. A big thank you to Andrew and Jediah for their kindness and excellent communication. I highly recommend this experience!

I had an amazing time in the hostel! The hostel team was super kind and quick to answer questions or help with problems. I enjoyed my time with the other volunteers and spend a lot of time hiking in the beautiful nature around the hostel. There was a lot of free time for that because the hostel work was super chill and not hard at all. I would definitely recommend this hostel if you like hikes and Beautiful nature!

I had a really good experience staying here! Andrew is a very kind and friendly person who enjoys having conversations and making you feel welcome. The location is also great. You can easily take the bus or train to explore different places nearby, and there is beautiful nature in the surrounding area. The train station is only a 7-minute walk away, which makes travelling around very convenient. the hostel itself also has everything you need, including a local supermarket, a greengrocer, restaurants and cosy pubs. It's a lovely village with a lot to offer! Overall, I really enjoyed my stay

I had a fantastic experience in the hostel and would definitely recommend it to others! The work is not too difficult and you get plenty of time to explore the Peak District. I got along really well with the other volunteers and Andrew did an excellent job at making sure everything ran smoothly after Hayden left.

This experience has been my favorite Worldpackers exchange so far! Andrew, the manager that I met, is so kind, understanding, respectful, caring, and just incredibly helpful! I met wonderful people from different countries, the tasks are simple and easy, and the hostel is clean and cozy. The area is the best part of this stay! The village is the perfect size, with some cute cafes, two nice pubs, and surrounded by beautiful nature! There are so many trails around the village in walking distance from the hostel, and so many sheep! Highly recommend if you enjoy hiking, and cozy villages!

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel. Hayden was an amazing host, always caring about the volunteers, making sure that we feel comfortable and like at home. The work was easy and manageable. In the hostel's common areas you can meet other travellers who are often open to a conversation. Peak District is beautiful with a lot of cool hikes. Would definitely recommend that experience.

I couldn't have asked for a better first worldpackers experience! The hostel itself is wonderful, quaint and quiet, but you'll find yourself people to play card games with, and you have colleagues, remember? The work was very fair, most days we'd even be done a bit early, weekends tended to be busier. I felt extremely welcomed by Hadyen, the Host, and my amazing Co-Volunteers. They explained everything I needed to know to do my job properly and made evening hangouts fun. And of course, the nature of the Peak District was a plus as well! Would always recommend, would always come again!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
