Come and book a room at Shining Cliff hostel, the hostel in the woods, for family fun adventures this summer. Affordable outdoor adventures await!
We have private rooms available from Sunday – Thursdays for just £20 per adult and £15 per child, with shared communal facilities including a well equipped self-catering kitchen.
Come and stay at this magical woodland hostel, with no TV but hours of play and exploration of the stunning ancient woodland with streams, Mermaids Pool and crags to discover. During August there are resident volunteer wardens to welcome you to the hostel on arrival and to help out with any questions.
The hostel is uniquely situated off-road in the heart of the ancient Shining Cliff woods. If you arrive by car the adventure starts by loading up your belongings in the private woodland car park into the hostel wheelbarrows, and then walking half a mile along a beautiful woodland footpath to the hostel. If you arrive by bus or train, we provide thorough walking directions to guide you through the woods to the hostel.
The hostel is surrounded by acres of woodland, wake up in the morning and grab a cuppa to sit outside and simply listen to the beautiful birdsong and peace and quiet.
The hostel has an awesome fire pit area that nestles up against the crags giving the woodland their name, the Shining Cliffs. Pre-order some logs and a firelighting pack and use the resources in the hostel fire-pit box to cook on the campfire, and create magical memories with your family and friends.
We are well set up for children staying, with a great range of story books and toy boxes, plus a cot and high chair, kids cutlery and crockery, a bathroom step and kids toilet seat.
And if you would like to venture further afield, the Peak District National Park and the Derwent Valley World Heritage site are on the doorstep, giving you a huge choice of wonderful places to visit. Our nearest village, Ambergate has a train station, and from there you can explore Matlock Bath and Cromford Mills. By car or bus you can explore the Peak District with stunning walking routes, cycle paths and beautiful villages.
Book your room now for some wonderful summer adventures!
