"Excellent place to stay with a family, our 3,6 and 11 year olds loved the outdoor spaces, the gardens and play areas are fantastic and the lounge areas are also great for families. The room was a good size and the dining room had great food at decent prices, esp as kids eat for £1! You can walk directly from the hostel to many different paths into countryside or dovedale. Our family loved this place, I highly recommend it."

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic 'Emma' mattress gave a really good sleep. Room was basic but that was as expected. Location of Igloo impossible to beat..... is the most central location possible. Parked 5 mins away at St James' NCP for £10 for 24 hours. Overall very very good will return ( and very pleasant staff !)
