Located in Leek, within 18 km of Alton Towers and 20 km of Buxton Opera House, Leek Camping Barns provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is situated 23 km from Trentham Gardens, 31 km from Capesthorne Hall and 39 km from Chatsworth House.

All rooms in the hostel are equipped with a kettle. Guest rooms will provide guests with a fridge.

We loved the room so much! It was open, airy, spacious, comfortable, very accommodating, quiet and tranquil. I was massively surprised at how accurate the reviews were. It seemed like a gamble at first, taking my 3 nieces away with me and my husband, thinking they might complain- but they absolutely loved it! So did I. I loved the rustic theme, the fact there were so many beds to choose from- the location of the toilet was perfect for me. I liked that the toilet was so old school using chippings rather than water. There were wild chickens roaming which was super cute. We got to sit and have a campfire going (we brought our own fire wood) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We went to Alton Towers theme park over the course of two days and the location was brilliant for that. There is also a garage just down the road (kinda need a car) which was handy for snack/food and milk etc.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We have stayed here previously, love the location and the views the property brings. It’s a lovely converted barn, the girls love, going to the rocks, there are trail walks like luds church you can start straight from the door step. Barn comes with its own private garden which was brilliant for our younger autistic daughter to run around and be safe as it was fenced and gated off. We went to Matlock to do the steam train one day, and a day at the peak wildlife park, which the kids loved. Still be staying again next year.

    Location was great, Lidl’s opposite the property so noisy at night with deliveries. But great location for visiting the surrounding area.

    Great location with on street parking available right outside, if you get there early enough, but loads of parking around Leek anyway. Very safe property as the front door was on a locking system. Even a little outside space which did catch some sunshine for an outside breakfast.
