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.

    Got to the hostel hot and sweaty after a hot day's hiking, decided to try to upgrade to a 2-4 pers shared room rather than the 8 bed dorm room we had booked. Unfortunately staff said none available...however, they then said we were the only 2 in our dorm so it didn't matter! Plenty of room for 2 but would have been interesting with 8 full bunk beds. Beautiful common room in an old church building.

    Angela is a fantastic host she made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble if we needed anything and she was very helpful with lots of local information. The room was clean, nice and cosy. there was everything we needed with lots of different teas and coffee available. Breakfast was superb, the best that I have ever had at a B and B, the first time I'd been able to have all the components of a full English breakfast gluten free. A great location with lots of walks on the doorstep. We will definitely be visiting again.

    the huge room was potentially very good but let down by things like no shower/ bath safety handles, no coat hooks on doors, no closed wardrobe, no comfortable chairs, writing table, details but they spoilt the experience. Food was good and beer excellent and service friendly.

    Location was good for my requirements. As the hostel is self catering, facilities for preparing my own food were good
