The stay was truly fantastic. Check-in was very easy and the room was clean and super comfortable. They seemed to think of a lot of small details such as having enough plugs and towel holders in the room. Additionally, the kitchen and common room were clean, comfortable and very nice! All around a great experience and potentially the best hostel I ever stayed at! Staff was very responsive when I forgot something in the room.

- 9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 27 reviewsGreat location - a lovely beach is 5 minutes up the road in the car. You could walk to it, but the only route we could see took you along the main road. Lots of off road parking. Room sizes were good, beds were comfortable, the property was clean, warm and had everything we needed. Lovely clean bedding and towels. Great garden for the dog which he enjoyed! We had an issue with the electrics on our second night but Emma and Sean got it sorted really quickly and were super helpful in resolving the problem.

- Avg. price/night: £1908.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 598 reviewsLovely and clean, modern and the staff were really helpful. The room was a budget room. Although it was small it was a perfect size. It was decorated nice and had everything I needed to be comfortable. Shower room was clean and the wardrobe was a fantastic size. I could get bags, clothes and shopping in there so there was nothing on the floor to get in the way. The room had a Seaview and was spectacular.JaneSolo traveller

janetSolo traveller - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 400 reviewsBooked for a night after a meeting. It was the cheapest place available, and although advertised as a hostel the individual rooms are of a higher standard than expected. Comfortable bed, sitting area, fridge available and good shower. No complaints!LLiamSolo traveller
