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.

    Great location, interesting layout, well designed and equipped kitchen (including essentials like tea, salt, oil, spices, etc.), brilliant views over the river. Host was fantastic - when we queried the lack of a cafetière, she had one delivered the next day. Great bird life in the garden (including blue tits nesting in a bird box). Toys and colouring books for the children were a very nice touch.

    Great location - though unfortunately the road was closed off for building work - and it took us a while to actually access the property. The manageress on duty was very apologetic about the wait. But once we got settled in - we enjoyed our stay. The room was small but very nicely appointed and very comfy with everything we needed. Breakfast was in the cafe downstairs and was excellent! The car park is a short walk away but easy to access and appears to be quite safe as it is kept locked.
