Great warden (Ben), very good facilities. Lovely spot.

Shaun United Kingdom

The location is stunning, the staff was lovely, nice facilities.

Andrea United Kingdom

Very clean, room was made up when we arrived and warm, showers were brilliantly powerful, great kitchen facilities, very close to the beach, the walk to the hostel is very short - some of the comments previously had said this was far, no issues with this. There is a lovely walk to a mill and a secluded beach which is well worth doing. Board games available too which was nice for the evening.

Chloe United Kingdom

The dorms were mixed and I was slightly put off by the idea, however, I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the way the dorm was set up with curtains creating privacy. This essentially gave me a private room. This could be reflected in the description and perhaps alleviate any concerns about sharing a space with mixed gender.

Larissa United Kingdom

Wonderful location. Nice and clean facilities. I felt young again.

Angelo United Kingdom

The location was superb and the kitchen facilities were spot on.

Rhonda Australia

Fabulous location. Its a hostel. Friendly wardens and friendly guests found on our visit

Kenneth Indonesia

You can’t beat the location of this place- absolutely stunning.

Tessa United States

Cosy room, the ‘wee breakfast’ was laid out for us, cereal, toast, yogurt and fruit, juice, coffee and tea and was just to ask if we needed more. Beautiful surroundings.

Audrey United Kingdom

Great location. Loved the chickens. Warden Ted very helpful.
