Marina United Kingdom

Very friendly host who help me a lot during the storm that caused the cancellation of many ferry. Helpful in everything actually. She showed me the way to get to the trail and how to spot the seals in the bay.

Mat Italy

The host was one of the most welcoming and lovely people we encountered on our entire 2 week trip. We are usually a bit cautious with staying in hostels but this one was totally spotless and the beds were very comfortable.

April Canada

Excellent location in the center of town near the ferry port and train station. Darina was incredibly friendly and took the time to show me around the property. Excellent value for the price.

Ronald United Kingdom

Great reception, lots of detail on hostel and the area. the beds were comfortable, room warm, bathrooms very clean. We all had a lovely experience!

Louise United States of America

Bed and bedroom were clean, towels were clean, kitchen and bathroom were clean. Great location close to train and ferry. Conveniently next to co-op and coffeeshops. Everything about this place was top notch, considering it is a hostel. Hostel keepers were pleasant and helpful. They even let us upgrade from bunkbeds to a double for my husband and I. All in all we had a great stay.

Michele United States of America

Staff were so friendly, they went out of their way to make sure we had a nice stay.

Wakely United Kingdom

Superb location right at the train station and ferry terminal. Co-Op right next door. Some good restaurants and a fantastic bakery just steps away. Staff so friendly and helpful. Very clean. Lovely little harbor, we had a great sunset.
