•Fantastic Location •The Shower was incredible •Eileen…she couldn’t do enough! •WI-FI The rooms were basic but functional. The kitchen and dining room well equipped. Seriously, the showers were amazing. Worth the bunkhouse fee alone! I was in room 3 and could pick up the WI-FI from the room.

Louise

Very comfortable stay, exceeded my expectations. Lovely pub and food too.

Molly

The facilities were very clean and the beds and cabins were cosy and warm. Walking outside you have spectacular views of mountains and you can sit to eat and drink on the picnic benches. Additionally, the kitchens had a kettle, microwave, oven, hob and fridge for use. There's also a steep hill walk just behind the cabins where at the top you'll get an even clearer amazing view of the landscape. All for a very decent price!

Hutchison

Clean, perfect location, warm, hot showers, good pub food, brilliant views, friendly staff, great for familys

Rob

United Kingdom

It's a perfect place when you just need a bed for the night, or even for a longer period. There is a kitchen with a fridge, cooker, toaster, utensils, plates, cups, pans, so you can bring your own food and cook if you're on a budget. The toilets and showers were clean and the bedrooms were ok too. For £14 a night per person at such a beautiful location, what more could you want. We'll definitely be back asap. The staff were extra friendly too and made us feel welcome.
