Location, location, location. Not only the wonderful views, but an excellent place to eat out across the road and a coffee shop in this small village. Actually wished I had booked my meal at the Hostel as it was Cumberland Sausage. Fully equipped kitchen and possibility of eating outside in the garden. Spacious rooms, best nights sleep I had had in ages.

Elizabeth

Excellent friendly hostel on village green opposite cracking pub in lovely village.

David

Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Rooms/toilets were clean and comfortable. We went as a family and they enjoyed their stay. Food was delicious. Would recommend to friends and family.

Arwa

It was easy to find, in a stunning location. It was also really nice to be able to use the facilities before checking in, so we didn't have to stay out in the rain waiting to check in as we arrived early. The girl was really helpful and welcoming. A really lovely place to stay- definitely beat camping on a rather blustery, rainy night!

It appeared that the dehumidifier was out of order in the drying room so there was a slight musty smell in there.
