Helpful staff, great showers and beautiful location. We also had a heater in the room which was great!
United KingdomWe have stayed here before and absolutely love it. The staff and service was outstanding despite Covid situation
United KingdomEven though it was remote, it was in a beautiful location. There were some excellent walks all in easy reach of the hostel. It was just a shame that the weather was the way it was. The layout was lovely. The room was big enough for all six of us, with very plump pillows and think duvets. The staff were helpful. The facilities were pleasant. The self catering kitchen was stocked with all the utensils you could need. The grounds and the building itself are gorgeous, so all well worth a visit. Especially if you are on a walking holiday.
