    What a lovely place to stay. Even if you are not Backpackers. There is a kitchen and places to make a group barbecue. Nice people and nice location. Quiet but not far from the small village.

    Very friendly welcome by staff, location easy to find. Pool table available to use. Kitchen facilities with free tea/coffee. Room was a great size with a huge double bed and bunk beds (the top bunk did squeak quite a lot, but it was doable)...
