Staff were friendly and helpful, location handy and beautiful, with red squirrels nearby and nesting house martins. My only suggestion would be that - as we should be reducing meat and dairy consumption for environmental reasons - vegetarian breakfast should be the norm.

Great place but cook your own breakfast 😂
The room were fabulous and clean . The staff were great . We had prepaid breakfast continental £7 cereal, toast, Butter and Jams, small yogurts and fruit juice coffee and tea not worth £7 each. Full breakfast £9 . Bacon sausage beans and black pudding. The kitchen area or all to use was fab used it some nights . The meals on the the menu were £9 for the main meal good size portion.

Perfect stay in the hostel. Clean and tidy. Kitchen facilities are good for cooking and also the dinner was served in a reasonable price. The pub near to the hostel had live music and cheap drinks. All activities near to the hostel. Wifi and charging mobile phones were the negatives. Atleast one charging port in the rooms would have been helpful.
