clean, homely, solid

Imposing, stone house beckoning to the pier from the top of the hill. Stepping inside, the feeling of space, tidiness, welcome. Smell of wood, large modern windows that are properly sealed, with wonderful views. Clean, spacious kitchen. This hostel has so much more class and comfort than most of the hotels I've stayed in in the UK.
