Lovely hostel in a great location with friendly staff.

9.0

Location is wonderful, although not particularly near the local shop, but OK if you have a car. It is peaceful here and the grounds and ambience of the area are wonderful. The hostel evening meals were good value for money.

it would have been nice to have a basin in a cubicle for a private basin wash. Shower was the only option for this. But that is not really a big problem.

Location is great for walking and a really affordable place to stay for a solo traveller

The kitchen had closed at 8pm, for a late arrival its not ideal as there is nowhere else to eat
