Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel was ideally located where we needed to be and catered for our large group. It was basic and quirky. The rooms were clean and everything was functional.

    Lovely charming cottage, full of character and in a great location. The mountain scenery is beautiful. There is a pub over the road and cafe a short walk away. We had everything we needed and Alex the host was very friendly and welcoming and made sure the heating was on for our arrival. Communication prior to our arrival was really good. Very dog friendly - would stay again!

    Lovely quirky place and reminded me of how youth hostels use to be- comfy, warm and good facilities to cook your own food. The couple who ran this hostel were excellent and very helpful. The bed was comfy and food shop next to hostel was added bonus.

    Clean Had everything we needed. Reminded me of youth hostels back in the days before they were so corporate, when they were as individual and quirky as their wardens. 🙂
