Liked: It's a great place to chill out and relax - really quiet and peaceful. Graeme is unbelievably helpful and drove me into town to catch the bus for my onward journey.It is a little run-down, however, and could possibly do with some TLC and updating, but on the whole, it's a nice place.

Vincent Forrester

22 June 2009 Vincent would recommend this property

Liked: Graham (or is it Graeme?) and his partner are two wonderfully helpful hosts, and made us feel extremely welcome. Free washing facilities is a great bonus too, and the TV lounge is super relaxing and cosy. Furthermore, it's only a 12/15 minute stroll right into the centre of town. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone.
