Liked: The staff and owners of this place are fantastic. We felt like we were at home rather than in a hostel. They even bought us free Subway sandwiches and offered us some of the owners Birthday cake! Top marks for friendliness and the rooms were also clean, tidy and there were excellent facilities.

Disliked: Nothing, I wish I could have stayed longer.

Liked: Wonderful character, creaky floorboards and extremely comfortable beds. It wasn't far from the centre of town but a car is advisable if you want to explore the area. The kitchen and living areas were spotless and great places to hang out and meet people (although we were staying when it was virtually empty).

Disliked: Lady behind the desk was mildly rude, but nothing too serious. Just had to put up with her moaning about why we'd booked through HostelBookers and not direct with them.
