Backpacking / gap year

19 February 2011 Penny would recommend this property

Liked: Everything you need in 1 room; sink, kettle, toaster, plates, mugs, cuttlery and tv. Big communal bathroom and even bigger kitchen and dining area. Kitchen had more than enough hobs and utensils available and was all very clean and tidy. Shame its in such a quiet area, although a great place to stay if you've spent the day admiring the nearby lakes. Such a great hostel wasted in a small town, wish more places were up to these standards!

Disliked: nothing

Liked: Not much

Disliked: The walls between each room were think so we could hear everything that was going on in the room next to us and also the hall way. The sink was in the room, not the bathroom.
