Greg Daws

04 June 2010 Greg would recommend this property

Liked: An old style hostel with lots of rules about when you have to get up, when you can use the shower, and what you have to do. No Internet. No supermarket close. Doesn't open till 5pm to the minute. However it's clean and safe, has kitchen facilities, and it's the only one close to John O'Groats so you won't have choice.

Disliked: Greg left no negative feedback.
