Liked: The rooms were large and the showers were good. The property itself is perfect and it really is a castle :-)

Disliked: The fact that the hostel is closed to all between 10 am and 3 pm can be quite annoying.

Liked: The building is beautiful. The rooms and kitchen are nice and clean.

Disliked: It is next to a busy road. And it is quite difficult to get to the walks by public transport. I would recommend it for people travelling by car, but not for people travellig by trains and buses.

Liked: Beautiful building with lovely views.

Disliked: Staff that were not friendly (a smile costs nothing), the hostel shuts between 10am and 3pm so you need to leave, it also locks its doors at 12 midnight so you must be home before then. There are no lights up the driveway if you are thinking about walking home later at night.
