    First time in a hostel and it was a pleasant experience. Bunkbeds in a segregated Dorm style room but enough privacy. Good toilets and showers and communal area with cooking facilities. And just a 5 minute stroll to the beach. Easy Parking.

    Lovely setting near a gorgeous beach. Friendly and helpful staff. Stewart advised us about a local beauty spot for a walk and we really enjoyed it. We wouldn't have found it otherwise. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable room and clean facilities.
