Lovely stay before we caught the ferry the next day. The host was so nice, giving instructions on where to catch the ferry and the special porridge she makes is yum! Highly recommend

Conveniently located with off street parking, the bunk in the dorm wasn't the most comfortable but typical of a hostel (I was a little concerned I'd fall out as there was no safety rail), the dorm room did have a wash basin which was handy, but the winner was the welcoming host and her amazing breakfast! I am already planning to stay again

Very friendly staff. I knew we had share bathroom, but didn't really like the Jack & Jill style, as one could hear everything through to the adjoining bedroom. Lovely owner. I wish her well.

Nice/clean backpackers, with all the necessary facilities and seperate rooms for families. Ideal for an overnight stay. The bonus is a free continental breakfast is provided (basic cereals, milk, toast, butter & spreads).
