Liked: Amazing location away from it all! Very well run

Great stay

Liked: Location was lovely, it is a rocky path up to the hostel but it was fine in my little car, took it slowly
Disliked: Nothing, but possibly signs upstairs to remind people to be quiet if leaving early or getting to bed late. Everyone in my dorm was woken by a group leaving at 5am, they were laughing and joking - which woke everyone up. The same thing happened in the evening at 11.30pm.

Lovely Few Days

Liked: Perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. No phone reception, minimal WiFi. Plenty of books on a shelf. I didn't have a car so walked up from the bus stop which took me about 35 minutes. First section is very steep then it levels out a bit (I'm very unfit but found it doable and actually a pleasant walk). Friendly reception staff on arrival. Nice clean, modern cafe/sitting area. Great walks starting from the front door of the hostel. Looking forward to returning one day!
Disliked: Can easily hear people through the walls in other rooms so bring earplugs if this bothers you.
