Liked: Peaceful location, friendly staff, nice size rooms, plenty of amenities.
Disliked: Paper thin pillow, no plug socket near bed, no WiFi in dorms. Last one usually doesn't bother me but since the hostel is quite far out, there's not much cell signal so you can't really use mobile data.

The same price will get...

Liked: Nice setting on top of the downs with great views. Mixture of dormitory, camping pod and proper camping options.
Disliked: The key code provided dud not work and instead of an emergency number to the local staff, the number kept going through to other hostels, first York, then Bristol. They had to get the code and call back, but this process was long and arduous. When calling back to chase them up you kept getting through to others hostels. A ludicrous system which resulting in my 4 children being locked out until well after midnight. We eventually resorted to banging and making noise and some other guests let us in. Just have the local warden’s number for emergencies… which if you give out the correct code should be a rare occurrence. The usual over-zealous attitude to cleaning out the fridge. Throwing out anything that is unlabelled is not ethical as it wastes food. You only need to clear out stuff that is on its expiry date.

I loved my stay and...

Liked: Spacious, friendly, welcoming staff, the facilities were great, soap and sink in room.
Disliked: Some children were a bit noisy.
