The environment and location itself is brilliant. However very loud, doors slamming and my sister and niece got bit by a bedbug I am currently awaiting email response from management team. There is a £6 towel charge fee. On three occasions someone tried opening our door between the hours of 12am-1:20am. I guess that was due to them being intoxicated I’m not sure so that made us uncomfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room and bathroom spotless. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Venue as a whole very relaxing. One major problem for elderly visitors. The venue can only be reached via an undulating paved lane of well over half a mile inaccessible to motor traffic which turned out to be a real slog on foot dragging a heavy suitcase. Although the property in itself was very satisfactory we could never again face the access problems.

Great location & easy to find. No lift made hauling heavy luggage up a spiral staircase with an eight year old in tow, was very difficult. No real restaurant. Shower was push-button made temperature control difficult and drain was clogged with first shower. School trip allowed extremely liud children until past 11 even though quiet time was supposed to be 10 pm

Excellent location for shops, transport and the park for a walk. The staff I met were very nice and helpful. The social area was great with lots of room etc. and the facilities in/for the dorms were good. I wish there were notices (on the walls or on the paperwork), however, asking people to be considerate of others. Playing games on telephones/eating noisily are no fun for others at well past midnight when you're trying to sleep. It's bad enough with snorers!

PHOTO ID REQUIRED - not stated until arrival. This is a hostel and we were required to provide photo ID (passport/driving license) on arrival which were NOT stated in any hotels.com literature provided. Usually in the UK you are never required to carry these documents but luckily we had passport photocopies available on email on our phones. Staff were fine, location was great, room was noisy as underneath a multi-occupancy hostel room with people arriving and clomping about until all-hours.
