We were very impressed by this accommodation and felt the term ‘bunkhouse’ undervalues it. The caretaker was very welcoming, shops nearby make self catering easy. Comfortable bed, and nice clean bathroom. Anyone reading this can be assured that a reservation here will not disappoint.

We needed some reasonably priced accommodation that could also take our dog. The Bunkhouse was a great option. Great to have a private room and bathroom. Only three rooms in total meant it was pretty quiet (although the internal doors do bang quite loudly). The kitchen was fine, with a microwave for heating up food and plenty of crockery and utensils. We had great communication from the manager in advance of our stay.

As we were leaving for the ferry, I felt rather guilty that the squeaky door hinges must have disturbed our fellow guests as we departed. A drop of oil would work wonders! A brilliant value place to stay

We needed to stop over before catching the ferry, and this was an ideal stop. Very clean and adequate . Chip shop just a few shops away and a welcoming pub across the road, made it easy for us to deal with our onward journey.

Very good value

Obviously recently refurbished. It was fresh, clean and very well located. A minor consideration was the bathroom was next door to the double room and the bedroom was on a key pad, it made me a bit anxious of getting locked out when going to the toilet in the night.
