United Kingdom“The location was exceptional. It was an amazing opportunity to stay at a lighthouse . I was a bit worried due to the communal nature of the hostel but it was fine and mostly felt quite private. Very clean and well stocked.”
Espen
Norway“Amazing location, with a spectacular view from the room. Fall a sleep to the sound of waves breaking on the beach. Perfect spot to watch the sun set and enjoy your morning coffee. Very comfortable beds.”- Ramon
Netherlands“Een van de mooiste uitzichten die we gezien hebben vanuit het slaapkamerraam. Wat een prachtige locatie. Alles tot je beschikking. Een gezellige woonkamer en compleet ingerichte keuken. Slaapkamer is klein maar voor de rest prima verblijf hier gehad.”
