    Very cosy and comfortable room with a stunning view. Plenty of room in kitchen to keep your things and free tea and coffee. Quite close to places to eat, though it's uphill on the way back.

    Snug room where we watched a bit of television needs decent seating. We’re close to 70 and bean bag chairs well not a good fit for us.

    Great location! Great staff! Great kitchen facilities! Very clean and beds comfy!

    Sam was a great host. He was there anytime, he received us at about 9 pm as we were late. Also even after 11 pm he woke up to give us help for a petty thing in the bathroom. Very friendly and helpful. The kitchen was nice and it was very thoughtful of him to keep fresh milk in the fridge for tea and coffee. Nice clean room and the view was awesome - we could see the lake from the window though it was cloudy, we enjoyed it.

    No breakfast, However you have a kitchen with Milk, Bread , tea ,coffee , young man who look after the property is lovable personality. If you need any help , he is there.

    Nice property, with parking . Very near to the town centre. Near by Spar and other stores. When you walk , little up and down. If you like walking you will enjoy

    Only issue was the shower was electric and I couldn't for the life of me get the heat correct, it was either too cold or too hot. That could just be me however.

    Excellent value for money and really beautiful location. Room was spacious, comfy and clean. Sam was friendly and accommodating.

    Not being able to criticise

    Excellent drying room, comfortable beds, fantastic kitchen facilities, clean, great shower. After finishing a long distance walk this was ideal. I'm usually somewhat critical but here I have met my match. One of the best bunkhouses I've stayed in...and there's been a lot

    Cheap hostel prices but lovely private rooms with a max of 6 people in the hostel at one time! The facilities are great, nice and warm, the kitchen was spotless, and the "snug" was great for a movie in the evening.

    Great that it’s so close to the high street, only downside is it’s at the top of a pretty big steep hill (if you’re trying to drag a suitcase up it) and taxis are scarce, so be prepared for that. Obviously that’s not the fault of the accommodation! It’s just the only thing we wish had been different and would be useful for other people to know.

    The person who greeted us was very welcoming. The rooms were absolutely spotless and felt so clean. We shared a twin room and the single beds had very comfortable mattresses. The bathroom had a great shower, and again, the bathroom was really clean. The place was peaceful and quiet so a good night’s sleep. Great views.
