    No fuss but all the things you’d want. Huge secure storage for bikes as well. Good facilities if you have the urge to cook.

    Massive room to myself, wish I'd known this was not a 'normal' youth hostel before, but it worked out for me. Very central and easy acess, excellent shower and bed(s).

    Comfort:- The walls seem hollow & you can hear guests in next room & bathroom. Doors in property also slam, maybe could do with a softener/silencer? Blind nearly blacks out the light from the window but light shines through the sides, if you're easily woken by light/sound I'd suggest taking ear plugs & a sleep mask.

    Staff:- Plenty of information in rooms as what to do/who to contact if needing anything. Nice corresponding email a week before arriving. No staff seen during stay but the idea of the bunkhouse is more like a hostel rather than a B&B where you just help yourself. Facilities:- Shower pressure & heat was lovely. Towels, bedding & toilet roll all provided. Nice communal kitchen with all the commodities needed & spacious bedroom for the family. Wife said a kettle in bedroom would be nice but kitchen is literally next door. Not much room for sharing in kitchen fridge but 2nd fridge/freezer located downstairs near entrance. Bike storage is excellent, located on site in lock ups that easily hold 4 or more bikes at no extra cost. Comfort:- The mattresses aren't premier inn but I can't say I had a bad night's sleep. The communal kitchen can get a tad overcrowded if everyone's using it at the same time but I did find it useful when it was raining so we could wait till it passed & in the meantime have a spot of lunch/cuppa whilst watching TV. Value:- Great value for a family of 4 & compared to other hotels in the area. I've tried nearly everywere Newcastleton has to offer over the years & I'd say this is good if you're looking to use it just a go between i.e. sleeping/washing & nothing else. Location:- More or less situated bang in the middle of the village with all your local commodities like shops, pubs, bus stop, petrol station & walks/bike trails all within walking distance.

    Nice and clean place to stay. The bike sheds were huge, easily accessible, nice and clean to securely store the bikes away. The host was very understanding and accomodating with our circumstances. Really appreciate that.

    Tin opener that works!! More kitchen knives, only one made cooking a meal for 6 a logistics issue. Too many written instructions provided beforehand when most of them were in writing in the building. A panscrub and some washing up liquid would be useful to shift the stuff the dishwasher doesn't.

    Location and facilities superb. Overall a fantastic experience. Bike storage pods very helpful and secure.

    It was a Sunday night with no availability to buy food. We were on bicycles. Great cafe across the road though for breakfast and a sandwich to take for lunch

    The security of the building. Added bonus of having our own bicycle locker. Key safe to enter the property

    Directions were given clearly prior to arrival. On arrival the key box was easy to find and worked with the code straight away. The accommodation was warm and bright and well furnished. The kitchen facilities were immaculate and with instructions for the apparatus to clarify how to use.
