+ It was quiet, with a pleasant garden.
- Room lacked many facilities, such as microwave. only one coffee sachet, no soap or shampoo, etc. no table & chairs. A long walk from car to unit, with luggage. Cost did not reflect value for money.
+ Buena ubicación, buena señal de wifi, dueña muy amable y con excelente atención. Tuvimos que cancelar una noche reservada por error y tuvo buena disposición al realizar el cambio.
- Propiedad antigua, areas comunes con poca o nada de calefacción, (aunque cada cama incluye un calefactor) baños sucios, no pude tomar ducha en mis 2 dias de estadia. Cocina y area de comedor poco limpios, basureros llenos. Falta de mantención en general a las instalaciones. Colchón demasiado delgado, podia sentir las tablas. Una lastima, por que nos habian recomendado mucho este hostel, quizás en verano tiene mayor atención por el personal.
+ Beautiful old house with lovely grounds and helpful staff but we were cold all the time
+ Bien ubicado, personal amigable
- Los baños y la cocina muy sucios, había olor desagradable todo el tiempo. El colchón era muy fino. El lugar era frío, aunque por suerte habían mantas eléctricas en las camas
- Empezando por los baños, estaban sucios, la gente que vive a largo plazo no es nada limpia, mean fuera y el baño siempre huele a pis. El agua de las duchas sale hirviendo o fría, no hay termino medio. Nos enteramos de que solamente va una persona a la semana a limpiar el lugar, ya puedes imaginarte como estaba de sucio... La cocina estaba igualmente sucia por la falta de limpieza, mucho desorden, la gente que vive ahí no cuida las cosas apropiadamente. Estuvimos en pleno invierno y la casa apenas tiene calefacción, tuvimos que ir con ropa de abrigo por toda la casa por la falta de esta. Hablamos con la dueña acerca de esto y nos comentó literalmente: "Es que si pongo más la calefacción, la factura de la luz subirá"... En fin, si tienes un sitio para hospedar gente y no puedes hacer que estén calientes, simplemente no tengas un hostal. Podría ser un lugar chulo para quedarse, sin embargo es un lugar con bastantes carencias y falta de atención. Más que una crítica, me gustaría que este comentario se tomase como inspiración para mejorar el lugar. Ahora mismo no recomendaría el lugar para quedarse.
+ Receptionist was welcoming
- Dirty bathroom and kitchen No hot shower not at all, the worst I have ever had Bed doesnt seems clean Long term people staying at the same room and leaving and coming in and out from a room from night shift or for morning shift. Smelly blanket Mess in lounge area
+ Friendly staff and very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely garden and seating areas and good parking.
- Just very tired inside and very dated. The electric jug doesn’t fill from the basin and no other sink so had to use a cup to manually fill it.
+ The staff was very nice. The property was calm and quiet.
- The facilities were quite run down an DD did not appear to be well cared for. There was rubbish strewn about the parking lot.
+ El personal fue amable
- Las camas eran muy incómodas. Los baños algo sucios
+ Proximity to our needs
- Bit expensive for what it was

+ Nice vibe
- Small sink.
+ The staff were absolutely lovely. Such nice people and welcoming people! Allowed us to use the facilities till noon (as long as we are out of the room by 10). The beds were comfortable and the kitchen reasonably equipped. For these prices it was a rare find. The property itseld has a groomed garden and a "little house on the prairie" look. Would recommend
- The kitchen is a bit dirty (a bit) with old sponges and some greasy surfaces. Showers have low pressure. A privacy curtain on the bed, some storage space and nets on the windows would go a long way.
Well… The dorm’s door is not closing. So anyone from the hostel can enter at anytime. Some bugs and flies in the kitchen and facilities really poor. Mixing backpackers and long term residents felt a bit awkward, not to be judging but people smelling and kinda weird. Won’t go back and wouldn’t recommend.

+ The gardens and the trees and the location. I found it very clean and my bed was comfortable
- It was crowded in the kitchen at times. I didn’t like the code on the door but there were always people up when I came back so no problems
+ The garden setting was beautiful. The unit was a good standard and the cooking facilities very good!

Heavenly!
The house itself is nice, but I didn’t like the cats inside (also in my bed and the dorms) and that all the doors are open all the time. I didn’t get a key for the room and there were no lockers in the room, so I left most of my stuff in the car. A lot of longterm stays that side-eye you when you dare to use the kitchen.
+ Une expérience intéressante dans cette communauté de gens sympathiques !
+ The garden was beautiful
- Everything was fabulous
+ Friendly staff and very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely garden and seating areas and good parking.
- Just very tired inside and very dated. The electric jug doesn’t fill from the basin and no other sink so had to use a cup to manually fill it.
+ La chambre dans un jardin très arborée Le frigidaire et la literie
- Manque de gel douche et shampooing
+ Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Majoituksen piha-alue on todella viihtyisä!

+ It’s a hostel in the main house with cabins in the grounds. Nice gardens & spacious. Our cabin had double & bunk bed, which was fine and meant we had more space. Small bathroom but perfectly fine for two people. Shared kitchen for washing up and laundry is a bonus. Nice to meet some young backpackers. Enjoyed our stay nice staff
- Nothing
