+ 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 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.

+ 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.

+ 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
