We stayed here with a group friends. Located in the heart of a lovely village. Clean, tidy, functional rooms. Spacious kitchen and lounge area, though the ovens in kitchen could do with replacing. Very relaxed atmosphere here. Be prepared for the discoloured water from the taps(due to the clay or stone in the area apparently). Would recommend this hostel. It... More

I turned up here on a recent Sunday evening after making a booking the day before, I rang ahead at 5 to ensure that 'Mike' would be there at 8 when I arrived. When I did arrive at 8.00 I rang the owner/manager only for him to tell me that he was drinking (drunk?) in the pub100 yards away, and... More

Not really luxury accommodation. Just a Youth Hostel with private rooms. Nicely placed but not with the breath taking views you might expect from the web site. For us a disappointment - didn't see Mike!! Other staff not very friendly or attentive. Very difficult to get prompt email responses to enquiries.
