“Brilliant - good base for walks along north coast of pembs”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Very nice hostel with some unique rooms (I stayed in an art deco type room)

Feels like an "old school" hostel (As in lots of board games and books to entertain, no large TV, etc.) but with all the modern facilities you need - good kitchen.

Could have done with some better kitchen knives, that is my one and only criticism

“Idyllic study retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

I was looking for a secluded place beside the sea to write for a week - and found it! The hosts were super accommodating, and I found myself in a cosy warm room with a beautiful window view, with cliff top runs and spectacular cycles for my daily breaks. The whole place is clean, well cared for and delightfully quirky. I'll definitely be back for the same again...

“What an amazing find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

We had an amazing stay from start to finish. The hostel is really well maintained and decorated to a high standard. The kitchen/lounge/communal area is comfortable and inviting. Our accommodation exceeded my expectations - amazing value! The room was cosy, a good size and really nicely decorated. The bed was super comfortable with a full memory foam mattress, needless to say we slept like a babies.

The village (Trefin) is quiet with good links and adds to feeling like you're really getting away from it all. The costal path is literally 5 minutes from the door of the hostel where you can walk for miles and miles with breathtaking views. A great cycle route runs just past the hostel.

The breakfasts were great and really set you up for a day of exploring. After reading other people note/review how tasty the porridge is, we were not disappointed – it was delicious!

We would not hesitate to recommend the old school hostel and we hope to return again. Thank you Sue and Chris

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

A well planned and managed hostel. Friendly hosts and guests. We had a private room for two for L32 per night. There is a large, fully equipped kitchen for self catering. Nice sitting area with interesting library. Common room with TV. Breakfast and box lunch are available. Short walk to coastal trail with dramatic scenery.

Room Tip: Reserve early for best selection.
