BUG review
This hostel consists of a large main building and several smaller ones. The main building has a huge modern fully-equipped kitchen, two lounges with internet access and immaculately clean dorms with wooden bunks and calming colours. The other smaller building has a cosy lounge and a smaller but more colourful kitchen and nice bathrooms. There are log fires and under-floor heating as well as electric blankets throughout. They also offer self-contained cottages, which are adorable and well maintained. This is an excellent hostel with friendly staff.
About BUG's hostel reviews

We show up unannounced at hostels to write honest and unbiased hostel reviews. Many of BUG's reviews now feature videos and photo slideshows. BUG never receives payment for listing any establishment and BUG's researchers never accept free accommodation in exchange for favourable reviews.

We stayed in one of the houses up the hill. It was really nice; basically a 3-bedroomed house with lovely kitchen/communal area and a lovely cosy open fire for those cold evenings. Plenty of books and games and nice garden to chill in. Very friendly proprietors.
