BUG review
This hostel is in a charmingly restored old house. Dorms are spacious with high ceilings and wooden bunks. Doubles are gorgeously appointed, some with log fires and others in new separate cabins. The kitchen is very clean and there is a tiny TV room with books and comfy couches. There is an outdoor common area with fruit trees and a barbecue. They offer laundry facilities, internet access and free pickup.
About BUG's hostel reviews
This hostel was visited by one of BUG's team of hostel inspectors who write independent reviews and assess a star rating based on an objective assessment criteria.
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.

This was a rare find on my travels. A hostel which is clean and good value for money. I stayed in a double room with ensuite and it was one of the best nights sleep I had on my travels. The hostel offers a range of accommodation and although it was full when I was there it still felt spacious. The hostel is very chilled out and relaxed as are the owners.

Lovely old house on large piece of land. Off-street parking and spacious comfy rooms. Not the best kitchen facilities
