BUG review
Almond House is a small and well maintained hostel. Dorm rooms are spacious with large wooden bunks and single beds made up with duvets. The kitchen is small but very clean, and there is also a small TV lounge with books and new couches. The bathrooms are new and nicely decorated. It features a peaceful garden area with a barbecue and a large and inviting swimming pool. It has a quiet atmosphere and it is family-run and friendly. It’s a few minutes’ walk from town and just across from an organic market.

Quiet location, but an easy walk to the town centre. Very recently renovated. Clean. Lovely garden for eating. Kitchen a bit small for sharing.
