BUG review
This hostel comprises several buildings behind the owners’ home. Dorms are clean and nicely furnished. The communal kitchen is well stocked, and the bathrooms are nice and clean. One of the buildings has a very cosy lounge with a log fire. There are not many facilities for backpackers, but they offer laundry facilities and free tea and coffee. There are nice gardens on the grounds with hammocks and a fire pit.
