BUG Review
This rather basic building is in a remote area of scattered cottages with lots of walks and views nearby. A former village school with simple decor, it is clean and well maintained by the friendly owners with a kitchen, a good common room (smoking allowed) with TV area, and cheap Internet. It has large grounds that feature an outdoor chess set. The bathrooms feel primitive but have large showers. There’s a cafe and shop next door. It’s in a very peaceful spot, and it makes a good base for walks on hills and coasts.

It was quite a basic hostel but not lacking anything at all. The mattresses are very confortable. The place was clean and tidy and it was also cheap. £8 per night.

The staff is very friendly too.
