    The location was beautiful but difficult to fully appreciate with the drizzly weather - not your fault! The hostel was perfectly clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The choice and facilities for indoor or outdoor eating was great.

    A good place to stay if you're traveling by car. An ordinary hostel type accommodation. Very clean. I liked the organization of the kitchen: every room has it's own shelf in the fridge/freezer and cupboard.
