It’s a decent hostel but not anything special. The dorm room was very overpriced for how limited your space is and I was expecting something spectacular because of the high price but it was far from that.

Great place, with amazing staff. Good, quiet location. Easy to walk to town or to the sea (during the day). It’s not a hostel as you have your own room, but shared kitchen/dining area. Would come again

First of all the staff are lovely, the welcome I received and the check ins each day to ask what I had planned were much appreciated. The room was perfect for what I needed, might have been a bit tight for two with luggage. The parking is good, I didn’t struggle to get a space either in the courtyard or on the driveway at the front even returning late at night. Breakfast was good with plenty of fresh fruit.
