    Room was extremely noisy, you could hear people talking and walking upstairs, and they weren’t being loud. The glass door tothe bedroom offered zero noise proofing from the neighbouring guest entering and leaving or switching the light in and off. Van parked right outside the window of my room and was left running at 7am, which didn’t help either, but that’s not the hostels fault. I just felt the price was steep for what was offered.

    Location was perfect, staff very helpful with check in, places to eat and places to go for a drink.

    Tiny room so bit expensive I had seen the foto with 2 beds and thought that I booked that . But I booked a “double” room . Not very comfortable for 2 elderly ladies having to go peepee a few times at night.

    Beautiful, comfortable, friendly; It surpassed everyone of my expectations. The location is in the center of a quiet mid sized town that has plenty of things to see, the peninsula is breathtaking and the staff and locals were very friendly and eager to share their tips and tricks. The B&B itself had very comfortable private rooms and provided a hearty breakfast and pleasant conversation.

    Not quite as good value as other accommodation on my trip, but Mike had Ukrainians staying who’d had to leave their home - so I was happy that whatever I paid might have gone towards their stay.

    Mike was very helpful, suggesting places to eat and making me a packed lunch instead of breakfast. 5 minute walk to pubs/bar. Comfortable room, good shower, somewhere to sit outside.

    This is a budget hostel, not a hotel. We knew that in advance. We are well used to simple accommodation. However, the room was very small. Only one hook to hang anything. It doesn't cost much to put 4 or 5 more hooks up on the wall. There is no space to leave an open suitcase. We had to keep everything in the suitcases and leave them standing up, so we could walk around the bed to the shower-room. That room also had only one solitary hook. The shower head holder was broken - I'm not sure why we were given that room. Next door had a fully working shower head holder. That room was empty the first night of our stay. Why not give us that room? There was a locked 'front door' in our room, opening out onto the back street. While there was an old key in the lock we didn't try it. But we did bring our valuables with us to lock in the car rather than leave them in the room during the day. Although the area is very quiet, that door was a bit disconcerting. Also we were in a room at the end of the yard at the back of the building, a few metres from the backdoor of the hostel itself. But we were not given a key for the front door into the tiny hallway between our room and the room next door (the one with the working shower holder), so basically, our room was locked with what would be considered an indoor door key. Anybody could come in the back gate (large enough for a car to come in) to break in. All guests should be given a key to that external door to the two rooms at the end of the yard, and the door to the back street should be completely boarded over and sealed permanently. A window could be installed. Also paying in cash was not obvious to us. We had to go to an ATM to ensure we had cash. We got a neat handwritten receipt; but they should really also accept credit cards! The cash-only is not written on the booking I printed out to bring with me, at all. It may be elsewhere online but it should appear on the booking I printed out.

    Very friendly helpful staff. Neither of them owns the place; both were very helpful and friendly. Great location - on the main street, with free parking directly outside the door. Very comfortable bed in a comfortable warm room. Breakfast was lovely: strong fresh coffee; orange juice; porridge; and a small cooked breakfast of a fried egg, three sausages and two rashers (bacon), and some toast. A lovely comfortable couch in the breakfast room to relax for a while just after breakfast, looking out on the main street. Great for two nights to attend a festival in the area over the weekend. We were out all day both days.
