Absolutely perfect stay. Clean, comfortable and well-equipped room (no 15) with a massive bed and a generous and comforting duvet. Excellent refreshment facilities offered by the Terrace Bar, from a Cream Tea to a full dinner. Generous breakfast with plenty of gluten free and lactose free choices.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
