The host/hostess extremely friendly. The evening meals superb and took extra note of my diet requirements. My room was fine but no chair or place to hang damp towel to dry out. The room was in an annexe and I had to go outside to access all amenities - lounge, dining room, guests’ kitchen. No kettle in the room so this kitchen was essential for out of hours cuppa. Very minor complaints all forgiven due to service and meals.

Nice proprietors, so-so accommodations
Probably other rooms that this YOUTH HOSTEL (not hotel, not lodge) offers were better than ours. We definitely did not overpay, and got what we paid for. Very nice proprietors as I mentioned and great location, but keep in mind that even some box wine has a really nice label.

Rebecca and Andy were very friendly and accommodating. I was able to get a good early breakfast before leaving for work. The room was clean and had plenty of cupboard space. With the weather being so good, there was no need to use the drying room. The area was a great place to go for an evening walk, with the Boat Inn offering good food.

Nice friendly place
The host was very accommodating and friendly. We got a room on the upper floor. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable but the room was cold, the heater doesn't warm up the room that well and the shower area was really small. The dining area was warm and cozy with a good nice view of the outside especially when it snowed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Very nice accommodation with opportunity to be self catering as well, with shared kitchen. Very close to all the walking we wanted to do, with a nice wee basic local shop as well, very close by. Would love to stay during the Winter months and experience the lovely stove burning away in the living/dining area. The only thing I was disappointed about was the unavailability of a cooked breakfast.
