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.

    The staff were amazing, so kind and thoughtful. If you are on a budget but want the vip location this is your place. You can make your own breakfast or get the full English, delicious. The bed is plastic thin mattress, and you can hear a lot of noise. But… you wake up on the beach with a lovely coffee

    We loved our stay. The location is perfect and nature here is stunning. Best youth hostel we’ve ever stayed at. Food was delicious, they had a live band there as well and picnic tables and an oven in our tent. It was a perfect weekend for us.

    Spotlessly clean in a great location just around the corner from the harbour. Staff were helpful. We had the family room which had a double bed in one room n bunk beds just around the corner. Really lovely room with thick curtains to block out the light. Beautiful old pub with great atmosphere . We only stayed one night.

    The property was extremely spacious for my 1 year old to run about in. It had a private drive right next to the property to leave our car safely overnight. The kitchen and bathrooms were finished to a lovely modern, high standard. It was in a great location, not far for a supermarket and of course near each of the 7 bays.

    Great location, huge enclosed garden perfect for the kids to run around safely. Cottage was very clean on arrival, and the scones with jam and clotted cream were a lovely touch. We found that everything we needed was a short drive away, and the owner of the cottages was lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again, thank you!

    Great youth hostel in excellent location. Very friendly staff, very clean, modern rooms. This hostel beats most of the more expensive hotels we staid at during our hike of the South West Trail. Highly recommended!

    It was a perfect place to stay,so near to the beach. The view was amazing. It is directly on the coastal path. Prime location. As a family we all enjoyed it so much. A spot we could never afford to stay if it was not for the Youth Hostel Association. The staff were so friendly and helpful and we can’t wait to go back.
