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.

    Great location, quiet, but so close to everything too. Sea views the moment you stepped out of the door. The area felt very safe for a lone traveller. The hosts were so lovely, very friendly but not intrusive, the room is yours from the moment you check in. Great breakfast and plenty of tea/coffee in your room and for restock. Parking wasn't a problem with the permit, although it may be in high season. Very comfy bed, slept really well after all the exploring!

    A beautiful and clean house in a really great location. Everything we needed was there for us including tea and coffee and a small bottle of milk. The communication with the owner was great from the moment I made the booking to the day we left. We will definitely recommend this property to others. Great for families as it has 2 rooms with double beds and another room with a bunk bed for the kids which they loved x

    Great location and house, second to none but.... be aware that the booking company "host and stay" would not give us access to the keys until I paid 25 quid for an insurance policy I did not need. Verges on a scam so read the small print. House also had cheap and broken chairs just left in the divining room and a broken oven door that was not fixed, despite the fact the company told us not to use it; great for self catering. Great house, shocking management

    Great Location!! Clean and room was lovely and bright! Warm and comfy room as well. I stayed with my little boy too he loved it just as much. Only thing as this is personal preference the pillows were a little hard for me but that’s just personal preference. Brreakfast wad lovely and the tea and coffee/biscuit selection was nice. I loved the fresh water and also the option for fresh milk was a lovely touch! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for making my little boy and me feel safe and welcome. 😊

    Great location, spacious for a family of four and it was warm and clean. Kitchen had everything you needed and a good sized fridge freezer. Kids really enjoyed the bunk beds.

    Great location, so near the beach and not far from the town centre! Loved the room - it was like a bedsit, self-contained, very secure. I felt safe - a big plus as travelling solo and the bed was so comfortable! Kerry and Jason make you feel so welcome and they cannot do enough for you. Best full English that I have ever had - not swimming in grease, which I loved. Please visit this outstanding establishment, you won't be disappointed! P.S Thank you both, I will be back!

    The place was so grotty we didn’t want to risk breakfast - the room had dirty finger marks over the walls and the bathroom tiles were dirty the whole floor was tired and like a poorly kept youth hostel rather than a £170 a night hotel - I come from a hotel background and it was the worst Value for money hotel I had ever stayed in . The bedroom furniture was old and cheap looking. The water was warm but not hot. Thank god for the sea and sands to escape out of the grim place to.
