    Nice hostel, had it all for myself which was a bit eerie but no surprise that time of the year. Bedrooms were okay, bit squeeky but else. Community room was nice and spacious, very big kitchen. The location is also nice, a lovely village with all...

    The hostel is in the village and you have easy access to walks in the forest as well as to restaurants and a local supermarket/post office. The kitchen in the hostel is huge and very clean. You can easily make your own meals if you wish.

    Lovely hostel with secure parking and charging for our e-bikes. Good that the heating was on as we had wet gear that we needed dried. A comfortable clean hostel.
