Good basic accommodation
Basic rooms, clean bedding. Take a towel. Quite noisy Saturday night but Sunday was quieter. Breakfast is particularly good and a vegetarian option is also available. Pre-booking is necessary. Staff very helpful and friendly.
I was pleasantly surprised by the YHA. Sure, you don't get a kettle or a TV in your room - so it is a little Spartan but it was quiet, clean and had individual rooms available with a shower and toilet. The local area was quiet and picturesque. I would happily stay here again.
Good location for walking to local attractions. Friendly, helpful staff. Shane about the noisy families next door keeping me awake til two in the morning.
Nicely placed YHA on the edge of the National Forest so plenty of good walking and cycling around. Dinner and breakfast is available and is of a good standard.
