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.
