"Checked in but didn’t stay"

3.0

Nothing .

No parking on site . Difficult to find Very rickety stairs up three flights to top floor Small shared shower room Being given rules on white board on arrival Room smaller than expected , over marketed on Booking.com Appears as a Hostel for all ages online , obviously for students and not a couple walking SWCFootpath . Please don’t fall into trap of thinking this will be ok for one night .

"A great overnight stay whilst on the coastal path"

6.0

Location is excellent. Facilities good for a backpacker hostel. Staff friendly.

Couldn’t find the kitchen light switch for early breakfast! Needs a sign. Remember your earplugs for the pesky seagulls and hourly church bells.

Great location close to the harbour. Super friendly and helpful owner. Nice lounge area, good sized kitchen and clean facilities. Everything that you'd expect from a really good backpackers and good value for money.

Slightly firmer bed would have been good - it was a bit soft and springy.
