It was a very friendly stay. Welcoming staff.

Lack of staff or staff management as there was a large dofe group in and this was not managed well which meant others were waiting for food or drinks and it could have been managed better

"Magical and cozy! My boys didn't want to leave :-)"

9.0

The landpods were super cozy and we loved the little "den" underneath for the boys to play. The beds were sooooo comfy!

Lights didnt work - but the YHA staff were excellent and gave us logs to compensate!

Just the location.

One shared toilet, bed too small, feels claustrophobic,
