We are open pretty much all year round, and welcome group bookings, or entire hostel bookings as well as individual travelers. Booking is highly recommended, especially during peak summer months and at weekends. Inside the hostel, guests have access to an impressive and comfortable lounge with fire,comfy chairs & piano (old and cranky - but in tune), a dining room with a fine molded ceiling. The well equipped kitchen for guest use provides hobs, microwave, oven, guest refrigerators and storage. We are constantly amazed at the meals that guests prepare for themselves and the way some groups dress up the dining room for their meals. A good dinner service of plates, bowls dishes etc. is available for guest use if you want to make a feature meal. NO STAG/ HEN or DRINKING PARTIES PLEASE!

Rooms Description

Sleeping accommodation is in single sex or mixed dormitories, all with wash basins. Dorm size are 2 to 14 beds so most parties can be accommodated in rooms to suit their numbers. You need to book the 2 bed dorm quite a way ahead! The first floor rooms have fine fell views. The second floor rooms have Velux type windows but are very popular with groups ( even better views, but you need to stand up for them!). There are separate male and female shower rooms also secure lockers at reception. Bed linen and duvets are provided and included in the rates, but please bring your own towels. We offer squeaky floors and prehistoric plumbing, windows that rattle in gales, steps and stairs everywhere, however most people love the charm of this quaint old building and many return time after time. We ask guests to be out of the hostel each day between 1030 and 1430 while we are cleaning (you are welcome to stay in the lounge if outside is unappealing for any [torrential downpour?] reason while we clean) and we like everyone to keep noise to a minimum after 2300 hrs- walk and play during the day - sleep at night please. Kitchen is locked at 2230 hrs until 0730hrs and closed again at 1000 - 1430 hrs for cleaning in the morning.

Specialities

The 66 bed hostel is great for group bookings and you can book the whole hostel for yourselves. Many athletic and outdoor activities clubs are now using the hostel as a weekend basecamp.

We are well known for the cleanliness of the place, a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and welcoming and helpful staff (unless you smoke where you should not, do not clear up after yourselves or make a noise late at night).
