Great facilities and grounds. Well organised. Good location. Friendly staff and guests. Great way to meet other travelers. Loved the pool table in the evenings.

Some people were not so good at cleaning up after themselves when most others did.

nice facilities, big kitchen and outdoor space

refrigerators were full. not sure if all the food belonged to people currently staying in the hotel or just left overs from people who already left the place. some noise came from next door business .

Lovely stay, great atmosphere and the kindest people running this place! We forgot a pair of hiking shoes in our room and Happy Apple helped us shipping a parcel to our next stay! Golden Star in customer service!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a clean and tidy place. The facilities and staff were great! My family and I wished we had been able to stay at least another night.

If there were fans in the rooms that might have made our stay more comfortable as it was a very humid evening.

Kelly the manageress was gorgeous & very helpful supplying us herbs & vegetables & fruit from her garden. I wish there were two of her !!!

It was perfect. Will stay again if back in that neck of the woods.

Good facilities in the kitchen and the lounge had a pool table and tv. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Kitchen fridges need to be cleaned more regularly and the freezer must be defrosted.

the backpackers was family friendly with a child’s playground, trampoline, pool table and many board games. Well equipped kitchen, BBQ area and beds are comfy. Bathrooms are new and clean. A quirky stay in a prime location. The receptionist was taking care of the property while her daughter was away and made sure we felt comfortable and safe and even offered us an extra bike lock while we were staying.

nothing- got so much more than what we paid for.

Good Prices for the service, clean and excellent wifi.

Problem with the room because another people told us that they have booked. Staff did not answer the phone after 7 p.m. (It was in New Year Eve).

Location was the prime reason for staying. Cost was good 👍 On-site parking A fairly laid back place. Clean and tidy

Showing my age here, but if you have people who want to talk alit and late into the night, could they please do it up in the kitchen lounge area, as I do value my rest Bed was a raid on the uncomfortable side (could just be my age)
