A large number of a 20 strong motorbike group stayed here overnight. The receptionist was top-notch and booked us in methodically without a fuss. The whole place is clean, modern and well decorated. A lovely conversion of an old train station annexe building. The room was a decent size with two pairs of bunks, a private bathroom including shower with plenty of hot water and pressure,just what you need after a sweaty day in the saddle. The onsite cafe did lovely coffees because the reception machine needed to be cleaned and serviced. They were trying out the idea of cooking pizzas in the evening The lady in the cafe kindly made me and my friends coffees in the morning despite not actually being open. Apparently, the pizza idea wasn't a great success. Maybe some promotion might help? There is a large car park which, although not secure, is far enough from prying eyes due to the hostel's location that we didn't have any concerns re the security of our motorbikes. It's quiet at night and the trains don't run too late. The whole place makes you feel you're in the countryside which is nice.

Non operational coffee machine I'm reception when I was gagging for a coffee, but the gent in the cafe saved the day. The laminate floor in our bedroom ( last on the right before the lounge upstairs) had gaps between the planks and the edges were starting to fur, not ideal when bare footed. The bathroom extractor fan ran for a long time after turning off the bathroom light. Noticeable in such a quiet location £79 for the room is still the best part of £20 per person if fully occupied. It gets expensive as room only when below capacity. That said we had the trifecta of being there on the Saturday night of a bank holiday weekend at the start of half term, so no doubt the price reflects that

It was really close to the hiking paths i wanted to take. Also buses stop next to the station. Nice and quiet. The breakfast was also really good. Duvet was nice and warm enough. The bathroom was really good.

When I entered the room. The floor did not seem to be clean, and the bins inside were not emptied. The duvet was nice and warm, but there was no heating in the room at all. It was a bit cold.

Easy access, good parking, friendly staff, cafe on site plus breakfast is available in the main dining area if you want to buy. Ideal for a family group. Rooms have beds only, but very comfortable and with pillow and duvet. Plenty to do in the area around and near enough to walk to shops, pubs and cafes if you want. Good value for money and everything you need in the self catering area with fridges and cooking gear.

Very minor but not sure how cooking works if large numbers want to do at the same time, but it's not really a big issue.

We loved it there! It exceeded our expectations. Very clean. Staff lovely. Surroundings amazing. Great price.

The only downer was trying to use the kitchen and the strong smell of excrement coming from the bin. We realised that there was a baby around and the parents were throwing the nappies in the kitchen bin. Please put up some signs to stop people from doing this!

Great location by the train station and start of the granite way. And great café options nearby.

Our August stay on the top floor was a bit hot for sleeping. Could have done with being able to open the window more.

The location for the start of walks and getting to the hostel via the train was perfect. Kitchen facilities were great.

The beds were the smallest beds I had ever been in! Seemed child-sized. The room was pretty compact too.

Easy to book, good value for money. Used as stop over for Cornish break. Friendly staff. Games room ideal for teenagers. Also lounge room to watch tv/rest. Enjoyed a game of Cluedo! Plenty of shower rooms. Breakfast was delicious with plenty to choose from. Would stay again.

Staff where super friendly, helpful & warm. A real community feel to the hostel which is perfect for us.

One improvement good be a small shelf for top bunks, that would be sooooooo helpful.

Great location, convenient check in, reasonable price.

No duvet covers, or pillow covers. Just plain. Also, the shower could have done with a soap dispenser.

Brilliant YHA 👏 perfect stopover for family completing coast to coast on bikes. Clean, great facilities and warm friendly staff . Definitely coming back . Thankyou
