Solo holiday

Amazing views. Place a bit tired but clean and comfortable. Room was hot. Food smelt good. Never been to a YHA before, so wasn't sure how it all worked and there wasn't much information. Being a bit of an introvert I perhaps missed out on some of the experience.

Good value - but remember it's not a hotel

Glorious location, both for views and as starting point for walks (and drives). The village is easily walkable, but more of a struggle back up the hill! Self-catering kitchen is small.

Great location

It was fine. Very little contact with staff, as I was visiting friends in the area, but check in was friendly. The only downside was that other guests were incredibly inconsiderate during the night - lots of door-banging etc. The view from my bedroom was amazing!
