I loved how relaxing and peaceful the hostel is. Fabulous views and scenery and lots of birds. The sound of the river and non-existent light polution made for a perfect getaway. Friendly staff and a bargain meal & dessert.

Location was amazing. Rushing water right at the front door. Could sit and watch it all day. Lots of nice places to sit watching the water rush past while you enjoyed a coffee or wine. Rooms comfortable and shared bathrooms were new, close by and kept very clean. Kitchen was large and easy to navigate with other people staying there.

    Great location, friendly staff, nice and warm during a very cold spell. Lovely bar/cafe. It's a youth hostel, so hardly luxurious accommodation, but it was clean and comfortable and exceeded my expectations. I loved the sound of the river flowing by.
