It was the last week of the season when we stayed. There were some problems with the shower we used and its drainage, which we're confident will be fixed during the close season maintenance program. There was no kind of soap: we suggest consideration be given to the provision of at least shower gel, and perhaps bathmats (disposable paper ones can be bought for less than 12p each).

Brillant stay in this hostel. Well done to the staff who are so welcoming and kind. The cleanliness of the hostel was outstanding. A pleasure to stay there. My only minor quibble was with the dinner provided- it wasn't very exciting to be honest and probably use the impressive kitchen to cook for myself the next time I come
