Lovely staff. Had single room which was comfortable and warm. However the smell of weed from guests who appeared to be long-term Sawyers was a put off. Seems like the hostel is like a emergency accommodation place . The hostel policy is no drugs so these guests and the area they smoke in near carpark in a shed area needs sorting. Not acceptable at all.

Facilities were very clean and comfortable. Stay spoilt only by small group of people talking loudly in communal outside area until around 1am one night.

Room was clean. Staff were very helpful. Struggled a bit with the shared kitchen and other guests not cleaning up after themselves as well as they should.

Stayed 1 night

definitely more than adequate! Simple and "rustic" in many regards, but really well thought-out provision of all the things you might need. Our individual room even had a refrigerator, in addition to the large freezers and refrigerators provided for all in a well stocked kitchen. Games provided. Lots of space. Parking is well organized. Definitely would return.
