Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The accommodation was fantastic, big, comfortable, great location and stocked with everything you need. We loved the view of the sheep on the mount and listening to the waves crash on the beach. Well done on fabulous accommodation. The communal areas were lacking but the apartment wasn't. The balcony is wonderful, even in cold weather as you have a real feeling of spaciousness. FYI, you get cheaper rates at the hot pools by staying at Oceanside Belle 😊

    Great location and so handy having free safe parking. Swimming pool and spa's great for the end of the day. The balcony was nice to view sunset from whilst having a drink. Kitchen really well equipped, as was the apartment in general.
