  Excellent friendly bunkhouse

  Liked: Location, facilities and friendliness of staff.

  Disliked: One toilet roll for 4 men for 2 nights in the en-suite and to find out while sitting on the pan was not good. Other than that no problem.

  Near to castle and pretty town

  Liked: Great location friendly staff. Great common room and kitchen facilities.

  Disliked: It was a back packer hostel so expect shared facilities, but this was not a problem for us as we are used to camping. May not suit everyone but we were fine and cosy for one night.
