United Kingdom“Amazing hostel in a great location, loved the vibe. Kitchen area like a professional set up with more than everything you need. Staff and manager very helpful and friendly. Super clean and modern”- Tom United Kingdom“In 15 years of backpacking this is one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. A great rest day on the South West Coast Path and one of only a few value for money hostels - if only there were more like this in Bude etc.”
