A fantastic hostel for the budget-conscious.
Alex at reception was super friendly and helpful. Any small problems were dealt with immediately and with great good humour. Check-in arrangements out of hours were excellent. Some rooms have en-suite but most do not - this is as expected in a hostel. Cleanliness was outstanding. Common areas included a lovely lounge and well-equipped kitchen with a great system for re-using left-overs from other guests and regular clear-out of the fridge. The location is superb - right near the Quay if you are arriving/leaving on the Lundy ferry. Towel hire available for £2 each, which was very welcome for those of us travelling light. No problem leaving bags for storage if necessary during the day of departure. The owners have recently invested in upgrading the hostel and it really shows.
Location can be noisy in the late evening due to nearby pubs and in the morning due to seagulls!

Probably the most friendly hostel I've been to!
You're smack bang in the middle of town so location for price was amazing. A bus stop is less than a minute walk away which was super helpful for me as I was doing a lot of bus catching and meandering in the area. Hostel has a lovely wee communal living room and kitchen (fully stocked with amenities to use for cooking) that feels so homey. Bathroom facilities are clean and well maintained. Plenty of space for bags in dorm rooms with the option of a locker. Jimmy, the manager, was so friendly and welcoming and really set the tone for the hostel's atmosphere.This made the stay so much better as a solo female traveller- probably one of the most friendly hostels I've ever stayed at.
I've slept in comfier beds, otherwise nothing!

Great for a C2C stay
Fab location and facilities. Jimmy went out of his way to help. The secure bike storage was a massive bonus too! This made a great stopping point for our C2C trip.
