Lonely Planet says:
"In a rambling 1770s Georgian townhouse, this wonderful independent hostel has a charming, cozy sitting room warmed by a glowing open fireplace, and a timber- and leadlight-paneled dining room. There's a decent self-catering kitchen (though no breakfast), and staff are ace."
We say:
Hope to see you here soon.
