A clean, new, single level building with plenty of parking and good facilities. The hostel is open all day to those who already have their key and from 3pm for those checking in. It is situated a five minute walk from the town, beach, and coastal path. It is clearly signposted by both road and coastal path.
Many rooms are ensuite and are a good size. There is a communal kitchen which is small but adequately equipped. The dining area offers fine views of the sea, as does the reading room and TV room. The hostel does do food and for £5-10 you can have a three-course meal. We had soup, chicken, jacket potato, peas, salad, bread, ice cream, and coffee, though there is a wide choice each evening. You can also purchase wine and beer at reasonable prices or bring your own. I'd recommend eating at the hostel as the only pub in town gets very busy unless you go early, though it too has great food.
The staff are very helpful and even double as staff at the pub! A great hostel for families, walkers, or passing tourists.
