A lovely setting for a hostel.
The Danywenallt Hostel is in a lovely position. The route to the hostel is well signed making it easy to locate but the access road may cause some cars to "bottom out." The staff were friendly and very helpful.

Location excellent - staff rude.
Location excellent. Staff seemed rather rude. Facilities good. Unfortunately, no normal breakfast available currently and we weren't told before, so didn't bring sufficient provisions with us.

Where the YHA is is stunning. Right by the reservoir. A converted old barn. Views all around. I also loved the 2 people from reception. Both originally from South Africa ! Couldn't do enough for yea. Finally I would also recommend the YHA for Bird Watching. Some of the views from the dining room window were well worth seeing 😉👍
