Hotels. Com gave false information
Hotels.com showed a DOUBLE EN SUITE room here. There is NO such room. We were allocated a 6 bed dorm room for our exclusive use butNO en-suite. This was totally unsuitable for our needs. The YHA were as helpful as possible but we had to leave after first night

Site exceptionnel. Atmosphère familiale.
La plage n'est pas loin. On peut partir de l'auberge pour faire des randonnées incroyables sur le "coast path", constamment au bord de la mer sur les falaises. Très bonne cuisine pour se faire à manger.
