Jane

Nice place, but far too noisy.

Convenient location (with a car), ample parking, good facilities, and despite reviews saying the beds were hard, I found them comfortable. But there was one big drawback. The place is so noisy. You can hear every sound in the adjacent room (including the sink plumbing which was unhelpfully plumbed on the party wall so sounded like a torrent every time the tap was turned on). Every time someone walked down the hall, it was thud thud thud - I dread to think what it sounded like below. Then all the doors bang. I was awoken at least a dozen times over night when people got up to go to the loo, and once the child next door awoke at 6:30 am, further sleep was impossible. So if you value a good night's sleep and can't sleep through constant loud noises, better to look elsewhere, unless you are prepared to wear earplugs - my second night was ok. It wasn't that anyone was behaving badly but simply that the standard of the conversion construction is poor and should be upgraded to give the guests a reasonable night sleep. It's affordable, but at a cost. Personally I'd prefer to pay more and make sure I get a good night's sleep.

Quite and out of the way

Set in the countryside it has adequate facilities and is kept in reasonably good order. Nearest town is a short drive away. Definitely need your own transport to get there though.

Excellent value for money

Very neat and tidy place to stay. The room was small although comfortable. the bunk beds were comfortable too. Great being able to have heating whenever you liked just by turning on the radiator. The shared showers were excellent always clean and hot too. I would definitely recommend this place. I stayed in a private room so not sure what the shared rooms are like. Only bad thing is no mobile phone reception and the walls are very thin so if there is a screaming baby or wild children there is no escaping that.
