“ I am very curious about you,” remarked a caller recently,“3 different people have recommended you.” Nothing special only human” was the response, but you will find us heart centered and caring. The Hostel in fact is more like a very large family home with house guests.
On entering there is an immediate sense of intimacy and welcoming, the brightly coloured common room decked with paintings, flowers and crystals. Inviting sofas surround the log fire. Moon and crop-circle calendars add a touch of mystique.
For an ‘alternative’ holiday, to visit us and experience a true ‘Welsh Welcome’ in a caring, holistic atmosphere is what the place is all about - to chill out, reflect and find oneself. Insomniacs often find peaceful sleep and the place lends itself to creative inspiration. Library and mediation area are added features.Outside the landscape is truly stunning, while the gardens themselves offer various areas for tranquil thought, with a touch of Zen here and there. “Nothing special” but a visit may well be worth your while- even if it is just for a cup of tea.

Hostelz.com Guest Reviews
Poor and dirty I just came back from a stay there and the hostel couldn't fulfill its promises at all. The place was very dirty and not very well looked after. Especially the bedrooms and the mattresses look as if they hadn't been cleaned for years. All in all not a very advisable accommodation. — Rosy , German (2007-08-28) What an amazing place! I participated in a green wood furniture course they just happened to be running during my stay, one of the most empowering things I've ever done! Inspiring place and truly inspiring staff, great food and a cozy log fire. Thanks to all the co-op staff for a wonderful stay! — Finn (2005-11-14) It rocked! This hostel is awesome! :):):):):):)P — Andrew Poole (2004-12-13) As soon as we arrived we were greeted by many friendly people. The students who went liked it so much their third visit is coming up on the 17th of December. I recommend this hostel more then any I have visited. I can't wait to be greeted by the friendly staff once more. The students feel very much at home, and it is very cozy. As Christmas is approaching, they are decorating the hostel for us, in time for our visit. — Groby College (2004-12-13)
