This is more like a grand country manor than a backpackers. Sarah is a fantastic host who will help you with anything. The rooms are great, no bunks! I was really sad to leave as i could have spent weeks there hanging out with all the other friendly travelers! By far the best hostel i have been to, if you are staying in Christchurch then Dorset House is a must.

Lovely comfortable hostel. Had booked a single room -- got given a double, with my own TV. Felt like a hotel (apart from not being en-suite). Nice and handy for the centre (fifteen-minute walk to Cathedral Square), friendly staff and lovely living room/TV room with pool table.

Home away from home. We loved the atmosphere, and the log fire was a lovely touch. The staff were lovely. I can highly recommend you stay, if you're a creature of comfort!
