The property is located 21 km from Truro Cathedral, 29 km from Trelissick Garden and 29 km from Eden Project. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

The owners very friendly, helpful, and great at offering suggestions and ideas about places to visit. It was very welcoming and a really friendly atmosphere, exactly how traditional backpackers used to be! It was spotlessly clean and well managed, and with a variety of age groups staying, great quiet location, but yet everything on your doorstep!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Wonderful location with sea view. Very comfy soft bed, which I appreciated as I had been camping at a youth hostel previously. Breakfast too expensive so I had it elsewhere

    Hostel staff were super friendly and welcoming. The room was pretty quiet, of course though, if you are a light sleeper you will likely get woken when people come in after or leave before you. Views from the bedroom windows were amazing! Money off in the bar downstairs was also a plus, and there was a great sea view from the terrace. Felt safe being there on my own.
