    The bedroom was perfect, the shower really warm! The kitchen has everything that one needs to cook and is very spacious to share with others. The village of Swalinbar is cute and quiet, perfectly located as a base for touring the region. We highly recommend staying at Trivia House! Alessandra and Pierre

    The room size was brilliant. Plenty off space. Same for the wet room .

    Everything we needed for a comfortable family night stay. The park was a real treat for the children. The shower was very powerful 10/10 plus it all topped off with comfortable beds

    Nothing to fault about the property itself, but very little to do in the area. No restaurants for an evening meal. To be fair we were only stopping a night so may be ideal for families / hiking trips.

    Spotless accommodation, useful amenities (use of kitchen/dining area) and nice bathroom. Ideal stop over to break our journey.

    The room space could be better, but this is not an issue for a short stay. The options for food was very difficult, this could be due to Easter and bank holiday.

    Overall, the location and the room was comfortable. Value for money, the rooms are clean and loaded with list of amenities that is good enough for a family to stay at comfort. Nice place for a short stay.

    Beyond expectation as the word hostel can be off putting! However wondering why it's called Trivia?! Look up the meaning. If you want peace it's the place.
