This is an out of the way hostel that would appeal to walkers/hikers/climbers/recluses more than those looking for pubs, attractions, etc. The place was empty when we stayed and the owners were reluctant to heat the place so it was a little on the cold side.

My pleasant experience began with a simple phone call to arrange accommodation for a couple of nights and continued from the moment I arrived till the day I left.
