The check in is only between 5-8:30pm. I arrived at 9pm and luckily I called beforehand and the reception lady waited for me. The staff is very friendly. Everything was very clean. The kitchen is big and can allow 3 groups cook at the same time. The surrounding is serene. The river in the front provides natural white noise day and night, good for sleeping.

Great location, great hostel

One of the nicest YHAs we have stayed in. Room, albeit not huge, was sufficient for our needs. The kitchen is fully equipped, clean. Hostel conveniently located at the South West Coastal Path entrance into Boscastle. Parking nearby for offloading luggage.

wow yha!

We were upgraded to a lower floor room with self contained everything, due to my disabled mum having stair trouble. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the hostel was so comfortable and cozy, in a prime location right down by the water. We listened to the twinkling stream all night, right outside the window. It was a relaxing and comfy stay in a picturesque and enchanting village.

Die Jugendherberge ist sehr wohnlich und gemütlich. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Einzig die Matratzen waren nicht gerade ein Traum. Aber das Gemeinschaftsbad war sehr sauber. Die Küche war großzügig und es war alles da, was man zum köcheln benötigt. Das Wohn-/Esszimmer war sehr gemütlich. Sehr freundliches Personal zudem. Und die Lage ist der Hit.

Sehr idyllisch, an wilder Felsküste Cornwalls

Sehr idyllisch gelegene Jugendherberge, einen kurzen Fußweg entfernt von beeindruckender Felsküste. Sehr zu empfehlen, man kann selbst kochen und kommt schnell mit Mitbewohnern in Kontakt. Ideal für Familien und Einzelwanderer.
