Positive: This hostel is absolutely lovely! The building is centrally located and easy to find. The interior has been remodelled really nicely to support a hostel while still retaining original features from the old library and various little nods to the history. The room had a beautiful view of the harbour and the beds were comfy and sturdy. The entire place was spotlessly clean and the staff friendly. All the codes needed to access the building and the room were sent days in advance and there was a sign on the door saying they would be in the email for people who hadn’t seen. The showers were absolutely lovely- steaming hot, private and better water pressure than I have at home. The kitchen had a lovely atmosphere and any food left behind was clearly labelled as open use both in the fridge and on the side. There were 2 6 hob cookers along with several ovens and 2 sinks to allow multiple people to cook at once and there was free tea, sugar and ground coffee. Lots of charming crockery available and a wealth of pots, pans and other kitchen implements available and easy to find. Had a lovely stay and would absolutely go back!
Negative: My one ever so slight bug bear is the parking situation. There is very limited parking in the village and the 2 streets they said I should be able to park on were absolutely full. I ended up having to park around a 15 minute walk away which isn’t the end of the world just something people should be aware of. It’s always hard to park when you’re right on a sea front and there’s not a huge amount they can do about it hence i’ve not docked points!
Summary: Hidden gem on the coast of southern Scotland
