The positives: good location, clean bedding and friendly staff. The negatives: the hostel looks run down and the self-catering kitchen/dining area is far too small. Some serious investment is needed by the YHA. The gardens are overgrown. The staff accommodation looks almost derelict. (I hope it is better inside for the staff!) The kitchen lacks basics eg instructions on using the one set of chopping boards, and needs a deep clean. (The work surfaces were clean, but there is a filthy window sill, leaky sink, mouldy ceiling, grubby fan covers and exposed insulation.) We had a private room, which had broken glass in the picture frame, broken USB chargers and only one seat for two people. If you need somewhere basic to stay for a night or two, and go into town for an evening meal, it's fine - but it could be so much better.
