Came here for a one night stay after walking Sugar Loaf with my daughter in the day. I'll get this bit out of the way first. The drive down the path is not great. It's in a poor condition and from what I could see having checked in someone's wheel had been damaged needing a repair van to fix it blocking the path off. Luckily apart from a bang underneath my car survived both entry and exit. Now onto the hostel . The staff are really good. Very friendly, you felt that cared about your day and your stay. It was good chatting with the lad on reception about mine and my daughter's stamps from the hostels we've been to. Food was of good quality, both evening meals and breakfast, and great value with my daughter's being a £1 for each meal. Drying room is small and a bit of TLC is needed throughout but we were warm and comfortable in our room. Now the setting. On the bank of the river Wye it has great views and moorings if you were to paddle your way to the hostel. Lots of camping space at the bottom and a lovely old church which is sadly not accessible. All in all a good trip but I'd need the path improved before we visited again.

Svar från boendet: Hi NottsPanther, thank you for your review. Great to hear that in general the staff looked after you well. The track is a YHA legacy issue from when vehicles were not allowed and guests needed to access the hostel by foot, cycle or water. We do try patch it on a regular basis, and believe it or not, it is in the best condition since I arrived here in 2020. We have another 1000kg of aggregate, cement, stone and sand ready to be put to use in December and January when we get quiet. I will definitely recommend a visit to us using one of the local River Guide companies where you can access the hostel off the river - it makes for a fantastic 2 or 3 day stay.

Stayed in a bell tent. Comfy beds, spacious tent in a beautiful setting by the river. Tent had a (slightly muted) light and a nice picnic table and fire pit outside. It's a bit of a walk up to the showers and broader facilities like the kitchen, but it was all v well done. The only reason I haven't given it 5* is that I'm not really a camping fan! Next time I'll aim to stay in a room. Oh, and you access the site down a bumpy single track road with steep edges. Not the most comfortable ride but we survived!

Svar från boendet: Hello cholleyb, thank you for the review. We are constantly working on that pesky track and hope to get it better by next Easter. We are indeed very happy with our campsite and the tents, it is a truly magnificent spot to camp. However, we are happy to have you visit us and stay in the buildings for that extra comfort and less trekking to the facilities.

Sadly, despite an amazing location this YHA is very tired and needs significant investment. We have stayed at several hostels in the past as a family and this one fell well below our expectations. The decor was very sparse and most rooms suffered from areas of peeling paint and poor lighting. Often the lounge areas are cosy and somewhere to enjoy spending time but even these were bare with limited seating and the board games on offer were all incomplete. The self catering dining room felt like we were eating in prison with high windows, nothing on the walls, white peeling paint and a single light bulb "lighting" the room. The kitchen was acceptable but had fairly limited utensil selection. The other key thing to note, which isn't mentioned on the website or welcome email, is the steep and narrow access road. Whilst some may be comfortable driving this path it is definitely worth being aware of! The bedrooms were a standard YHA offering with bunk beds and a basin, fairly comfy and very quiet. We appreciated the canoe launch point which allowed direct access to the river from the property which was great. Sadly, overall, we were really disappointed with our stay and actually left one day early as couldn't face another day/evening in the property.

Svar från boendet: Dear Interadventic, thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We have had a tough year with some damp creeping into the walls, resulting in a number of rooms suffering from peeling paint. This has however been resolved and we have a 5 day work party scheduled to do the necessary refurbs soon. Unfortunately we are not blessed with much indoor social space compared to our capacity, but this is alleviated when the weather is good by all the outdoor benches and seating around the building. Our "good and complete" games are all kept at reception and are available free of charge: those in the reading lounge are for the little "early morning" visitors just looking for something to play with. Apologies that this was not mentioned to you when checking in. The track is our YHA legacy from when guests could not arrive by vehicle, and despite continual road works, it is a challenge. We do however note it on our website as a heads up to guest looking to book with us. Hopefully you will visit us in the summer on 2025 to see what we have achieved.
