“The bed is creaky and the mattress too soft.”
The sofa is small and not very comfortable. The towels need replacing. They are too small and could be better quality. The accommodation was clean (if a little dated) with plenty of cutlery and crockery. Wine and biscuits were a nice touch (unfortunately not to our taste). The large fridge freezer is a great idea. Parking is an issue as customers at the Co-op opposite tend to make use of the spaces. Perfect location for our weekend base as I ran the St Cuthberts Way Ultra Marathon. Ideal for a weekend break but if staying for more than 2 or 3 nights I would seek bigger accommodation.
Dear Yolander, thank you for giving me full marks for accuracy of listing and cleanliness. Well done for doing an almost 100 k run through the Cheviots and to Holy Island! I heard the fastest time was 14 hours! Yes, the extra fridge freezer is a bonus if you are staying longer. The mattress is good quality, and little over a year old with a memory foam topper. I am sorry it wasn't to your liking. The mattress in the other room doesn't have memory foam and might be more to your liking. I am sorry the wine and biscuits weren't to your liking. Many people who come to do long runs and cycle rides stay at the Youth Hostel. Have you been? The mattresses on the bunk beds are firmer; you wouldn't have a large bathroom with a bath, but you would have showers; the common room has plenty of large sofas; the situation isn't central, just a little walk up a hill to it; if you are cycling, they have bike sheds. Cindy and Carl are very helpful. I hope you have recovered from your run. It took me 5 days to walk it! Kathy
