We were blown away by this beautiful place! The views and environment is absolutely breathtaking. We met some really lovely people and the young men who worked there in the evenings were helpful and very professional yet kind to everyone. The kitchen is well kitted out and there is a good system for marking your own food in the fridge etc. The showers were really good too and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the comfy sofas with the best view in the South Downs. The little restaurant serves delicious food and drinks too.

Good stay
Great stay as ever this is a great hostel way up in the South Downs
Good room complete with sink
Good hearty food served but youth hostel very reasonably priced and a good portion size
Good choice of food something for everyone
Staff were really welcoming and friendly
The Covid rules and measures in place works well
The shower booking system is no big issue even with a good number of guests staying at the hostel
Very much enjoyed my stay will be back
