Great accommodation!
We loved the location within driving distance of town and beach. The bed was comfortable, room & bathroom were very spacious, and the room was clean and seemed modern.

Great hostel!
The Barn had a wonderful atmosphere! Beautiful lobby and common areas. The kitchen was fully stocked and quite large with a beautiful view through the large window. We would definitely stay here again if in the area!

Great stay in the en-suite double rooms. Even though the radiator was off, the room was very hot. Other than that, it was an excellent stay.

The common kitchen is great. However, watch your head. The ceiling in the double bedroom is low.

Best hostel ever!
Incredibly clean and incredibly accommodating, isolated for lights and all the views! Full bar, great parking! Comfy beds with a great curtain for privacy! Clean showers and bathrooms! Full kitchen, cannot say enough great things about this place!

While this Hostel facility was newer, beautifully designed and impeccable, sharing a room with 4 beds with other guests just wasn't for us.
Staff was awesome.
We were supposed to stay 2 nights, but opted for a regular room for night 2.
If you don't mind the hostel experience, then you're good to go!
