I’ve stayed in many, many, many hostels around the world. This one, without a doubt, is my favourite by a mile.

Hopewell is everything you could want in a hostel. Peaceful, friendly, beautifully equipped yet unassuming, welcoming, tranquil, seemingly remote but actually wonderfully accessible. The owners Mike and Lynley do a superb job of making guests feel at home from the very start of their stay. I’ve stayed in many, many, many hostels around the world. This one, without a doubt, is my favourite by a mile. A special place indeed: if you can spare the time, come here. You won’t regret it.
