Clean, comfortable stop on the South Downs Way.
Pros:

Good communication pre-visit. Rooms were clean, comfortable and thoughtfully laid out. Staff were friendly and kind. The ethos of the centre is one we support.

Cons:

We walked from Winchester and approached the building from that direction arriving at the back of the building. There was no signage to confirm that we were in the right place on the approach or on the back of the building. It was pouring down and it would have helped to know we were in the right place. It’s a minor thing however and easily remedied.

Pros:

Location is great for South Downs Way, and you can see a beautiful sunset.

Cons:

Hostel area is noisy with slamming doors. When I booked on Booking.com it said breakfast was included, but the staff said it was a mistake. They let me have the breakfast but kept on asking me to show them where it was written on the site.
