We had such a wonderful time at Radcliffe Lodges. The rooms were massive and the beds were very comfy, which is something I wouldn't expect from a normal hostel! All rooms and communal areas were that clean that our babies played on the floors without any fuss or worries they'd touch something they shouldn't. Location wise it was ideal within walking distance of the town, Quay and beach areas. We have n electric car and panicked that we wouldn't find a EV charging point..luckily the owner made is aware of 2 ev charging spots right round the corner that charged our car up without any fuss. All in all, a great visit to a lovely hostel and definitely will be back for another visit soon!

Great find. A "boutique" hostel. Super new everything really clean. Amanda checked in 4 weary cyclists, showed us the room, drying room, bicycle garage, lounge/kitchen with free tea/coffee cereal, bread, milk. Thank you Amanda. We will be back.

Absolutely perfect. Ignore the negatives, this place is the most welcoming place I’ve stayed in a long time and they go the extra mile if there’s an issue. Communal lounge is fantastic and the rooms are spacious and well designed. 5/5 any day of the week.

My friend and I stayed Friday to Sunday in a 4-bunk room, we were blown away by the quality of the whole place, and really enjoyed our stay. Tony the owner or manager (?) was really helpful, and very passionate about the place. I’ve given it 5-stars because for the price it was exceptional.

We have stayed here 3 times now and will come back again. We have 2 autistic children who struggle with going away but they were so excited to realise we were back here again. The rooms are very clean and well set out, the kitchen and lounge are large and absolutely spotless. The only down sides for me are no way of locking the door so we have to barracade it with bags (not an issue if your kids aren’t escape artists like ours!) and the shower sensor kept switching off. Our room got quite hot as the sun was setting onto this side of the building but with the patio door open it was lovely with a bit of a breeze and a view onto the marina. The curtains are proper black out ones which is perfect for putting little ones to bed when still light outside.

Just got back from Radcliffe lodge with seven other lads on our pedal cycles, this place is outstanding and I cannot speak highly enough abou it , from the bedrooms to the lounge area to the kitchen and don't get me started on the cycle lock up !!! It's just fantastic. Tony was there when we arrived and seen to our every need from sorting the bikes out to booking us into our rooms, I for one will be returning soon as i possibly can and i would recommend Radcliffe lodge to anyone !!! Thank's Tony 👍🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing location, lovely views of the marina. Great family rooms. Loved the communal areas, all the bespoke furniture. Very well fitted out kitchen facilities.

Mixed feelings about this place,so quite a long review: Positives - Communal areas are great - lounge has mix of big tables, and comfy sofas with great view over the harbour. Kitchen is great; spacious with induction hobs, ovens, and microwaves. Free cereal, toast, tea and instant coffee for breakfast - posh coffees/hot choc can be bought from vending machine. Everything very clean and in good condition (only a year old) Plenty of car parking, and secure storage for bikes. Negatives - Booking is confusing- price varies with how many people are in your room, rather than paying set price for the room (or per person) Rooms are accessed via external balcony, looks nice, but means you can't pop for a morning cuppa in your pj's. Also, it means the doors are heavy and slam closed so you can't go in or out quietly. And you are exposed to the weather as soon as door is open. Rooms are a nice size (we had a 4 person room), but limited storage space. No under-bed storage for bags, and although cupboards are provided they aren't useful for putting clothes in - set of drawers would have been better. Beds comfy, with light and plugs above each one, but limited head room on top bunks - anyone over 5ft9 can't sit up straight. Rungs uncomfortable when climbing up to top bunk. En suite Bathroom: Firstly- zero sound proofing, so you can hear everything!! (Choose your roommates wisely) Tap only dispenses hot water, and is so large it makes it difficult to use the sink. Drinking water only available in the kitchen. There is a large mirror, but is offset to the sink - was annoying when trying to shave and wash face. Showers- no temperature control and the head is fixed very high up. The shower is in an alcove with no curtain, so water bounces out and soaks the rest of the bathroom floor. Sensor control so switched off several times during my shower. Amble itself is a bit of a mix, it feels a bit rough in some bits, but is definitely improving and is a nice base to explore local area. Might use the hostel again, but was disappointed with the problems in the rooms, especially as it was custom built as a hostel, rather than the usual conversion of an existing building.
