Lonely Planet review

Sing while you're swinging in a garden hammock, hit the sauna or watch satellite TV. Yep, this is a hostel - but it's definitely a cut above the average. It's also central and close to the town's boozers.

Long popular with backpackers nipping to and from Ireland on the ferry from Fishguard, Hamilton's deserves to be more than just a staging post. Run by a local who's done more than his fair share of globetrotting, you could easily extend your stay here while exploring the rugged north coast. And when you're done adventuring, you'll find it's a great place to chill out. That garden hammock is just the start. Surf the net, watch a DVD or barbecue some lamb chops in the summer sun. The clean, cosy dorms are heated and range from three to six beds. There's one double as well, and all linen is included. Bathrooms are fine and the friendly welcome goes a long way to making you feel at home.
