We had a family party weekend at the hostel, It was fabulous. Great location, plenty of outside space for champagne rounders, so much fun. It is very clean and spacious with fantastic views of the beach and sea and water sports available for more fun. Equipment included.

Booked the whole hostel for 3 nights for 13 people (5 mums and 8 kids of various ages). A slightly later check in time than anticipated, apparently due to the previous occupants leaving it in a sorry state! …

The location can't be beaten, and the facilities are good. If you're looking for the high life give it a miss, but for peace, quiet and communing with nature this is the place. …

What a brilliant location! Lovely hostel, brilliant views from the lounge/diner. The self cater kitchen is very well organised. Staff were lovely and really helpful. We were in room 7 - a compact but comfortable 2 bed room. …

An amazing hostel for a seaside break with our little 3 year old. Right on the beach so we could be completely immersed from breakfast through to bedtime. …

My 16 year old son and I spent 2 nights here. We couldn’t have asked for more. Set in the most beautiful location, with the most friendly and helpful hosts we had a fantastic time. The rooms, living area and kitchen were clean and everyone friendly. This was the first time we had stayed at YHA and what a wonderful introduction it was. Thank you 😊

YHA Port Eynon is a treasure hidden in plain site on the sea front of the beautiful Gower countryside, with no hotel blocks, amusement arcades and the like despoiling the area.  …

I love this place. It is a simple hostel, no meals provided, with the only access by foot, though you can get a car to within a 100 metres if need be. …

Lovely hostel run by Wayne and his wife (sorry I didn't catch her name!) Clean and welcoming. The only downside was the small trek from the lay by to the hotel but worth it for the amazing location!

Spotlessly clean and comfortable Youth Hostel, right on the beach.Access by car is via a small track between the public car park on the left, and a separate campsite entrance on the right. Park at the end of the lane (not obstructing the coastguard route to the left) and it's a short walk through the next field to the Hostel.
