Another brilliant YHA offering great value for money. I stayed in a private room that had a fantastic sea view and everything was spotlessly clean. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the optional breakfast is worth it and has a lot of choice. Location is at the top of a steep hill but only a 5 minute walk to the harbour.

Arrival beware
On arriving I was asked to produce an identity card/passport etc. I was informed that unless I produced it I would not be allowed to stay. I had travelled 300 miles from the other side of London to be greeted like I was some sort of criminal. I didn't have a passport or identity with a photo ( normal in England) and the guy on the reception said ok unless you produce it you cant stay. I am not sure where it says that on your web page but I certainly wasnt aware of it . I live in a country that doesn't have ID cards so why would YHA need it? In the end after much protesting by me, I was told if I had two credit cards in my name I could stay. It was an unpleasant experience, to say the least. Apart from that, it was ok. The room was fine and parking easy and an amazing view from my room. You just need to train staff a bit more in how to deal with stressed customers as I was after I arrived and informed I couldn't stay.

Coverack YHA
It was very clean. The night was very expensive for what was provided. £109 did not include any tea or coffee in the room, no private bathroom, sleeping on a double bed under a bunk bed with a plastic mattress. Only one pillow each. No table in the room. No coat hangers. So many rules! Very overpriced.
