My quest was to find accommodation near Woolacombe for a Pirate themed Stag Surfing weekend. It needed to be low cost and scalable since I was uncertain of the numbers. The owners were very amenable and suggested that I could rent the entire place exclusively (44 Beds) for the cost of approx 22 persons. The result was a most perfect... More

I bring a group of young surfers with me each year and although the group size and make-up vary the OBP team can always make ammendments to rooms... More

Kitchen area is well equipped. Bathrooms were clean - showers were very good especially one on second floor. Location is very close to harbour and pubs and restaurants... More

We have stayed in many hostels (pre-children) and would recommend Ocean Backpackers to anyone who... More
