This hostel was everything I was looking for - run by a very warm and welcoming family who offered me dinner and breakfast for no extra charge. Although they spoke as little English as I do Chinese, they were happy to tolerate my attempts at the language and make conversation through translation apps where the language barrier was too great - the young guy even had some funny banter via WeChat. He recommended a tour of the nearby Miao village of Dehang. While the tour guide did not speak any English, this was very good value even for a non-Chinese speaker, since it included transport, lunch, a tour of the village, several scenic spots, and the Aizhai Bridge. I'd definitely taking this option if it's also offered to you! The only negatives were that the facilities of the hostel itself were fairly basic - it had everything I needed but it's not luxurious if that's what you're after - and that when I asked for a recommendation for a bar the one that I was sent to was a bit overpriced (but then I think this is the case for most places along the river in Fenghuang).
