“The friendliest staff..”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

Keith and Davina are the BEST. They're friends who I don't see enough! Myself and my boyfriend stayed in the Bunkhouse for a night when stuck for accommodation, after a little crisis. Keith welcomed us with open arms. It's great to know that there's people who are there, even for locals like ourselves.

Hi Thanks for taking the time to post your review and best wishes for the future. Keith More

“Excellent Hostel”

Myself and my girlfriend stayed for 3 nights and had a great time, the lounge is warm and inviting with the fire, the kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. The Bedrooms is clean and there are only 6 people per room so it is not too loud.

HI Thanks for such a fantastic review, glad you had a good time. We try to unashamedly encourage an 'old school' communcal atmosphere in the hostel where people of all ages and nationalities can get together, chat about their adventures and plan the next one. Glad you enjoyed it! Keith More

A group of four of us rented a caravan here for the second year running and my parents have now been persuaded to stay here for Mum's 60th in May. It is a fantastic place to stay. The caravans are in immaculate condition with towels and warm bedding provided. Very cozy. With only a few caravans tucked away in the... More

“Highland Bliss”

Reviewed 7 March 2013

This hostel (barr none), is my favourite hostel in Scotland. In fact I would go as far to say it's one of my favourite PLACES to stay in Scotland. First let me give you the basics. Beautiful building, wonderful facilities, stunning setting and an extremely helpful 'can do' attitude from the lovely owners Ketih and Davina. I've been visiting this... More

Well, what can I say other thanks for such a fantastic review Jacquie! I hope you've not oversold us though. I think you and your groups get so much out of the facilities and area because of the effort that YOU put in before, during and after your stay. This is such a wonderful area but it really pays to...

“Caravans at new year”

Reviewed 5 February 2013

Love this place. We booked a caravan at very short notice, and they were even better than expected. They have everything you need for a cosy comfortable stay at an excellent price. And the 15 minute walk to and from the pub was always fun. Very highly recommended.

Hi Thanks for your fantastic review, glad you enjoyed your stay in one of our new caravans. Hopefully see you again sometime. Keith More

Hi Thanks for such a fantastic review, glad to hear you had a good time. From reading your review you actually stayed in our hostel, the bunkhouse is a completely separate building.
