Ideal for walkers

Clean, comfortable and well-equipped hostel. Ideal for WHW walkers. Close to the village but in a pleasant spot by the river. Tea and coffee provided.

Good hostel but a bit dated. Clean and friendly staff. Great location. Room didn’t even have a table to put things down on, which seems small but the room was just really impractical. I would stay again but they need to put a bit more thought into their rooms.

This is a fabulous hostel with excellent self-catering facilities, and an amazing location - ideal for those walking the west highland way in particular. The one single negative is that the ladders on the bunk beds have very narrow steps which makes it quite painful on bare feet to climb up and down.

It’s a nice stop for backpackers along the journey. It’s in a small town with not a lot to do

Disliked: Amenities
El personal es atento y amable, la cocina y comedor para compartir están limpias y bien equipadas. No me gusto que la habitación era excesivamente austera, una sola silla, nada de armario o estanterías mas allá de unas perchas, en el aseo ni siquiera había donde dejar el neceser.
