Great hostel in a wonderful location. We stayed in the private double room and it was perfect for one night. New shower and comfortable bed.
Staff very friendly and free teas and coffee in the kitchen.
Great stopover on the Great Glen Way.
The room was quite basic for the price but that seems to be the way these days! Everything is expensive.
The hostel was quite quiet and didn’t have a lot of atmosphere but may have been because we stayed right at the end of September. It might be a bit more sociable over summer :)
