Centrally located hostel in the midst of the southern Highlands. Extremely weldriven place and very friendly and helpful staff (the owners Greg and Helen). If you have your own four wheels and want to explore other parts of the highlands and the islands on daytrips beware of the distances.

Thank you for such a nice review. The hostel is well located to spend day tours in all directions but the nature of the roads in the Highlands and the average vehicle speed during the summer season means that you should try not to be too ambitious in your objectives. We always try to give practical advice to our guests about what is reasonably achievable in a day but we appreciate that it can be difficult to rein in one's enthusiasm if guests have a list of "must sees".

Short and to the point. We appreciate your taking the time to review us. Thank you for being so positive. The nearest hotel is called The Invergarry Hotel (not Inn).

It’s always a pleasure to host you. You are one of our most regular sets of overseas visitors and it’s been great to observe your boys growing up over the years. Until 2025!

My stay could not be more perfect. Excellent facilities, including very efficient drying room, very clean and well organised and Greg and Helen were very friendly and helpful as always.
