Thank you very much for everything. On my last hike from Brora I saw 35-40 seals 😍

We have nothing to complain about. Everything exceeded our expectations and was well-organized. This hostess has everything under control; we definitely recommend staying here.

Tips for other travellers

We use this hostel as a staging point on the NC500. we normally travel as a group of bikers. Just be careful on entering the gate on a motorbike as there's gravel at the entrance and can get quite unsteady underfloor.
