We were surprised at how few hill walkers & climbers were staying at the hostel, considering the fantastic local area - Munros, Corbetts, awesome scenery & easy low-level walks. The approach roads to the hostel from both Kinlochewe & Lochcarron are scenic & well engineered, with magnificent views in all directions.

This is clearly a show piece hostel. Excellent in every respect. One of the staff (Em) even bakes cakes for the guests! What a great place.

I think this might be my new favourite hostel! Had such a warm welcome from Em, as a lone traveller her wonderful kindness and hospitality made it a memorable stay, and with her free home baking you are completely spoilt! The hostel is run so well by them all with a lot of thought put into the small things. The hostel was full when I stayed but it was still spick and span showing the care that is put into running the place. One of the best hostel stays that I've had!
