Davantage de place de parking. La cuisine étant le lieu de vie: odeurs de cuisine.

Good stop along NC500. Reception was lovely. WiFi didn’t reach the bedroom so I had no service. Comfy beds and ample parking.

The hostel was exactly as described and met all of our expectations! Especially the man working the front desk! He was so so lovely, helpful and caring! We really appreciated him and he made the whole stay a 10/10!!

Il faisait froid dans les dortoirs, il n’y avait pas assez de prises. Seulement 2 douches pour tout les dortoirs. Les douches ne fonctionnent pas bien. Les lits ne sont pas confortables. La cuisine n’est pas bien équipée et il n’y a pas assez de tables pour dîner. Il n’y a pas assez de casiers dans les chambres pour chaque personne.

superbe hostel, avec une vue incroyable sur les falaises de durness et les moutons. Personnel très sympathique et accueillant, les dortoirs sont spacieux et permettent de ne pas se marcher dessus avec les autres. Peut-être ajouter des prises électriques à l'avenir ? A part ça, l'endroit est superbe

Very nice Hostel. The guest were very friendly and willing to chat. The accommodation was very nice with thick duvets and comfortable beds. The staff member was so nice and welcoming, always up for a chat. He even made up a couple of beds for some late arrivals so they didn’t have to try and do it in the dark. Overall the hostel was very clean and would highly recommend for anyone doing the NC500 or even just visiting Durness.

Eine schöne kleine Jugendherberge mit gemischten Schlafräumen. Die Lage ist auch super, direkt neben der Smoo Cave und auch nicht weit bis zum Craft Village.
