Get away from it all...

Liked: Lovely setting near a gorgeous beach. Friendly and helpful staff. Stewart advised us about a local beauty spot for a walk and we really enjoyed it. We wouldn't have found it otherwise. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable room and clean facilities.

Exceptional

Disliked: There's not free parking between 9-5. No WiFi.

Exceptional

Liked: Perfect location: 2 great beaches, hills to walk. Hostel: nice common area, well set up sleeping space: separated cabins for 2 people- so you can stay as a couple or as us: mother and son in a separate cabin area. Beds are comfy and duvet was heavy and comfy as well. You can meet sunset outside on the bench overlooking the sea.
Disliked: The cellular reception is poor ( was known in advance as it is explicitly said in advertising)

Hostel on one of Scotlands’s...

Liked: The location is stunning. Literally 5 minute walk from the beaches. Stewart was excellent as staff, even letting me back in the room when I locked myself out! Very kind, friendly and sociable which helped make the experience memorable; especially meeting the other hostel guests. No wifi at the hostel was weirdly enough, a feature. I loved disconnecting and seeing how the world kept turning even if I didn’t check my instagram for a while.

Absolutely smashing

Liked: Absolutely loved it. Bit out of the way but was worth it . The lack of signal and WiFi was refreshing and the rest of our group agreed however if that is important for you personally I would avoid booking. The lady working (Lauren) was an absolute gem and very welcoming and chatty. We played a game of cards in the communal area with other guests before retreating to our room for an excellent nights sleep in clean and comfy bedding. I can’t recommend enough. We all can’t wait to come back again on future adventures around the beautiful local surroundings.
