This hostel is a real gem. Located right in the heart of the Cairngorms but with facilities nearby (cafes, bus stops, a local campsite). We could walk from the door of the hostel up to the hills and mountains and the staff were extremely helpful with tips on local hikes and information about local nature. We also ate dinner at the hostel, and the meal was easily one of the best we have had on our trip to Scotland for half the price Hand-cut, home-made chips and freshly battered and fried fish for around £13.50. Compliments to the chef! We also enjoyed the social areas of the hostel, a quiet room for reading and relaxing and a common room for games and playing pool with our children. We were a family of 4 in a 3 bunk bed room and had plenty of room for everyone. The inclusion of a table and chairs in the room was a nice touch as we could relax in the room if we wanted ( or even use the chairs to climb up to the top bunks!)
Nothing really. Only challenge for me as an adult was climbing down from the top bunk as the ladders are quite skinny, but the chairs provided made that no problem at all. In other hostels this has been a bit of a challenge - so maybe I need to make the kids take the top bunks next time :-)
