Loch Ness On The Doorstep

My Son stayed here while running the Lock Ness Baxter's Marathon. It is a hostel and sleeping was in an area with a few bunk beds. As it is right next to Loch Ness, it is ideal for sight seeing and hikers that would rather not sleep in a tent. Kitchen facilities are available to 'Make Your Own' meals - Handy Over All - A Great Place To Stay

Marvellous Morags

A quiet and pleasant little hostel, after planning to camp most of the Great Glen way and getting caught in a torrential downpour on the first night we really appreciated the opportunity to dry out and prepare for the next stage. Vicky the proprietor takes the time to get to know her guests and appears to appreciate nurturing her highland oasis.,She does the cooking cleaning, gives helpful advice and even sought out a pack of cards for us. I would recommend it to others and it's only a couple of minutes walk off the route.
