The owners were really helpful in suggesting sites to see on Skye, and helping with the ferry itinerary. They were lots of fun and wish we'd stayed longer. Would DEFINITELY stay here again when visit Skye!!!!

Brian and Lisa were amazing. So much fun and so welcoming. We were a group of 8 and unfortunately only had one night. Had a big jam session with them all night but the rest of the hostel is dead quiet if youre not keen for that. Have travelled alot and stayed in countless hostels and i'd have to...

A little out of the way of the main site areas, but the staff more than made up for any negative comments. It was like staying in someone's home and some live song in their own lounge room. Definately recommend.
