We come here every year with the Aberdeen University Surf Club and have a fantastic time. The girls' room upstairs has a beautiful ensuite bathroom with a big bath in the middle and a separate shower. Very cosy feel, with nice communal living room and a country kitchen. Also nice garden space out the back with a new drying room... More

Excellent hostel, friendly owner. Clean, all mod cons, the bathroom in the ladies dorm was excellent and the bunks were comfortable. Very well positioned near both the ferry and bus station.

We stayed for a couple of nights and had a great time - it really feels like you're in a home rather than a hostel, probably the cosiest hostel I've ever stayed in, and the rooms were large and comfortable.
