Please note:
We do not accept stag/hen parties or drinking groups and we do ask that you will be quiet after 11pm both inside and outside the hostel. Hi Guys, we don't expect you to have a ball in the hostel, -we expect you to return to the hostel worn out after a hard day doing the local mountains, fells and other stuff ready for a good nights sleep to prepare for the next day.
Large single sex groups may be asked to provide info on activities at booking.
We will do our best to provide hostel accommodation as described above at all times however our liability shall be limited to a refund of booking value if we can not provide this accommodation for any reason beyond our control. You may be in a larger dorm than the number of spaces shown on the booking engine. If this might be a problem for you please phone AB before booking. Please do not book into a mixed dorm unless you are a mixed group or couple.
