Liked: Peaceful atmosphere, lovely and perfect location, nice beds, good shower, good kitchen and lots of lounge areas.

Disliked: No wifi, but then, surfing on the web really isn't why you should stay here. Take the opportunity to enjoy being in the middle of nowhere.

11 October 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: They didn't fill up the dorms just because they could, instead they tried for as long as possible to let groups live alone in their dorms. Beautiful house and position. Close to many walks (although car is strongly recommended).

Disliked: Drying room not very good - it was quite poorly ventilated and it took a long time for things to get dry.

Patrick Deane

29 May 2010 Patrick would recommend this property

Liked: Perhaps you should ask what comments people have about the facility not just what they liked.I arrived at the hostel on the 21st at about 1245hrs and was told in no uncertain terms that registration wasn't until 5pm and was then locked out of the premises. Others who arrived later were in the same boat.On the Saturday I had to leave the premises at 10am and effectively was going to be locked out until late afternoon, I did eventually get them to agree, albeit reluctantly, to let me in after 1pm and sit in the lounge to read my papers. I should state I was doing the TGO Challenge walk across Scotland and was having a rest day in Braemar, hence the reason for hanging around the hostel.Apart from the above everything was fine.
