Wow a week's work cooking for 13 scuba divers, who were all brilliant, made a lot easier with the fantastic, well organised kitchen facilities. Double of everything so other guests can still use all the facilities. Spotlessly cleaned every day. A comfy bed and hot shower and scenery that makes you want to stay and work longer!

Everything on this establishment's excellent website is actually "factual". How often can you say that? I could list all the attributes of the accommodation, but you will find them all there.  …

This is an excellent facility which leaves most other bunkhouses in the shade. It is especially good for groups. ||14 of us from the Lothian Sea Kayak Club arrived there on Friday 5th April, just as Storm Kathleen also arrived !  …

What a great place. Silent (as opposed to creaky) bunk beds!! Underfloor heating with own controls in the room. Kitchen defo one of best I've had in a hostel. My only suggestion would be the addition of a toilet facility independent of your room, perhaps near the communal area/lounge. Pic is view from room to the ferry. We left car on Mull and hopped over as foot passengers each day we went.

Had a very enjoyable stay here with my dog. The rooms are small with bunk beds but are comfortable and cosy with an ensuite wet room. There is a very spacious and well equipped communal kitchen/lounge. There a large decking area where you can sit out and enjoy the view.
