The property is set 16 km from Corgarff Castle, 23 km from Abernethy Golf Club and 23 km from Grantown Museum. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi. A fantastic and well equipped hostel which had plenty of space for our large family holiday (8 adults/8 children). The hostel was cleaned to a really high standard and was lovely and warm within a few minutes of turning up the radiators. While we didn't meet our host due to it being a community run hostel, all the information about our check in was provided well in advance to ensure a seamless arrival and check out. We will definitely consider booking again when we are next exploring the Highlands!
