Hostels in Dalwhinnie

Dallas Ireland

We have had bad experiences before with relation to some hostels, so we were a bit nervous about staying in another, well all I can say is THIS IS NO ORDINARY HOSTEL! It is exceptionally clean, and organised. The host, (shame we disturbed his dinner with our arrival time, but he said its common occurence! haha) was wonderful and informative. He runs a brilliant establishment. The kitchen was organised and very clean, which also comes down to the other people staying there as everyone cleans up thoroughly after themselves. The same can be said for the bathrooms and toilet facilities (there are multiple of them, so no shotage/or waiting to use a bathroom), they were very clean, and all you need to tidy up after yourself is right there for you. The bedroom we stayed in was a double bed, with a single bed as well. It was spacious enough, all we needed for the 1 night stay. I am personally a 'firm mattress' sleeper, so the mattress was ok and I slept fair, but I did have to put the single bed duvet on it to cushion the springs. The bed linen was clean and smelt clean and fresh. I have recommended the hostel to every other motorcycle rider that we met along our journey through Scotland, and they will hopefully have the oportunity to stay in the gorgeous hostel. Ps: The train station is right there across the road, and I think that is just fabulous for walkers or hikers or even cyclists. Right handy!
