Hartfield House Hostel, hotel in Applecross

Hartfield House Hostel offers pet-friendly accommodations in Applecross. Free private parking is available on site.

We got generously large room, a double bed and a bunk bed and plenty of room around. The fine print said that there is a towel fee, but they supplied all the linen and the towels free of charge. We brought our grocery with us and cooked our dinner/breakfast in a large clean kitchen. The reception staff was very friendly and nice, but they are there only for a limited time of the day.

Broadford Youth Hostel, hotel in Applecross

Overlooking Broadford Bay, Broadford Youth Hostel provides easy access to coastal walks on the Isle of Skye and is just 15 miles from the famous Cuillin mountain range.

This is one of the better organized hostels I have seen, cutlery, dishes, and other things in the kitchen were very well-organized. The rooms were simple but what I liked best was the big siting and dining area. There was plenty of space to spread out. An excellent feature of this hostel were several binders of attractions and walks. I photographed these on my phone and used them the next day to find some wonderful hikes, including the Old Man of Stour which I would never have found on my own.
