Insh Hall, hotel in Loch Morlich

In the western region of the Cairngorms National Park, Insh Hall provides simple bed and breakfast accommodations at the Loch Insh Outdoor Center.

We absolutely loved staying here. What’s not to love? Beautiful scenery, 2 parks for kids, a beach with sand, not over crowded and food on premises? We stayed 2 nights and when we got there, I said to myself that we wouldn’t leave at all the next day. And we didn’t. The beds were comfy with nice clean linens and towels. There was even a room with a fridge, microwave, kettle etc so you can bring your own. (Looking back I would have done this to save some money from eating at the restaurant every meal). They even had hot cocoa/coffee/tea in room with shortbreads. The food at the restaurant is fine, a bit pricey in my opinion, but the staff are all super nice and the location is great. I would love to go back.

    Nice, warm hostel. It was raining outside, windy and cold. The hostel was cozy and warm. There is a kitchen with everything you need. A dining room where you can leisurely eat and socialize. Our room was ready in advance and we settled in straight away. Thank you.

    The hostel is located within beautiful scenery. The beds and duvets are super comfortable and the fact that one gets two pillows is amazing haha. The bathrooms are really nice as well, as they’ve been redone recently. The hostel also offered oat milk as an alternative with a booked breakfast, which was a lovely surprise!

    Quite spacious room for four. Beds were pretty good for a youth hostel. The shared bathrooms were little rooms with a shower, toilet and sink and they were clean. The people at the reception were very welcoming and helpful. Good parking space right next to the youth hostel. Location is great for visiting the reindeer centre and the surrounding area.

    A great little youth hostel in a fantastic location. We stayed in a private room that was spacious and perfectly comfortable. We had access to our own shower and lavatory - just down the corridor. The setting couldn’t be better - loch Morlich across the road, literally at the foot of the Caingorms
