Property Description

Aite Cruinnichidh is a warm, comfortable, friendly country hostel in converted barn, set in stunning mountainous surroundings 15 miles north east of Fort William and 2 miles from Roy Bridge. As we live on site, this is also a very safe hostel to stay at.

It is an ideal location for walking, climbing, canoeing and mountain biking. There are 7 rivers for paddling within 20 miles of Aite Cruinnichidh. Extensive cycle routes are also nearby. We can advise you on walking and cycle routes with maps available.
We are operating with a minimum two night stay at present, apart from those walking the East Highland Way and touring cyclists.You will have to contact the hostel directly to book a one night stay.
Please tell us the make up of your group, two women, one man and one woman ,for example, as this helps when allocating the rooms. Also helpful if we know if there are children booked with you. Please let us know by email or phone if you are wanting a women's dorm and we will do our best to meet this request.

I stayed here for two nights. Very friendly reception, adequate car parking, felt secure, nice kitchen setup. The 4 bed dorm I stayed in was a bit cramped, and got very hot at night. But overall it was a nice place to stay.
