The Smugglers Hostel

We camped in the walled garden, with all the facilities of the hostel right there and available to us. Really clean and modern kitchen, toilets and showers, plus 2 shed for drying and bike storage. Lots of information about what to see and do nearby, it’s a great base to explore. And plenty of board games for when the weather was a wee bit wet!

A group of us hired out the entire hostel over Hogmanay and had a wonderful time. The staff were really friendly and helpful in the lead-up, and the facilities were spacious and clean. It's a lovely location too, would highly recommend.

A brilliant, very well equipped and clean hostel. The staff were very helpful in accommodating our needs. For a small hostel, the facilities are excellent and the rooms are spacious. Highly recommended, we will come again.

I’ve stayed here a number of times over recent years and it’s never disappointed. The location is perfectly positioned for a multitude of activities including munroing, whiskey trails, mountain biking and skiing. The host is friendly and very accommodating, when I was going to be late arriving without a specific eta they went out of their way to ensure my stay was as problem free as possible. The rooms are clean and tidy with enough charging points and lockers for all. The kitchen and dining room are enormous with excellent facilities. The drying room/shed is fitted with numerous heaters and a dehumidifier which is very effective and much better than most. Excellent stay thank you for being great hosts and so flexible. 5*
