Set in a stunning location, it was the perfect stay on our NC 500 cycle tour. The hostel warden was extremely helpful and welcoming. Top place.

Gairloch Beach Hostel
Very helpful staff. Couldn't do enough for me. Great room, although up 2 flights if old stairs. Lovely aspect & views. Remote - that's why I chose it anyway Nice evening meal. Good choices for breakfast, despite no use of self catering kitchen due to COVID restrictions

2/10 Poor

I did not stay there. After making reservations I received an email from the location that they were unable to process payment on my cc. I then phoned the location and after numerous attempts they were still unable to process the payment so I was told by their staff that she would have to cancel my reservation because of this issue. I made reservations elsewhere however this location ended charging my card as a no show.
