Achmelvich Beach Youth Hostel
Recharn, Achmelvich, Sutherland, Achmelvich, IV27 4JB, United Kingdom – Excellent location – show map
Great location and staff. Staff were attentive and nice, super informative and accommodating. Individual curtained rooms allowed for sufficient privacy for a shared room. Very comfy and very warm for a autumn stay. Good social areas with a wood-burner meant it felt very sheltered from the elements. Beds were surprisingly comfy for bunk beds, shower was great. Very safe.
