The location is great. Waking up and seeing the the open countryside, cows and sheep absolutely lovely. The kitchen is very well equipped and the dining area spacious. Most of the beds are bunk-beds but we slept comfortably. The hosts were welcoming and friendly

Glenfeshie Hostel is situated on two floors within its own grounds. The property is accessed by the use of a key safe. A purpose built drying room leads which has hanging space for wet clothing/equipment as well as large, coin operated washing machine and tumble drier. The lounge has a sliding door to the patio which provides a southerly view up the glen. There is a Biomass boiler which provides central heating and lots of hot water. There is a wood burning stove in the lounge. A fully equipped kitchen is furnished with a double oven, an electric hob, a microwave oven and a dishwasher. There are two ground floor shower rooms. On the upper floor there is one large bedroom with four single beds and a further three rooms, each with two sets of bunk beds. There is a third shower room on the first floor. Stag/Hen parties are not welcome on this site, please call owner to discuss.
We have owned the hostel for 19years and love being in this part of the National Park, we enjoy cycling, walking, water sports and skiing all of which are available here in abundance. We are on site most weekends and during the school holidays and are at hand should the need arise. If we cannot welcome you personally then access by key safe is straightforward and we will pop by to say hello once you are settled in.
The property is located midway up Glenfeshie on its Eastern side in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. The National Park is a massive outdoors playground with too many activities to list. They include though: walking (there are two Munros within walking distance of the property), cycling both on and off road, water sports in the lochs and rivers nearby, outdoor leisure activities such as quad biking, go-karting, archery, aerial rope walks and descents. In the winter time the Cairngorm Mountain Ski Resort 25 minutes away with the ski resorts of the Lecht and the Nevis Range being approximately one hour away.
