Loch Ness On The Doorstep

My Son stayed here while running the Lock Ness Baxter's Marathon. It is a hostel and sleeping was in an area with a few bunk beds. As it is right next to Loch Ness, it is ideal for sight seeing and hikers that would rather not sleep in a tent. Kitchen facilities are available to 'Make Your Own' meals - Handy Over All - A Great Place To Stay
