ABOUT US

 Acheninver Hostel is ideal for groups, independent travellers and families.  We have male and female dorms during the busy season with beds for £20 pp/pn.  These two large dorm rooms can be booked for exclusive use, seasonal rates apply (Room 1 : 8x beds, 1 double, 7 single; Room 2: 6x beds, 1 double, 5 bunk).  We have three custom built, insulated and heated en-suite Sleeping Pods which book as private rooms.  Each Pod sleeps 2+1 and includes use of all the main hostel facilities.  The max capacity of the hostel is 22.

Acheninver is a walk-in hostel, 300m along a rough track leading down to a secluded beach at the foot of the Garbh Choireachan Ridge.  There are easy and challenging mountain and coastal walking routes accessible directly from the hostel.  Muddy walking boots welcome and there’s a drying room on-site.  We do not accommodate dogs as this is a common grazings area (free ranging sheep).

We are a family run hostel (Ruth, Calum, Zoe and Molly the Colllie) open March to October for independent travellers and all year round for group hire.  We live onsite and are available to help if needed during check-in hours and for emergencies only after check-in closes, (Ruth is a trained member of the Community First Responder team).  Our dog is still young, she is very friendly and learning how to say ‘hello’ without jumping up 🙂

Gratitude to the Scottish Youth Hostel Association for running Acheninver as such an amazing heritage hostel for 79 years until they closed in 2015.  We reopened the hostel in 2016 to carry on the tradition of hosting visitors to The Coigach Peninsula and plan to continue for many years to come.

Travel well with our best of wishes.
