Acheninver Hostel

Achiltibuie

Acheninver Hostel offers accommodation in Achiltibuie.

Guests can enjoy sea and mountain views from the property.

The area is popular for hillwalking, sea kayaking, climbing and snorkelling. The nearest airport is Inverness Airport, 140 km from the property. The Pod was very comfy, and we liked our stay very much. It is small and yet fully equipped, as described. Nature outdoors is superb. Pay an attention to come "light" as there is not much storage space inside it. Be prepared for the walk to the Pod. Not suitable for people who struggle to walk.
