    Our stay at the Gairloch Sands Youth Hostel was absolutely spectacular, featuring magnificent sea and mountain views directly from the cozy lounge window where you can even spot dolphins. The former hunting lodge is perfectly situated just moments away from fantastic sandy beaches, making it a dream location for nature lovers and coastal hikers. Combined with the impeccably clean facilities and the exceptionally warm, welcoming staff, it provides a wonderful and relaxing base for exploring the Highlands.

    Nicht zu empfehlen, dieses Appartement ist ein Sicherheits- Risiko

    Es war leider sehr schlecht, nicht zu empfehlen!

    Nie wieder würden wir dieses Appartement buchen. Fenster welche sich nicht öffnen lassen, keine Frischluftzufuhr. Es riecht in der gesamten Wohnung nach Fäkalien. Zu wenig Stühle, Licht defekt, zu wenig Gläser, zu wenig Stühle. Der zugesagte Parkplatz ist nicht wie angegeben bei der Wohnung, sondern nur einige Straßen weiter. Sie müssen das Gepäck mühsam schleppen. Das schlimmste an der Situation, ein Vermieter welcher sich nicht kümmert. Fenster welche sich nicht öffnen lassen sind im Brandfall auch eine tödliche Falle für Menschenleben sein können. Diese Unterkunft sollte sie besser nicht buchen.
