Excellent location, friendly host, well appointed pod. Easy walk down. Beautiful views.

If I may suggest any improvements, it would be to upgrade the quality of the bedding. The mattress was quite firm, which can be uncomfortable for side sleepers like myself. Also, providing a sponge for washing up would be appreciated (or we couldn't find one during our stay).

The pods are ideally located, offering stunning views and serene quietness. I absolutely love everything about this place. This is my second time staying in the pod, and hopefully not the last ! Both times, we were very fortunate to have the most beautiful winter sunny days, making it my favorite time to visit Assynt/Coigach.

Nothing at all in fact it was the best stay of our whole trip.

Great communication with the hosts, well equipped and comfortable one night stay as part of our NC500 trip. A way off the NC500 route (about 40 mins each way) but well worth it. Quirky walk down to the pods from the car park with wheelbarrows of our stuff!

I was a bit confused when arriving because the pictures kinda showed these sleeping pods and i thought these were for the hostel and another couple told me they had the same experience. But when you book a bed in the dorm room you will be sleeping in the main house. Also the shower and toilet are separate so you have to go outside. (And fight off some insects in the toilet)

Its an interesting hostel right in the nature. I loved the location. It's kinda hard to get there since there's nothing around but it's really unique. There's a pretty kitchen and the shower is really nice.

We stayed in one of the very coosy wooden tiny houses which have a kitchenette and own bath. Perfect even for 3 adults. Stunning location in midst of nature. Nice social contacts in the communal kitchen, which is part of the hostel.

Could maybe do with putting a little railing at the front porch of pods as quite a steep drop and a little precarious in the dark and rain! Only a minor suggestion - great stay.

Beautifully clean and well equipped pods, beds super comfortable. Heating switched on when we arrived. Lovely views over coast. Perfect for exploring the area and getting cozy and dry after a long day.

Loved everything about this place, very nice atmosphere, clean and everything you need and especially the location is magical and stunning

Amazing location and great rooms, was also really easy to find

Stayed in September 2024

I search for places to stay with no or limited wifi or with wifi & phones confined to designated areas only & NOT the bedrooms, & no routers near bedroom walls, as I am sensitive to the radiation. So although I found the whole hostel comfy & lovely, I had difficulty sleeping through the buzzing/burning sensations due to the wifi. I hope independent rural hostels will offer wifi-free places or areas, so we can experience nature-before-digitech as we used to.

The view from front door & windows was lovely - you can watch the dawn over a vista of distant mountains, islands and sea. The wifi was very good /strong signal

Beds are worn out. Really off the beaten path. Possibly a plus for some with a car. Dorms only have outdoor facilities but heated

The guests and kitchen space was great to bring all guests together

Although we loved the location, the walk to the pods with the wheelbarrows was hard work. We didn’t make it easy by arriving late when it was dark and wet but the path could potentially be made easier to walk down.

The location was greet, out in the middle of nowhere, very private. The pods are very cute and well maintained. Perfect for a cosy little stay.

A beautiful place for people who value peace and contact with nature

Wanted to return there having stayed there when it was a SYA hostel in 1974! Pods were very well designed & comfortable.

Stayed in September 2024

The pods don't have loads of kitchenware or a hob so it's clearly expected that you'll cook in the communal kitchen, which feels very 'hostely' for £120 a night.

This is an amazing location which truly feels like getting away from it all. We loved the walks right from the hostel down to the beach and along the coastline. The pod was comfortable and clean and Ruth provided an air cooler as soon as we arrived (it had been a hot day) which was great. The communal kitchen is clean and well equipped.

Absolutely nothing

It's not an exaggeration to stay that the location of this gorgeous hostel is among the best in the world. In addition to the natural beauty and rawness of the place, the pod also far-exceeded our expectations. It was incredibly clean, well-equipped and cosy, and the shower, hot. Tea & coffee were provided, which was a lovely touch...we brought milk and everything else we needed with us. Ruth was lovely, striking just the right balance between discreet and available. We stayed for two nights, and I would definitely recommended this, as a minimum, to really appreciate the location. The Summer Isles hotel served really exceptional food at very reasonable prices...definition book! An unforgettable experience in every way. We would love to return.

The midgies, but Ruth can't do anything about that!

The camping pod was fully equipped with everything we needed. Beds, although firm, were very comfortable. Ruth was a star, showing us where everything was and checking that we had everything. She gave us marshmallows for our firepit, what a star. The views were stunning, and it was lovely to be away from everything.
