After a difficult few months things are starting to look up. We’re very happy to be able to now offer shared bedrooms with a maximum of 4 households sharing a room. With the social distancing dropping to 1m we will be able to reintroduce our communal areas providing social distancing is adhered to. Just a few short weeks after that from the 9th of August things will be looking a lot more normal, all restrictions are scheduled to be removed. From this date onward, we hope to offer you all an affordable, inclusive and sociable environment. We really can’t wait! Come for the mountains, lochs and views. Stay for the people, good times and memories. We’ll see you soon.
