Achmelvich Beach Youth Hostel

A peaceful and tranquil youth hostel. Open kitchen-diner area, well stocked for cooking and relaxing with a book. Bird table with finches galore from window view. Two showers - one electric with constant hot water, the other a tank and hot if timed well. Stayed in tight private twin room with space for our dog and his bed. Staff kind and helpful, making our duration as dog-friendly as possible. Access from modern car park area is a short climb, so care to be taken with luggage and those less mobile.

Lovely rooms, the YHA lady working there was lovely, the location was stunning! The facilities were clean and comfortable. Can’t fault it!

The location is good, close to Achmelvich beach which is really and indescribably beautiful beach for me personally. Now I understand why people say Scottish beaches are beautiful! The good part about the room that you can have some privacy by closing the curtains in front of your bed. The mattress was uncomfortable. But overall the hostel was good!

Lovely youth hostel. Friendly staff, nice clean rooms and a good, well-stocked kitchen. Also really nice how they had towels for us, never seen that before. Really close to the beach, and it has some spectacular sun sets, I highly recommend. The wee breakfast was amazing too, so all round, 5 stars. Would definitely go back!!

All was fabulous . Beautiful place, very clean and well maintained hostel with attentive, helpful staff. |We stayed in a twin room with shared bathroom and could not have wished for a better experience and would definitely recommend and want to return there. Kitchen was well equipped and well labelled.|Ben and Sally (staff) made our stay a breeze with their kindness and local knowledge.

We actually went July 2022 but the date wouldn't change to that.|Staff were friendly and helpful. The room just as you would expect basic and somewhere to sleep. Showers and bathrooms in next corridor but always clean.|Beautiful views.|Right at the beach.

I absolutely love this place. The hostel is located on a wee hill overlooking the bay and surrounded by lush green hills all around. Time disappears as you sit by the bay, or on the rocky green peninsula (as I did), watching the sun slowly set in the distance. The water in the bay is crystal clear, and the sand is so white. The common room is large and cozy, and the kitchen is well-stocked. There is a yard in front with benches where you can relax and listen to the neighboring sheep. The rooms are clean, and split with curtains and walls for every 2 bunk beds, which was nice. The gentleman that was working there was very friendly and helpful. This is the place to go if you want to get far away from the rest of the world and enjoy the quiet and peaceful beauty of rural Scotland.

This is as good as hostelling guests. Friendly welcome, comfortable dorm bunks with the bonus of privacy curtains, excellent showers, cleaned to a high standard, a warm spacious communal room - and in a beautiful remote part of Scotland where accommodation is scarce and expensive. Good sized family rooms also available and all reasonably priced - definitely one to recommend and return to visit!
