“Great bunkhouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 March 2011

I stayed at Calluna for a weekend winter climbing and walking trip. It was a bit of a last minute thing and I managed to get a bed in the Alpine Loft bunkhouse for two nights. I wasn't looking for the Ritz, just somewhere clean, reasonably priced and with half decent facilities. Calluna ticked all these boxes and more. My main concern was having somewhere secure to leave my kit during the day while I was out. This wasn't a problem as the room is lockable and you'll most likely be sharing with a few other friendly climber/walker types anyway (although do remember everyone will probably be getting up at the crack of dawn to get out on the hill, particularly in the winter!) There's a clean kitchen with everything you need and an excellent shower. The loft upstairs where you sleep is really dinky but nice and clean. There's a proper drying room and for climbers, well there's a bouldering wall downstairs if you need your fix. It is a wee hike up the hill from town but you won't mind it too much after a couple of pints in the Grog & Gruel.

“Brilliant as usual”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

No complaints whatsoever.

We stayed in one of the 8 person apartments. We were a group of 3 (a couple plus a mate) and planned to do some winter climbing so booked the two twin rooms so as not to disturb the other guests when we got up early.

The apartments are warm, well equipped with heaps of storage space - just perfect for climbers/walkers with lots of kit. The kitchen is a good size and well provided, there's even a cafetiere which is great for helping you wake up at 6am! There's a spacious lounge for relaxing in after a day on the hills.

The hostel also has two excellent drying rooms which means you'll not have to worry about going out with wet kit.

With great facilities and helpful knowledgeable staff I can do nothing else but recommend this hostel fot hill goers and non hill goers alike.

“Above your average hostel...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

Great place. Owners are mountaineers themselves and helped me with hiking boot repair, orienteering books, even box for mailing unnecessary things home so I wouldn't have to haul them on backpack trip into hills. Wonderful place.

“Brilliant accomodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2010

Just back from a weekend stay at the Calluna self catering cottage.
Well what can i say the accomodation is fantastic, great big kitchen which had everything you could need if you were cooking whilst there, the view from the living room was fantastic too over the loch (just wish the wetaher had been nicer to us whilst there). 3 big bedrooms too 1 with 2 single beds and the other too with bunk beds in them (only thing if you like loads of pillows i would take some with you as only one on each bed) but apart form that the rooms were great all with under bed drawers for storing your clothes etc, all beds had a small ight above them with wee shelf for your belongings. Decent bathroom and another seperate toilet which is handy when in a big group.
There was also a big cloak room as you came into the house and another storage cupboard with loads of boxed shelfs for all your outdoor gear very handy for bikeing stuff.
There was also a drying room on the grounds too and alock up for your bikes if needed and also a washing machine which was very handy.
All in all this was a great set up and will definatly be returning again if up this way.
