Skyewalker Hostel

ISLE OF SKYE TOP RATED HOSTEL - 2007 & 2008

HOSCAR AWARD FEBRUARY 2009

VISIT SCOTLAND 4 STAR HOSTEL

A warm welcome and true Scottish hospitality awaits you all at the award winning Skyewalker Hostel.
Skyewalker Hostel is situated on the stunning Minginish peninsula giving easy access to the Cuillin mountain range. It's location on the west coast makes for spectacular sunsets and gives you an ideal base for exploring the beautiful Isle of Skye.

The rural location means you are surrounded by unspoiled natural beauty. There is a great beach within walking distance with regular sightings of whales, dolphins and basking sharks as well as Skye's famous eagles!

The hostel is only a five minute walk from the local hotel which serves meals and has a cosy bar, very popular both with locals and visitors.

The world famous Talisker distillery is less than 3 miles from the hostel and well worth a visit. Portree, the capital of the Island is only 25 minutes away by car or local bus.

We have 40 beds in rooms ranging from twins to a 10 bed dorm and offer a very high standard of comfort and cleanliness.

The Hostel has a well equipped self catering kitchen, free wifi connection, a large garden area for recreation and barbecues. There is also a cool 'chill out' glass dome for guests to relax in.

Skyewalker Hostel hosts regular Scottish folk music sessions and has instruments available for guests to use.

It is also possible to book the whole place for special occasions such as birthdays, Munro completion parties, family get-togethers etc.

Check in strictly between 15:00 and 22:00 (outwith these times by prior arrangement only). Check out is at 11:00.

The Hostel is closed between 11:00 and 15:00 for cleaning.

Skyewalker Hostel...probably the best Hostel in the world...
