Minnigaff Youth Hostel

We have an option, this year, to utilise Minnigaff Youth Hostel which has 26 beds available in 3 rooms - 1 four-bedded, 1 six-bedded and 2 eight-bedded - with 2 showers and 4 toilets. There's ample parking too should you have a motorhome or caravan and are looking for safe overnight parking.

We need to gauge interest though as, due to SYHA Hostelling Scotland's booking conditions, we would have to book the entire building.

Costs would be £20.00 per person, per night, on a self-catering basis, and if you have a motorhome or caravan costs would be £25.00 per pitch, per night.  Please note that there is no electrical hookup for motorhomes or caravans however you would have full use of the showers, toilets, kitchen and lounge areas, coin-operated washing and drying machines etc.
