Hostel Details

Ratings
Newly opened 18 bed 4 star hostel on the southernmost edge of Cairngorms National Park.

The Minister’s Path with another new bridge across the South Esk leads to the hotel in Glen Clova. Two Munros, the Mayar & Driesh, link Glenprosen to the Cairngorms plateau. Inside there is a raised red squirrel viewing area in lounge, with wood burning stove, drying room, TV & internet. The village hall is nearby for ceilidhs etc. Discount for whole hostel booking - ring 01575 540302
