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

Prosen Hostel is set in the heart of the Angus Glens. A brand new footbridge & path leads along the prettiest stretch of the river Prosen to Glenisla, and the Cateran trail, in Perthshire. 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

I was on a cycling holiday with some friends and we stayed here for one night (we've had 20+ cyclists here before). It really is one of the best hostels I've stayed in! It was very clean, beds were prepared for us, the shower was lovely, good sized kitchen. A key feature is the wood burning stove- the staff made sure wood was available for this (with the central heating this was not required, but it was a nice touch). Highly recommend to others. Will use again, thanks :)

Cleanliness generally very good but let down by what I suspect were seamen stains on the male shower cubicle wall - not nice! Hostel response: Unfortunately it's now far too late for us to check; but I do think it's unlikely. The day before our only guest was a single female, and immediately before that, 2 days of a 60th birthday party. It would be much more helpful to hear these problems when they happen rather than posting a guess that may be incorrect, yet is quite offensive.
