Scottish Islands Explorer - tries to be a value-for-money product
The hostel is currently for sale at £175,000. It will be a pity to lose it. Stayed about 20 years ago and the voluntary wardenthen spent his summers on Raasay and his winers in India. He was a most charming host.
ReplyDeleteAnother shocking decision from SYHA - and Tobermory hostel has closed too. What is going on? Let's hope the island can buy it and keep it going as a community run facility. I once wrote to SYHA about a closure and got an abrupt unhelpful reply.
