Portsoy, The Sail Loft
Set on the coast near a small bay, with own parking area.
Large modern communal kitchen and dining area, well equipped for self catering , clean and smart facility with separate sitting room.
Ideal for singles or families as a base for a restful break.
Disabled shower requires hooks to hang towel and clothes.

Superb hostel in a superb location. Has to be one of the (or the?) best bunkhouse in the UK! Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Modern, with all facilities and beautifully warm in January.
you HAVE to visit this place!
