I had a wonderful stay at Durness Youth Hostel during stormy weekend. It’s a very atmospheric and charming place, 10/10. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming, making me feel comfortable from the start. The kitchen is well equipped, and the common area with a fireplace is especially warm and inviting – perfect for relaxing when the weather is horrible. The location is great, just a few steps from Smoo Cave. I would definitely recommend it!
