The Hostel

 

All booking are made through our website, please use the form on the homepage

We run a small, cosy but well-equipped hostel just a few minutes walk from the ferry terminal, shops, cafe, bank, post office and pub. The views over the castle and the bay to the islands beyond make it a wonderful place to spend a few days while exploring the lovely island of Barra.

 

The hostel facilities consist of:

• 2 living rooms, one with a lovely living room with a wood burning stove,
• Hot showers 
• Outdoor and covered drying facilities.
• 2 kitchens
• Bike shelter
• 5 minute walk to ferry/shops/bars.
• Sea kayaking available from hostel (check out our 'Out & About' page).
• Beautiful views over the castle, beaches and islands beyond.
• 6 twin rooms. 
• 1 family room. 
• 2 bunk room sleeping 4. 
• 2 garden camping pods
• Lodge rooms have full disabled access

Our hostel is a small, family run hostel set in a stunning location. Dunard is Katie's family home which has been converted into the hostel you will find to day. If you are looking for en-suite, or bed & breakfast then we suggest you try booking one of the lovely B&B's that are in the village. However if you enjoy hostel life and are happy sharing the facilities with other hostellers then we think you will love your stay with us. 

About our Garden Camping Pods

We have two small garden camping pods, one is a twin and the other a double. When you book the pods you have use of the hostel toilet and shower as well as the  hostel kitchen and living area (30 meters away). Access to the pods involves some steps. If you want real peace and quiet then you will love the pods. If you want easy access to all the hostel facilities then you may be better booking a twin room in the hostel itself.
