Accommodation
Our accommodation for the weekend is the stunning Cairngorm Lodge, only a short distance from the famous Loch Morlich, and with view of the stunning Cairngorm Mountain Range. Our accommodation offers our group comfortable accommodation in the heart of a beautiful Cairngorms National Park, surrounded by stunning scenery at every angle. After a long day hiking, we can head back to our accommodation and enjoy a tasty home-cooked meal.
Our accommodation for the trip will be in 4-bed and 6-bed dorms, exclusive to our group. If you’re booking with a friend let us know and we’ll make sure you get a room together.
NOTE: There is limited car parking at this hostel, and is first come first served.
