Very good value, clean, quiet hostel in the heart of one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.
Friendly staff will look after you if you haven't brought food, but it's supposed to be self-catering so there's a big kitchen to use. No TV (there is dial-up internet) and your mobile won't work, so bring a book to read by the peat fire.
If you're interested in the controversy relating to the Shell pipeline being installed nearby the owner might even give you a lift to one of the regular protests at the site.
