We did a small roadtrip around the scottish Highlands and this was by far the nicest place we stayed. The facilities were clean and spacious, and the surrounding area was lovely. We stayed with a 1-year old, and the hosts were brilliant about this and provided us with a travel cot. I would recommend staying here.

Lovely Stay

Faultless stay. Comfortable family room with en-suite. Shower was powerful and great after a day of walking. We enjoyed the freedom of the lounge and self-catering kitchen. Badged as a hostel but so much more than that label. 

Faultless 

Can’t recommend this hostel enough. Had a lovely five days here reliving old memories of 50 years ago and making new ones. It’s a beautiful part of Scotland and the hostel is a wonderful resource for good value , comfortable and clean accommodation. The staff are all so friendly, helpful and kind, especially Jess, Ewan and Leanne. My single room was very basic but comfortable and had everything I needed. The bonus was the house martins nests outside my window. The communal areas are excellent, especially the kitchen which had free tea, coffee and milk provided. You are a bit away from the only shop but the hostel can sell you a ready meal for you to cook in the evening. You can also order croissants which are ready at 07:30 and warm. They are wonderful and definitely worth trying! The hostel has a brilliant leaflet of tracks and paths which is great for walkers. I walked daily and loved the scenery, wildlife and peace. There were quite a few visitors from France and Belgium  and although my French wasn’t very good it was fun trying to communicate with them and the other folk.
Sadly I didn’t catch the Applecross Inn open the two lunchtimes I tried, and the fish and chip van was also closed those lunchtimes. However one day there was another van, The Applecross Grill Society,  and it sold very generously filled bacon rolls and tea or coffee. The banter was cheery too. The junction cafe seems to be permanently closed or so I was told. The “ Walled Garden” restaurant is well worth a visit and I did book two lunches there and was well pleased with my visits.
Altogether I had a lovely stay and plan to book for a week next year. It’s worth noting that there is a minibus which goes from Inverness to Applecross return twice a week. It’s the only public transport  so is a vital service for locals and tourists. Come prepared for all weather and midges though I was lucky and didn’t find either a problem.

A very special experience.

Stayed here one night on our trip on NC500.
Staff friendly and informative 
Lovely location and house
Room lovely and bathroom big, shower very good.
Bed for me wasn't comfy too small, bed was noisy everytime we got up too the loo at night.
About 2 miles from centre of applecross.
No breakfast but you can order croissants for the morning, there is a kitchen you can get tea/coffee from and make a meal.
Price was good

Lovely location

A lovely hostel in a great location & well priced. 
Helpful & friendly check in staff. 
Marred by a ridiculously snooty mamangement on site holding a meeting in dining area kitchen, during breakfast time. Spitting dummies out in disbelief at guests actually trying to use the facility. ( Hold your meetings in an appropriate location or, after 10:30am maybe, so you dont get upset with or confuse your guests! ) Pathetic/ out of order!. 

Over priveledged dummy suckers

My fiancée and I had a wonderful stay here.  The hotel offers a lot for your money, great self catering facilities, clean rooms and friendly staff. We felt very much at home there and we will definitely return.  Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. 

Lovely hotel 

A great place to stay when cycling the North Coast 500.  Had a family room which was super clean and bright.

Very good facilities, brilliant kitchen and a gorgeous sitting room.  Dryer room was useful.  There's also a washing machine and a dryer.

Highly recommended.

Fabulous hostel 

Wasn’t expecting much from a hostel but after the treacherous Applecross pass in a bit of mist everything was welcome. Receptionist went well out of her way to make me aware of all the facilities. Bed was comfy and warm, shower was surprisingly powerful and the walled garden nearby do a great burger.

Just the thing

Hartfield House enjoys a beautiful location in stunning countryside. The shared bathroom facilities and the kitchen are of a decent level for hostel style accommodation. What is not okay, however, is the bedclothes, the mattresses and the quilts. Most specifically Room 8 has a serious problem in this respect which robbed me of a decent night's sleep. Put simply, it stank, as if it hadn't been aired for ages. The following morning I wanted to make an official complaint in person, but no one was at reception during the main checkout time between 9 and 10am. Travellers should be wary of this problem. My group of friends stayed in the main building, not in the adjacent bunkhouse. We all had similar experiences and were happy we'd only booked the one night. I would have preferred to overnight in a tent, to be perfectly honest. Travellers, be wary.

Be wary

Great comfy stay - we are travelling with our dog and we were allocated a huge well decorated room with 3 aspects, over the coast, the coos, the Belach na Ba.   Staff were welcoming and friendly to and made sure we knew where everything was, a real can do attitude.  The centre was clean, well equipped and well organised for us to cater for ourselves and also to relax.   There were great walks from the centre.  It’s not far from the beach and local amenities.
