The Aviemore Bunkhouse

A staunchly independent hostel in a lovely old stone building situated next to the Old Bridge Inn (one of the best pubs in Aviemore) – on the Cairngorms side of town next to the River Spey – the Bunkhouse offers quality dorm-style accommodation, plus double rooms and self-catering options for groups and families. There's a drying room, free Wi-Fi and a kitchen open to all. Some rooms are private and en-suite and the place is kept toasty with underfloor heating and multi-glaze windows. If you want to rent the whole thing out for a big shindig, it'll cost you £700.
