Description

Happy Days Hostel, the newest, best value, budget accommodation in the Cairngorm National Park.

Our convenient location on the quiet Kingussie High Street means we're easy to get to by road, rail, cycle or on foot and are just a short stroll from all that Kingussie has to offer.

A recent, purpose built, modern conversion of a lovely old traditional highland building, Happy Days Hostel is independent & family run and is a great place to use as a base for exploring this part of the Scottish Highlands or as a stopover if you're passing through.

SLEEP.
Rest your head on our fluffy pillows & snuggle down under your duvet in our modern beds or bunks and you are guaranteed a good night's sleep, all in the comfort & privacy of your warm, en-suite room.

RELAX.
Our cosy guest lounge is ideal for putting your feet up, chatting to fellow guests from around the world, writing your postcards, doing your e-mails, reading your book or simply watching satellite TV.

EAT & DRINK.
Right next door, The Happy Days Café/Diner serves great value breakfasts, top-notch lunches & filling afternoon snacks. We have a Table Licence, too, so you can enjoy a glass of wine or local beer with your meal. Our well-equipped Guest Kitchen is on hand if you prefer to prepare your own meals and the Co-op stays open late so that you can buy what you need. There's also, of course, a good choice of places to eat & drink just a short stroll up the street.

VALUE.
We like to think that our range of facilities & services, together with competitive prices & great deals offer you, quite simply, the very best value for money.
