ザ・セイル・ロフト - ホステル(The Sail Loft - Hostel)

We spent one quick night here. We would have given it a five but we ended up short a set of sheets when we checked in late. The building is modern and well maintained in an amazing location on the Firth of Moray.

I’ve stayed in many a hostel and bunkhouse, some good, some pretty awful, and I generally try to keep my expectations low - it’s just a place to bed down for the night, shower, and rustle up the odd meal. In saying that, the Sail Loft sets the bar pretty high. We had a very friendly welcome and tour of the building, which was only restored quite recently. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds and ample storage space and two lockers. The whole place is bright and airy, everything is spotlessly clean and well appointed. The kitchen is very well equipped. There are wheelchair accessible rooms, toilet and shower, which is great. The Sail Loft is also right by the sea and if you love laying in bed listening to the waves, you’re in for a treat. My only small annoyance was having to trudge downstairs to use the bathroom, which is a slight hardship for those of us with middle aged bladders, haha. I’d also like to mention the beautiful walled garden and surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sail Loft, and loved the friendly vibe. We’ll definitely be back - highly recommended.

Excellent bunkhouse,all you could want and need from this accommodation. Spacious rooms,showers,kitchen ,lounge,etc. Friendly and helpful staff. Situated in the bay next to the sea. local hotel,pub and Chinese carryout. Highly recommended.

We booked the sail loft for a birthday / hogmany / family get together. The facilities were ideal giving us enough room to cook, eat and relax with the extended family. We also made full use of the accommodation unit, which we can’t recommend enough. Very clean, comfortable with the added benefit of being able to hear the waves from bed. Fantastic experience all round.

Excellent location, good facilities, very clean and tidy, well kept, everything you need either on your own or with a group. Good value, plenty of parking, lots to see and do....or just relax! Thanks very much, look forward to returning.

I spent a few days with my two young sons, we stayed in a family room and had a great time. The beds were so comfortable, the room so spacious and the location is beautiful- right next to the beach and so peaceful. We enjoyed meeting the other guests inthe fantastic kitchen, my kids' first experience of a hostel was a great one and thank you to the team and the community for all. We hope to return!

Thankyou to Portsoy Community for this facility. Helpful friendly staff. Pristine clean . Visitors need to remember to keep it this way especially kitchen area. which is a shared facility , extremely well equipped .

We went there for my cousins birthday. We booked the whole loft for the weekend it was brilliant. It had every thing you needed huge kitchen and dining area nice lounge area with wood burning stove and good clean rooms.

Spent two nights in this spotlessly clean and well equipped hostel whilst travelling the NE250 route. This was one of four different types of accommodation we stayed in and our favourite. We couldn’t believe our luck! After the warm welcome from Ian we enjoyed supper on the patio overlooking the sea in the sunshine and reading in front of the log fire when it poured! Coastal walks from the door and breakfast in the garden. All this and stunning views! We are already planning a return visit!
