A large building set in its own grounds, Hartfield sleeps 50 people in a mix of ensuite doubles, family, singles, twins, triple, and a dorm room. There are hot showers, restful common areas, a shop, kitchen/dining hall, drying room, laundry, covered area for bikes, kit store, free WiFi, large garden, and venue for weddings and events. The complex can be booked exclusively or on an individual basis.
The Applecross (‘a Chomraich’ in Gaelic, which means 'sanctuary') peninsula boasts a breathtakingly beautiful and dramatic landscape. The main township of Shore Street is nearby, located around the picturesque bay and enjoys uninterrupted views over the island of Raasay and the Cuillin Hills of Skye.
Hartfield House is approximately 3/4 mile from the bay, and reached via one of the highest routes in the UK, the Bealach na Ba; from the top, on a good day, you can see the islands of the Outer Hebrides.
We are only a few weeks away from the 20th Applecross Duathlon. Nine miles trail running through the mountains, 15 miles on the coast road through some spectacular scenery, and then back to Hartfield for food, drink and hot showers. After the prize giving (medals AND prizes!), don the dancing shoes and head out to the Applecross Ceilidh, always a great night.
To book a room at Hartfield, please either call 01520 744 333 or email infohartfield@gmail.com. The hostel rooms are set aside specifically for duathlon entrants and so are not available for online booking. If you book two nights, you will get a discounted rate. Come and join us. No matter the weather, it is always a great weekend.
