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 currently operating on winter hours. This means that we only take group bookings (10+) from 1 November to 1 March. We are, however, taking bookings now for 2026 and will be open again for individual guests from 1 March 2026. We want to thank everyone for a cracking season - from our lovely team to our intrepid customers.
The 21st Applecross Duathlon is taking place on Saturday 19 September at Hartfield Hoouse Hostel. 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. AND SAUNAS! Yes, Applecross now has its own sauna and it will be on site and available to ease those weary limbs over the whole duathlon weekend. Put it in your diary now or visit www.applecrosssauna.co.uk to book.
