Objectives and aims
The principal object of the Gatliff Hebridean Hostels Trust is to help all, especially young persons of limited means, to a greater knowledge and respect for the islands within the western coastal waters and sea of Scotland. This is achieved by providing or assisting local people to provide accommodation. The Trust is dedicated to running Berneray, Howmore and Rhenigidale hostels, in partnership with islanders, to a sound basic standard. Our goal is to provide hostellers with the opportunity to stay a while to get to know, and maybe come to love, the unique culture and natural environment of the islands. We are proud to be part of the SYHA family.
