We stayed at Loch Insh Hall with friends which was classed as a hostel on the website. However, it is certainly more than this - the rooms are clean and have everything you need with tea/coffee making facilities, towels etc. We received a warm welcome at reception on arrival where they were very helpful with information on local activities. The breakfast was also very good! Plenty to choose from and great service. The restaurant also serves lunches and suppers which again was excellent. The views from the restaurant are beautiful, looking our over the loch. Overall a great place in a great location.

The main Lodge accommodation is an integral part of this family run business in the heart of the Highlands and the Cairngorms National Park on a 14 acre site that adjoins Loch Insh, the river Spey and Insh Marshes. Insh Hall is a perfect place to stay and experience all that’s on offer on our site or to travel further a field within the Highlands.

Whether you are into outdoor activities or just like watching others do it then this is the place to stay. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, or numerous activities on offer. You can be sure of a relaxing stay at Insh Hall.

Comfortable self catering and bed and breakfast accommodation situated in the woods by Loch Insh. The main lodge is on top of the hill overlooking the self catering log cabins, the restaurant , the shop and all the other facilities on site, with a great view down the loch and Spey valley.

The main accommodation part of the centre, Insh Hall, was built in 1899 as the village hall between the two comunities of Insh and Kincraig. When these villages built a new hall in Kincraig, Insh Hall was put up for sale and Clive and Sally Freshwater bought it to give accommodation for their new activity centre business.

Over the years the original building has been added to and now has 24 rooms and two apartments but the old Hall remains the same and forms the main meeting and reception room.
