Uses
Some of the original building dates far back into the 18th century and was holiday rooms as early as the turn of the 20th century. It was also a Post Office, prior to 1928 and then converted into staff accommodation for the Nethy Bridge Hotel.
Richard and Patricia Eccles bought it in 1982 and opened it as a bunkhouse in Jan 1983. After 33 years and up to 10,000 annual bednights, they sold it to Heidi and Peter Charlton in January 2016.
Construction date
1700s. By 1865 it was as it was in 1983 when converted to a bunkhouse with a new section added at the back.
