About
Rimstone Co-operative
Rimstone
Co-operative Ltd. owns a number of properties in and around Buchan and offers low cost basic
hostel-style accommodation to members, their
families and their friends who are interested in the caves
around
Buchan or surrounding areas.
The
Co-operative
is run by a group of five volunteer directors who are elected at the
AGM (with terms on a staggered 2-year time frame), and who meet
periodically.
"Homeleigh",
as it is affectionately known, provides 11 bedrooms ranging in
sizes suitable to sleep from 2 to 12 people as well as a fully equipped
kitchen, dining area, lounge area, communal toilet and shower
facilities and a washing machine.
Facilities
include: basic beds with mattresses and pillows, but NO
linen is provided, so BYO sleeping bag, sheets, blankets,
pillow case.
Bedroom
arrangements: Bookings are usually made "per bed", with
the accommodation fee "per bed". When the facility is heavily booked,
there might be a need to share a bedroom if there would otherwise be a
vacant bed. Alternatively, you can reserve a "room" but you might need
to pay for the other beds in the room.
Bookings
can be made all year round for any number of people (availability
permitting). Whether you are a group of friends, university group,
commercial group or interested in speleology, everyone is welcome and
encouraged to
enquire about membership.
Please note that the accommodation is very nice, but it is not 5-star.
