Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Beautiful quiet cottage at the end of a row. Tastefully furnished and decorated, very clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds with fluffy duvets and nice bed linens. Good shower. Spectacular views of the hills from both bedrooms. Parking on the property. Great location for travel to Fort Williams and Oban. Host had helpful guide to the cottage itself and there were lots of books about Glencoe and walks to do in surrounding area.
