Details

If you are walking or cycling the Great Glen Way we are just minutes from the track, one mile north of Laggan Locks - either one or two days' walk from Fort William, depending on your pace.

If you want to escape into the hills we're surrounded by 'Munros' in Glen Garry, Glen Dessary, Glen Spean and the Great Glen.Or if you prefer to paddle, the Garry, Spean, Roy and Moriston rivers are within easy reach - and the Caledonian Canal runs just behind the hostel.

We provide comfortable accommodation in twin, family and dormitory rooms. We are open all day and there’s no curfew. If you are looking for a venue for your next school trip, club meet, or family get-together, we offer excellent facilities at a great price. The Hostel is also available for exclusive use throughout the year.

We also have a lovely on site restaurant 'The Farmhouse Kitchen', which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and can also prepare packed lunches for your onward journey.

We're in an excellent location for exploring the Highlands and we can advise on day trips from here taking in sights such as Glenfinnan, the sands of Morar, Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye, and the castles of Urquhart and Eilean Donan.
