Glencoe Youth Hostel in Ballachulish: Photos and Reviews

The hostel offers a choice of cosy solid wood panelled rooms, larger family rooms, and shared accommodation. Private rooms are available for couples and families, while shared dormitories suit solo travellers. The wood panelled rooms provide a cosy place to rest after outdoor activities.

A large dining room serves a wee breakfast for guests, or they can use the well-equipped self-catering kitchen. Basic provisions, confectionery, and soft drinks are available for purchase at reception. In the evenings, guests can relax with a Scottish craft beer or a glass of wine from the bar.

The hostel provides a drying room for wet outdoor gear and a secure bike store for cycles. A small, cosy lounge offers a place to unwind, and outdoor furniture in the garden allows for relaxation outside. Lockers, luggage storage, and ski storage are available for guests' convenience.

Set in one of Scotland's most spectacular and historic glens, the hostel is close to Glencoe village. Walkers and climbers use it as a starting point for Coire Gabhail - the dramatic Lost Valley - and the Aonach Eagach, which ends at the hostel. The nearby Glencoe mountain resort offers skiing and mountain biking, and the Sustrans cycle path leads to Oban.

The hostel is pet-friendly, welcoming dogs with pet bowls provided. The hostel is also available for exclusive private rental. Packed lunches for hikes can be arranged, and invoices are provided for business bookings.
