About Glencoe Independent Hostel
Internet Access
A warm welcome awaits you at our very rural and rustic hostel in the heart of the valley of Glencoe.
THE HOSTEL is an original highland croft sleeping up to 26, in 4 bedrooms of either 6 or 8 beds. It has a dining room, kitchen and lounge with open log fire. Hostel rooms are marked 'standard' in the search.
THE BUNKHOUSE is more basic than the hostel alhtough it has recently been refurbished. The bunkhouse sleeps 16 in 1 room of 8 and 2 rooms of 4. It has a central communal sitting/cooking/eating area. The bathroom is accessed externally and is yet to be refurbished. Bunkhouse rooms are marked 'basic' in the search.
In both properties bed linen is provided and beds are made for your arrival.
We have an extremely basic shop on site (midge repellent, mars bars, rice, pot noodles etc.) so best stock up beforehand. We offer a basic continental breakfast for £2.50 which must be booked in advance.
We are located 'in the middle of nowhere' between Glencoe Village and the renowned Clachaig Inn, with live music every Saturday night, local ales and over 100 whiskies for you to try. Our views are fantastic.
We are set in 2 acres of land, surrounded with native woodland, which is home to Roe and Red Deer, wild birds and the occasional Pine Marten. Come rain or shine, the scenery is breathtaking, with views of the ridge and the Pap. If all night partying is your thing you'll find it elsewhere, if you want fantastic scenery and love the outdoors this is the place for you!
We have several low level walks locally, plus several 'Munros". Walking and cycling route advice is readily available. We have a have a purpose built drying room for your kit,.
Bike hire is available in the village - why not pre-book it?
We offer free pick-ups from the village/bus stop if arranged in advance. Reception is open from 2pm to 9pm (late arrivals possible via prior arrangement), we have no curfew and don't close the hostel in the day, so if the weather is not great, then you can just chill out in front of the fire with a book.
