HOSTEL DETAILS

JUST WHAT YOU NEED TO UNWIND AFTER THE CITY. Situated at the rear of Craigellachie House, the purpose built Hostel has 3 bedrooms and sleeps a maximum of 10 (4+4+2). The two larger bedrooms each sleep up to four. There are 3 showers, 3 toilets, a drying room, lots of hot water, a fully equipped kitchen, electric central heating, and a lounge/dining area with a wood burning stove. The Hostel is well placed for outdoor pursuits, field studies or less strenuous activities. The Scottish National Cycle Route (Glasgow to Inverness) passes the door as does the Coast to Coast Mountain Bike Route. Shops are close by (100 yards) and local hotels serve excellent bar meals. There is off-street parking behind the House. Smoking is not allowed anywhere in the building.
Groups or families can arrange exclusive use of a room or of the whole Hostel: individuals and smaller groups are also welcome.
Newtonmore railway station is ½ mile away. Coaches stop very close to the Hostel: from Edinburgh /Glasgow (110 miles), Perth (65 miles), Aviemore (14 miles), Inverness (46miles). The A9 junction is just over one mile away.

Note: there is no buses between Newtonmore and Fort William.
