Highlands Loch Ossian Hostel Break
Overview
One of the best reviewed weekends we have ever done so we are going back - Loch Ossian Hostel - no roads, no cars, access by train only via the UK's most remote train station. Did I say it's in the most beautiful location... This is real get away from it all - and at anew time of the year - see spring as it explodes in the highlands.

Location & Itinerary
Loch Ossian Youth Hostel is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking to get away from it all. It has plenty of low and high level walks to choose from, including a variety of Munros and Corbetts. We will certainly offer the chance to walk one of Scotland's munros. Perfect for star gazers and wildlife watchers too. This place has it all. Don't expect 5 star accommdation but expect a wonderful Spice adventure.
Travel & Stay
The hostel has a fully equipped self-catering kitchen, with fridge, and a small shop selling a range of snacks, postcards and sundries. Drying is available on two overhead racks and boot stands by the fire - the perfect place to relax after a day on the hills.
We can now enjoy a welcome hot shower, thanks to the development of locally sourced hydro power complimenting the micro generated solar power supply. There’s also electric panel heating throughout and all bed linen is provided, so no need for sleep sheets or sleeping bags. Other green initiatives include composting toilets, a reed bed grey water drainage system - and even bat-friendly paint!
Train only folks - no cars as the hostel isn't accessible by car. Trains run from Glasgow Queen Street. We will arrange to meet most of the group in Glasgow and/or Crianlarich to arrive in time for entry to the hostel from 4pm. Train journey is just over 3 hours.
