Hostels and Bunkhouses in the Argyll and Oban areas of the Highlands

By The Way, run by hillwalkers for hillwalkers, is situated in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and on the West Highland Way with fifty Munros and almost as many Corbets within half an hour (as the car drives). The hostel sleeps 26 in total with a mixture of twin and double rooms and four and six bed dormitories. There are excellent cooking facilities, a very good drying room and a small ‘library’ but definitely, definitely definitely no television.

Unique holiday accommodation in a heated, wooden wigwam! Strathfillan Wigwams is situated on a working farm in the heart of the West Highlands between Crianlarich and Tyndrum within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

The Wigwams are comfortably equipped with foam mattresses and each unit has electricity for light, heating and personal electrical equipment. Bring your own sleeping bags etc, though linen can be hired at an extra cost.

Come and stay in this small and friendly Hostel, with its cosy family rooms, situated in the scenic Royal Burgh of Inveraray.

The town, built in the 18th Century, sits on the shore of Loch Fyne - a large sea loch famous for its kippers! Why not head for the Mull of Kintyre and the Cowal peninsula or the islands of Islay, Jura, Gigha and Arran? The Castle, where the Duke of Argyll lives, is also the ancestral seat of the Clan Campbell. There are plenty of local walks and a few hills to climb nearby.

Oban Backpackers has a great atmosphere mainly because it has a big lounge with a pool table and an open fire. It’s a friendly place and good for meeting people.

Both our four star seafront and purpose built lodge offer panoramic views across the bay and great facilities. The hostel is a firm favourite with single travellers and families from all over the world and is the best hostel in town.
