About

Sitting on the NC500 at the head of Upper Loch Torridon, this youth hostel is a popular base for hillwalkers, climbers and those simply wishing to relax and enjoy the surroundings and local wildlife.

Perfect for groups, families and outdoor enthusiasts, this purpose-built hostel offers a range of comfortable private rooms and spacious shared accommodation. None of the rooms are en-suite, but ample shower and washroom facilities are available.

Guests can opt for a wee breakfast served in the hostel’s large dining room or take advantage of the well-equipped self-catering kitchen. After a long day in the mountains, you can relax with a local ale, fine malt or glass of wine in one of the hostel’s comfortable lounges and enjoy the panoramic mountain views.

WiFi is free for all guests and other facilities include a large drying room, laundry and luggage store. Basic provisions, confectionery and soft drinks are available to purchase at reception.

The mighty mountain Liathach, with its two munros, spectacular pinnacles and one of the most challenging ridge walks in Scotland, towers above the hostel. Other activities in the area include clay pigeon shooting, archery, kayaking and mountain biking.

There’s onsite car parking for around 20 cars or 1 coach and a secure bike store for up to 20 bikes.

Torridon is a dog-friendly hostel. If you would like to book yourself and your dog into the hostel, please phone the hostel direct to check availability. There is a small charge of £7.50 per night for your dog when staying in our hostels.

The hostel is also available for exclusive private rental.

Really nice hostel! Huge kitchen and dining area and a cosy couch room with amazing views of the mountains. We were upgraded to a private twin room from our dorm booking because they were quiet (winter season) - so kind! This was our first stop along the NC500.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff were delightful and the shop at reception was extremely handy. Will definitely come back! Thanks to the staff for being so helpful and friendly.
