Property Description

Set in rugged scenery at the foot of the Cuillin Ridge, Glenbrittle Youth Hostel is just over a mile from the beach and close to the magical fairy pools and the famous Talisker Distillery. Eagles can often be spotted in the skies above.

This homely hostel has a long tradition as a base for walkers and climbers, offering guests mixed gendered dorm rooms many have mountain views and all are available to book as private rooms. Although none of the rooms are en-suite, there are ample shower and washroom facilities.

Opt for a wee breakfast served in the dining room or take advantage of the modern, well-equipped self-catering kitchen. The hostel is licensed and guests can relax with a local craft beer or glass of wine in the comfortable mountain-facing lounge after a hard day on the hills.

Other facilities include a laundry, large drying room, public phone and secure bike storage for up to 10 bikes. Basic provisions, including frozen ready meals, confectionery and soft drinks are available to purchase at reception. Due to the hostel's remote location, there's no WiFi and very limited mobile signal.

Great stay for 3 nights. Staff were super friendly and made me feel.at home. Very clean and tidy. Obviously there are issues with the road surface near the fairy pools. Which are downright dangerous. Which is a shame. But cannot fault the hostel, what a lovely place to stay

A great stay in this hostel. I would have liked to have seen more clothing hooks and maybe an extra counter top in the ladies shower room. The water bottle emptied quickly without being replaced too often, maybe and extra water bottle would be good. Access to ‘pay by the hour’ internet would be beneficial to those far away from home. Otherwise a really great hostel, extremely comfortable, clean and friendly. Absolved my stay. Thank you!

Maybe staff could encourage people to be aware of lights in the dorms. (Switching them on when people are sleeping)
