Glen Affric Youth Hostel offers budget multi-share accommodation but also offers two private rooms. This Eco-Hostel has a wind turbine and solar panels which provide electricity and warm water, it is heated by wood and coal fires and is so remote it has no refuse collection service; therefore everything you carry in must be carried back out when you leave.

Please note that there is no shop or mobile phone coverage at the hostel.
