Glenbrittle Youth Hostel

Glenbrittle Youth Hostel is a simple, rustic property located at the foot of the spectacular Cuillin Ridge. It provides budget multi-share accommodation as well as private family rooms. The hostel has an open plan self-catering kitchen and dining area. It is equipped with a drying room and a homely shared living room adorned with old photographs of the surrounding area. There are plenty of books and games as well as a guitar for the evenings. Glenbrittle Youth Hostel has a small shop which sells basic food items and other essentials, including ice-cream!

Glenbrittle Youth Hostel is set in rugged scenery, just over a mile from the beach it is also close to the magical fairy pools. The hostel has a long tradition of providing a base for walkers and climbers to tackle the famous Cuillin. For the ambitious mountaineer the Skye Munros and the Cuillin Ridge will provide the right playground. For a less strenuous pace there are coastal and low-level walks for all abilities and weather conditions, wildlife to watch, archaeological sites and geology to explore. The Talisker Distillery is about 7 miles from the Youth Hostel.
