Crianlarich Youth Hostel is a 4-star modern bungalow-style building nestled below a forest in the Strathfillan Glen. This hostel is just over an hour's drive from Stirling and provides a great base for exploring the northern area of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The hostel offers private rooms, dorms, a self-catering kitchen, a lounge and dining area. There is also a drying room, access for wheelchair users and ample parking. The village of Crianlarich is the halfway point on the West Highland Way. Twenty Munros (hills) dominate the landscape, including Ben More and Ben Lui. There are several woodland walks nearby and trout fishing permits can be bought locally.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.

    The hostel is easy to get to, and roomy. The kitchen was well used, and the rail station, coop, pub and food, were right next door. We all slept well.
