Hostel Loch Ness Backpackers Lodge
Coiltie Farmhouse Lewiston, Drumnadrochit, IV63 6UJ, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
We had the best stay and were treated like proper guests at this family run hostel. We were upgraded as soon as we arrived to a larger room away from a noisy group. We spent the night chatting to Patrick at the bar with informative suggestions on Whiskys we'd like. It was a memorable stay.
United KingdomOutstanding staff Clean Very good facilities Well located, in a quiet area
United KingdomThe person in charge - Patrick - was very friendly and helpful. He was quick to offer any help as well as advise on the nearby area. The site itself was a decent, standard youth hostel although I didn't get to see much of it given the COVID situation. Each dorm had it's own bathroom.
United KingdomVery nice location, nice amenities lovely bar and the owner was very friendly and welcoming.
United KingdomWe were so comfortable we overslept! Patrick (the landlord) is friendly and chatty and made us feel really welcome. Lovely warm atmosphere. If we come back to the great glen again we'll definitely stay again. :)
United KingdomThe hostel is in a very sweet little village next to the Loch Ness, perfect location for adventuring round the area. The host was great and made us feel very welcome and at home.
United KingdomAbsolutely fantastic place, rooms cosy and clean, staff were exceptional + extremely friendly and helpful. Location is great close to fort William and some amazing places to eat out. Bar within the hostel as well which was an added bonus.
United KingdomA friendly hostel in a peaceful part of the village. Great advice on walks and things to do in the local area. They have done a great job in adjusting for covid and making it a safe environment. On-site bar is a nice feature. Will hope to return!
United KingdomAmazing hosts, very hospitable and I love their passion for travel and beer😋. It is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in...very warm, charming, in a quite area. Everything is spotless and everywhere you turn there are sanitation points☺️. Perfect location... especially for those who are on the Great Glen Way. Loved it. Definitely will come back.
RomaniaWould definitely recommend the Loch ness backpacker Lodge. A nice welcome at the end of the day was Patrick's superb hospitality and the good selection of craft beers he stocked at the bar was great. Hope to come back sometime
