A beautiful place. The train from Harry Potter passes right under the window. The kitchen is well equipped, there are plenty of burners, pots, plates and cutlery. Plus a coffee brewer. Behind the railroad crossing (2 minutes from the house) is a beautiful view of the mountains and the lake. I would definitely recommend.

I was extremely comfortable at the Black Sheep bunkhouse and felt very welcome. All parts of the accommodation including the drying room and kitchen were immaculately clean. I could cook in the kitchen and slept very well in the quiet surroundings, so I could really enjoy the activities I took part in during the day. Thank you.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I can only recommend this hostel! It was clean and modern, I wasn’t worried about safety and the staff were very polite and helpful. The location was beautiful, but we did have to take a taxi as it is pretty far from Fort William and the buses weren’t running at the times we needed them to. Overall pleasantly surprised and would definitely return again!

    Great location and super clean hostel. While it was by no means cheap as far as hostels go it was in a truly beautiful location and immaculately clean. We were two adults and a 17 yo and we slept very comfortably in a four bunk room. I was also surprised at how comfy the bunk beds were. We arrived late and were lucky enough to grab last call for dinner at the bar/restaurant just 1/4 mile south of the hostel. Again, location location location.

    the atmosphere, from the friendly welcome to the décor and facilities, everything was beyond my expectations. This hostel is a great way to travel solo while meeting others. The facilities were also very clean and the kitchen well equipped for cooking. The staff and volunteers were also really friendly and all over I had a fab time. The dormitory also was very safe for a solo traveller. It really was a home away from home vibe.
