Campfires friends at lochside

There’s no better end to a day of outdoor adventure than an evening spent around a campfire or firepit. Stories shared to the crackle of the fire and the heady aroma of wood smoke. Sausages and marshmallows toasted as the star filled night sky descends. These are the things that memories are made of. All the independent hostels below have firepits for you to use or space for your campfire.

Accommodation with Campfires


    There’s no place like by the campfire or firepit. Whether with friends or soon-to-be friends, there are few better places to swap stories and reflect on the day than sitting around the fire pit or the campfire. Gathering firewood is a great activity, children love it.  Even better there’s the satisfaction of cooking some sausages or toasting marshmallows on the fire you have just made.  School and scout or brownie groups often make good use of the very same firepits. Using the opportunity of the hostels’ campfire for bushcraft lessons, learning how to start fires and safely put them out.  Campfires are the perfect way to extend a fun-filled day, providing focus and warmth as the evening turn to night.

    Why stay at a hostel with campfires?

    Campfires are a great way of bringing people together. Even if you are total strangers a night around the fire will make you feel like you’ve been friends forever. They provide a focal point for people to gather and be hypnotized by their dancing flames no matter if you are young or old, fires fascinate us all.
