The highlands can get a bit chilly but fear not Fort Williams Backpackers is always toasty with their open fire chugging away. Just what cold and tired adventurers will need after a day in the open air.

It has to be said that if there’s any room to be described as the heart of the hostel, it must be the living room. Here you’ll find the fellow travellers huddled round the fire swapping stories and recovering from their own excursions. Where there’s a log burner, or open fire you’re sure to find happy guests nearby and Fort William is no exception.

After a difficult few months things are starting to look up. We’re very happy to be able to now offer shared bedrooms with a maximum of 4 households sharing a room. With the social distancing dropping to 1m we will be able to reintroduce our communal areas providing social distancing is adhered to. Just a few short weeks after that from the 9th of August things will be looking a lot more normal, all restrictions are scheduled to be removed. From this date onward, we hope to offer you all an affordable, inclusive and sociable environment. We really can’t wait! Come for the mountains, lochs and views. Stay for the people, good times and memories. We’ll see you soon.

Surrounded by gorgeous mountain scenery, Fort William Backpackers is just the place for anyone wanting to have outdoor adventures deep in the Highlands. Afterwards, you can make the most of the lovely lounge and put your feet up, or wander down to one of the local pubs for a well deserved pint.
