Charity run bunkhouse near Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Converted from a former school house, this 12 bed bunkhouse sits in an elevated position overlooking Loch Eil. Ideally situated on the A830 (Fort William to Mallaig) 10 miles west of Fort William and 33 miles east of Mallaig, the bunkhouse makes a perfect base for exploring this spectacular part of the Highlands. Climbing (Ben Nevis), skiing (Aonach Mor & Glencoe), mountain biking, walking etc are all within easy reach. The white sandy beaches of Arisaig and the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potter movies, are also a short drive away.

The bunkhouse is offered on an exclusive use basis to groups of up to 12. There are three bunk rooms sleeping 2, 4 & 6, 2 shower rooms/toilets and a good sized drying room. The communal kitchen/living area is linked to the bunkrooms by an uncovered walk way. Outside there's a delightful small garden which is managed for wildlife and plenty of parking.

All profits from the bunkhouse go directly to The High Life Highland Countryside Ranger Service charity. This means that with each stay, you’re actively supporting conservation projects and initiatives that help preserve the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Scottish Highlands.
