School groups love coming to Loch Ness
September 11th 2019
School groups of all ages love this comfortable 45 bed hostel. Perfectly situated on the Great Glen Way, within an easy walk of Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. Full or half board or self catering.
A wide variety of school groups stay at Loch Ness Backpackers each year. For instance two sets of 9-11 year old groups come every year to cycle the Great Glen Way. We also host a 10-day residential film school for 16-18 year olds each year, as well as a group of 12-14-year-olds this year who were completing a programme of study at nearby Aigas Field Centre. We can provide a public liability certificate. We are also very used to helping with planning school trips – we’re happy to help however we can. Schools also appreciate the quiet, safe location and the large park right next door to us for allowing students space to run around safely.
