The Backpackers Lodge, the oldest original croft house in Mallaig, offers a homely base from which you can explore the Inner Hebrides, the famous white sands of Morar and the remote peninsula of Knoydart.
Mallaig is a working fishing village with all the excitement of the boats landing. You can see the seals playing in the harbour waiting for the boats, whale and dolphin watching trips are available from the harbour. The hostel provides excellent budget accommodation with two rooms each with six beds, full central heating and fully equipped kitchen/common room with free WiFi. Scottish Tourist Board three star. All hot water and heating provided by renewable energy.
On site is the Tea Garden Café (open from 9am to 6pm March to November and 9am to 6.30pm June,July and August) serving quality meals, snacks, speciality coffee and home baking. See website for pictures of the restaurant and the beautiful countryside around.

Take a day trip to the Inner Hebrides!
Sheenas Backpackers Lodge is the perfect base from which to explore the Inner Hebrides. I highly recommend taking day trips to some of the Inner Hebrides while staying in Mallaig. The isles are beautiful and isolated, and filled with true artful Scottish culture! Pebbled streets and sandy paths, leading to quaint little museums or gorgeous undisturbed sandy beaches and coves!
