If en-suite is what your after then en-suite is what you’ll get here at Torran Bay Hostel. Just because you’re in the Highlands of Scotland on the banks of the stunning Loch Awe doesn’t mean you have to leave all luxuries behind.
The area around Torran Bay has an impressive history with many ancient and medieval historical sites nearby – stone circles, cairns, castles – many free to access. The local church has a fascinating collection of medieval grave-slabs and a visit to Dunadd Fortress where the early Scottish Kings were crowned is a must.
