    Well-equipped bunkhouse, clean facilities, comfortable beds, stunning views of the Sound of Mull and Loch Aline, ideal for exploring the beautiful surrounding area.

    The location was perfect for epic hikes and exploring Lochaline. We had a blast hiking around Ardtornish Castle and the views were #goals. The atmosphere at the hostel was super chill and we met some rad people. Definitely recommend for young adventure seekers!

    The only thing we wished for was a cool party spot nearby. It would have been awesome to have a lively bar or club to hang out and dance the night away.

    The staff were incredibly friendly and check-in/check-out was a breeze. The room was clean and comfortable, with the added bonus of having our own toilet and shower. The communal kitchen was spacious and well-equipped. The location was perfect, with a convenient shop and community cafe nearby. As a family, we loved the affordable price and the convenience of being close to the ferry.

    Felt so relaxed, no complaints.

    The value for money at this place was excellent and the room was clean and comfortable. The location was great, close to a fantastic shop and community cafe. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

    The self check-in process was incredibly convenient, especially when arriving late. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with thoughtful furnishings like shelves and sideboards for each bed. The kitchen was well organized and had everything we needed to prepare meals. The communal areas, both inside and outside, provided a nice space to relax and meet other guests.

    The location of the hostel was a bit inconvenient if you missed the ferry, as it required a long drive on narrow one-lane roads. The lack of soundproofing was a downside, as we could hear other guests getting ready in the morning.

    I enjoyed the activities in Lochaline, like windsurfing, diving, and snorkeling. And guess what? Free WiFi and parking! Woohoo!

    Oh, and the nearest airport was just a little inconvenient. Big thumbs up!

    Our stay at Highland Basecamp was lovely! Conveniently located near the ferry terminal, it was the perfect place to stay for a few days before or after visiting the Isle of Mull. The self check-in process was convenient, especially for late arrivals. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished, with plenty of storage space. The kitchen was well-organized and the communal areas were nice to hang out in. The owners were friendly and helpful, making our stay even better. We will definitely recommend this hostel to our friends and will return on our next Scotland adventure!

    We recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hotel is excellent, especially if you plan on catching the ferry. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with thoughtful furnishings like shelves and sideboards for each bed. The communal kitchen is well-equipped and the supermarket next door is very convenient.

    The walls are paper thin, so you can hear everything from the rooms next to yours.

    We have stayed at Highland Basecamp for two years in a row and plan to book again next year. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and everything we needed was readily available at the neighboring shop/post office. The self-catering facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and laundry room, provided us with flexibility and convenience. The staff at Highland Basecamp truly cared about our needs and made sure our stay was enjoyable. The location of Lochaline and the surrounding Morvern Peninsula is stunningly beautiful, offering plenty of things to see and do. We highly recommend Highland Basecamp for a warm and welcoming experience in the West.

    Nothing, no complaints at all. 👌🏼

    I had a fantastic experience at Highland Basecamp. The ride from Glenfinnan west to Strontian and down to the Basecamp was absolutely stunning, one of the most scenic routes of our Scotland trip. The staff were friendly and helpful, allowing us to check in early and offering a large drying room for our motorbike gear. The room itself was cozy and comfortable, with bunk beds and a surprisingly spacious wet room. The kitchen facilities were well-equipped and the lounge area was comfortable. We also enjoyed the outdoor seating with beautiful views. Despite being in the West Coast Midge territory, we didn't encounter any of them during our outdoor time. it was one of the best accommodations on our trip.

    Not obvious to find

    From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with such a warm welcome that it instantly made us feel at home. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze, and our room was not only spotlessly clean but also incredibly comfortable. Having our own private toilet and shower was an added bonus. The kitchen area was spacious and had everything we needed, making self-catering a breeze. The location was fantastic, with a FANTASTIC shop and community cafe nearby. our stay at this accommodation exceeded all expectations and we highly recommend it as a base for exploring the breathtaking surroundings.

The self check-in system was hassle-free, especially when arriving late. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with thoughtful furnishings that made organizing belongings easy. The well-equipped kitchen and nearby supermarket made self-catering a breeze. The communal areas, both indoors and outdoors, provided a great space to relax and socialize with other guests. I highly recommend taking a walk around Loch Aline to Ardtornish Castle for stunning views. The friendly and helpful staff made our stay even more enjoyable. I had a wonderful experience at Highland Basecamp and would definitely return for my next Scotland adventure.

    Located in a stunning area with scenic views, this hostel is ideally placed for catching the ferry. The rooms, although small, are cozy and comfortable, with a larger than expected shower. The communal kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. Additionally, the staff is friendly and the check-in process is straightforward.
