Highland Basecamp in Lochaline: Photos and Reviews

Each room includes a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a private entrance. The Twin Room features underfloor heating with individual controls, wide bunk beds, and views of Loch Aline. Ground-floor units offer sea and lake views from the room and outdoor seating area.

Guests have access to a sun terrace, picnic area, and outdoor furniture with panoramic views. The shared lounge and TV area provide a space to relax, while bicycle parking is available. Fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and key access are installed, with express check-in and private check-in/out offered.

The shared kitchen is double-equipped allowing multiple guests to cook simultaneously, with freezer meals and an honesty shop for forgotten supplies. A well-stocked kitchen includes multiple ovens, and guests can prepare meals using food from the nearby shop. The Whitehouse restaurant next door offers dining but is often booked; the honesty shop provides backup options.

Canoeing, hiking, cycling, diving, and snorkelling are available from the hostel. The hostel arranges boat trips to see sea eagles, and staff can fill air tanks for scuba divers. Located 99 km from Oban Airport, the hostel is a short walk from the Mull ferry at Fishnish.

Staff provide helpful advice on local recovery services and power outages, as seen during Storm Amy. The hostel offers a drying room for wet gear and underfloor heating for comfort. Honesty-based payments for food and a self check-in process simplify stays.
