Description

Because the building used to be a hotel, Pitlochry Backpackers has a lovely and luxurious atmosphere and now is one of Scotland's best hostels. It's such a relaxing place to stay and unwind in, with its big, cosy lounge, pool table and comfy sofas. You might only think you're staying one night but you'll end up staying three or four, or more – it's that kind of place. But best of all it's literally a stroll away from the beautiful highland country-side – in just 5 minutes you can be at a tranquil loch-side with views through the trees to the hills above this gorgeous highland town. There are many wonderful walks to take to waterfalls, along rivers, through ancient forests, or up Ben Vrackie (the hill above the town) – these walks all start from the hostel door! The area is dotted with castles and ancient standing stones all within easy reach.
Perthshire is also a big centre for adventure activities, including white-water rafting, canoeing etc, if you're up for it - or hire a bike at reception and get exploring – there's some fantastic trails. Our friendly receptionists will point you in the right direction if you have any queries.
We have a choice of rooms – dormitory (between 4 and 8 beds), twin and double rooms.
