Inverness Youth Hostel 4 stars

Inverness

Just 10 minutes’ walk from Inverness Rail Station, Inverness Youth Hostel offers free private parking and bicycle storage.

Culloden Battlefield and its visitor centre can be reached after a 10-minute drive. The banks of Loch Ness and the country village of Dores are both a 20-minute drive away. Urquart Castle is within 30 minutes’ drive of Inverness Youth Hostel. I always stay here when I visit Inverness and have never been disappointed. The place is always clean and the facilities are very good. It's not right in town, but only a short walk. The staff are always friendly and helpful and Iwas able to take advantage of a promotion of stay 3 nights and pay for 2. Can't go wrong with that when you're on a budget
