We love the hostel location because it is outside the city, yet only 10 mins drive and 30 mins walk to the centre. There are lovely country walks along the canal and on Banavie Hill. BEST OF ALL, the whole area is absolutely superb for walking and climbing. Ben Nevis, the UKs highest mountain, and the Nevis Range dominate the skyline.
