Mallaig hostels

Some of the best Mallaig hostels are located just off the town’s central roundabout. Here, Mission Bunkhouse comes highly recommended by all accounts, due to its proximity to amenities and tourist landmarks. It’s across the street from Mallaig Train Station and a very short walk from the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry terminal. Shopping is equally convenient, as are the local eateries. If you prefer to self-cater, you can use the shared kitchen, and you’ll find fresh local produce at the co-op next door. The hostel is only a hundred yards or so from Mallaig Heritage Centre, where you can get all the tourist information you need to make the most of your stay.

If you’re looking for Mallaig hostels with room for the whole family, The Moorings Guesthouse is a good choice. It’s within easy walking distance of Mallaig town centre, and it’s also right on Mallaig Marina. You can enjoy your complimentary breakfast in the communal breakfast room, which looks out over the harbour of this old Irish fishing village. Nearby local landmarks include Lochaber Geopark, around a minute’s walk away, and Camusdarach Beach, about 3 miles (5 km) away. Some wonderful extra touches are added, like the binoculars in your room to fully appreciate the view and a complimentary decanter of whisky, for the adults to enjoy sundowners.

Solo travellers looking for budget Mallaig hostels will find Seaview Guesthouse a cost-effective option. A choice of breakfasts is included in the rate: you can have a traditional English or Irish breakfast or order from the a la carte menu, if you prefer. Free private parking is available on site, and you can use a safety deposit box to store valuables when you’re out and about; there are several bars and restaurants on the same block. You’ll have your own terrace with, as you would rightly expect, a sea view.
