Loch Ossian eco friendly youth hostel
One of the country's oldest youth hostels has recently had a £130,000 face lift and is now being advertised as one of the most eco friendly places to stay in the UK. The hostel in Loch Ossian, high up on the remote Rannoch Moor, near Fort William now boasts, amongst other things, wind and solar power, composting toilets, grey water and bat friendly paint. It can only add to the feeling of being at one with nature, with the surrounding countryside erupting with spectacular Corbetts and Munros. The hostel sleeps 20, and a bed will cost you around £13.50 per night. As with most youth hostels you can also rent out the entire building for you and your closest friends. Loch Ossian will only set you back £285 for a week, which split between 20 is not a bad deal for such an idyllic location.
