Ratagan Youth Hostel

I stayed two nights and had a wonderful time, the manager was super nice and helpful, the room was cosy and every bed had its own charger and night light, we even had a sink in the room which was great for brushing your teeth. The shower was great, good water pressure and really quick to get warm/hot. The kitchen was quite large, clean, organised and well equipped and the communal dining area very nice and comfy. All in all a fantastic hostel in an absolutely beautiful location, would definitely recommend! :)

Nice crispy clean covers, very comfy mattresses and 2 great pillows on each bunk in the dorm. Big kitchen, nice dining and living areas, good selection of guidebooks and novels to read, location and view from out front incredible. Tom a very nice host. Good facilities like dinner and breakfast provided if needed. On this visit the hot water in the kitchen was lukewarm but there is boiling water on tap too. The showers and toilets were spotless.

Fantastic youth hostel in an amazing setting - right on a loch. Great for views and option to swim - but make sure you pack the midge spray! The reception team has well stocked bar, fantastic drying room for soaking wet motorbike gear. The rooms were good with comfy beds - we booked a room with 10 beds (5 x bunk beds)

We stayed here for a night this week with the kids whilst exploring Skye. Its a proper old school hiking hostel, but I think this is probably the most scenic YHA you could ever stay at. The views are stunning in every direction and it has a lovely outdoor space to sit and look out over the water (we were lucky enough with the weather to allow us to do this). The location is ideal as a base for exploring Skye. The rooms were basic but the beds were really comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and the dining room was large enough for everyone. It has a nice lounge, although it was a bit on the quiet side for our kids as there was some very tired hikers chilling out and we didn't want to disturb the peace. The best thing about this hostel (apart from the stunning location) was the staff. They were both incredibly welcoming, really knowledgeable about the area and gave us some great tips on what to do on Skye. They were great hosts and made us feel at home.

Amazing location with stunning views and direct access to the loch. It’s a really well looked after hostel with really well equipped kitchen, nice dining space and a cozy relaxing room. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well looked after. The manager was excellent, helpful and knowledgeable about the local area snd mountains. Best hostel is the uk.

I absolutely LOVED my two day stay here. Thank you Stewart for all of your coffee and visit recommendations, as well as your attention and care for the hostel. I hope the future guests treat you well!! I would definitely love to come back for longer.

Loved it! Spotlessly clean. Hyper efficient friendly staff. Amazing location. Great cycling! (Beware the hill up behind Ratagan though!) Great Hill walking. Fab long weekend. Did some plein air painting to chill.

The perfect place for a comfy stay while on your mountain adventure. Tom was a kind and gracious host who offered help at every opportunity. His recommendations were our most memorable experiences. Happy and stoked customers :)
