Imagine a summer camp for adults, but in a social hostel on Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands (so pack a rain jacket, just in case!)

Start your day by joining our group swim from our Loch Ness beach (yes, voluntarily), or a slow morning by the water with a perfect view for Monster-spotting.

Warm up with a fire each evening after a day of hiking (the world-famous Great Glen Way walking path starts on our doorstep), kayaking or chilling.

There’s always social activities at Lochside, every day and night:
Nature walks, Scottish dance parties, arts and crafts, pool tournaments, bonfires on the beach, games, yoga and so much more!

We’re located right on Loch Ness (30 seconds to the beach), surrounded by nature, but still well connected, with buses to Inverness, the Isle of Skye and Fort William stopping right outside.

Wanna cook, eat and drink? We’ve got you covered with our affordable £4 continental breakfast, a fully equipped kitchen, cold local beers, wine, snacks and frozen meals.

Whether you're hiking, canoeing, road tripping or backpacking, come join us to kickstart your ultimate Scottish Highland adventure!
