We are delighted to have re-opened our doors to offer you all an affordable, inclusive and sociable environment.
Hostelling still isn’t entirely back to normal – we are doing our very best to ensure that those of you who choose to stay with us feel safe whilst doing so.
Due to the extensive cleaning required during these times we ask that all guests vacate the building between 12noon and 5pm.
This allows us to fully ventilate the hostel and enables our cleaners to work safely.
Thank you for your understanding
We have introduced multiple safety measures as a result of carrying out a detailed Covid Risk Assessment. If you would like us to send you a copy, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Set in the heart of beautiful rural Perthshire, Pitlochry Backpackers Hotel makes a terrific first stop for any trip into the Highlands. All the comforts of a hotel plus the ambience and facilities of a hostel in a brilliant central location.
Pitlochry Backpackers is an old Victorian hotel, bursting with character. We offer a range of rooms – Dormitory (4-8 beds), Twin and Double rooms (Our Twin & Double rooms are all En-Suite) and our rooms have been recently refurbished. Our comfy beds come complete with bedding so there is no need to worry about carrying a sleeping bag and our self catering kitchen has everything you will need to prepare your favourite dinner.
It’s such a relaxing place to stay and unwind after a great day out exploring. Its big sociable lounge boasts a free pool table, comfy sofas, free tea, coffee & hot chocolate, free WiFi, musical instruments, games, book swap and loads of info on the local area. It’s a great place to meet like minded people and although you might think you’re only staying one night, you’ll end up staying three or four – it’s that kind of place!
Best of all it’s literally a stroll away from the beautiful highland countryside. In just 5 minutes you can be at a tranquil loch-side with views through the trees to the hills above this gorgeous highland town. There are many wonderful walks to take; to waterfalls, along rivers, through ancient forests, or up Ben Vrackie (2760 feet, the hill above the town) These walks all start from the hostel’s front door! The area is also dotted with distilleries, castles and ancient standing stones all within easy reach.
If you are seeking adventure, Perthshire is the perfect area for outdoor activities that include white-water rafting, canoeing, bungee jumping, mountain biking, canyoning, quad biking, horse riding, fishing, golf and even sphereing if you’re up for it! Or you might want to simply get your boots on and get exploring.
The Pitlochry staff are a friendly bunch who know the surrounding area like the backs of their hands and are willing to help so don’t be shy! Come and have a chat at reception and we can make sure you make the most of your time in Pitlochry.
