Pleasantly surprised as this was my first stay in a hostel in over 30 years. Very quiet, very clean, very friendly check in host. While the location was beautiful and the views absolutely amazing, it was a bit of a climb for my poor husband who was lugging our bags, and a little difficult to find until we got some directions. Overall a great stay. Based on this experience, I would consider staying in more hostels in the future.Happy Traveller

Relaxed and friendly atmosphere in a traditional but very clean Hostel with all the facilities required. The stay was topped of by the extra mile the staff went to make sure I could have my breakfast earlier than planned before a long days cycle. Well done team Hostelling Scotland.Kenny

Two of us needed somewhere to stay prior to the Etape Caledonia. The hostel is in a great location (although the cycle back up the hill after the event was a challenge!) Good facilities and friendly staff.Etape cyclist

My husband and I cannot fault the location, facilities and welcoming staff at Pitlochry Youth Hostel. It is an old traditional building but has everything needed, including the bonus of en-suite rooms. We cycled in the area but have also walked and there is plenty to do whatever the weather.Anne

">Reasons to visit
Pitlochry sits in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. Easily accessible by train and bus, it's ideally situated for touring Highland Perthshire.
Set amidst hills, lochs and woodland, Pitlochry makes a superb base for outdoor enthusiasts wanting to explore the area's numerous walking and cycle routes.
The famous salmon ladder, Blair Castle, Blair Atholl Distillery and the Queen's View are not to be missed and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, known affectionately as the "Theatre in the Hills", offers a varied and exciting programme of events throughout the year.
Using the forest as a natural backdrop "The Enchanted Forest" in nearby Faskally Wood is a lighting show that is quite simply out of this world. Each October the autumn woodland is transformed into one of Scotland's premier light and sound experiences that dazzles and delights. Unmissable.
