Glamping, Hostels and Bunkhouses in the Outer Hebrides

If you are seeking somewhere simple to lay your head, then look no further than one of the many hostels and bunkhouses located on our islands. Or if you are looking for a bit more exclusive luxury, then Glamping is your answer.

Providing basic accommodation, the hostels and bunkhouses in the Outer Hebrides are a great choice for travellers on a budget, and offer an exciting opportunity to meet with likeminded visitors as well as providing the perfect base for your island explorations.

The hostels and bunkhouses of the Outer Hebrides are housed in a wide range of buildings – from traditional thatched cottages a stone’s throw from the sea shore, to converted schoolhouses and steadings set within the islands’ crofting communities. From Lewis and Harris to Uist, B arra accommodation providers in the Outer Hebrides are waiting for you with a warm and friendly island welcome.

With everything from self catering cooking facilities to onsite cafes and visiting wardens to shops selling knitwear, the hostels and bunkhouses located across the Outer Hebrides offer affordable accommodation with a unique twist.

If you are looking for something a wee bit more luxurious. You love the idea of camping, but can’t quite give up your home comforts, the Outer Hebrides is a Glampers paradise these days, with lots of quirky places to stay adding a wee bit of luxury to your customary camping experience.

What could be better – an en-suite in your “tent”, a warm comfortable bed after a hard days sightseeing (or doing), and a glass of your favourite beverage outside as you gaze at the stars.

With lots of Glamping opportunities in the Western Isles, these can come in the form of camping pods, Sheppard huts, Wigwams© and Yurts.

Find the perfect place and remember, quality comes assured because listed here are many businesses who have signed up to Outer Hebrides Tourism Members' Charter or been graded by VisitScotland. (Look out for the Outer Hebrdes Tourism Member and Visit Scotland grading icons on accommodation listings).

NB The Check Availability button in the Plan your Trip section has access to some but NOT ALL accommodation businesses. Please contact listings directly for availability.
