Twins in our twin room!! Seemed like too good an opportunity to miss to show off our newly decorated twin room. Thanks to our lovely guests Luke and Jacob for playing along with our silly antics 😀 #twinning #lochnessbackpackers #lochness #scottishhostels #scottishhighlands

The woods by the hostel were looking gorgeous this weekend - wild garlic and bluebells as far as the eye can see. And what an incredible smell! Wild garlic pesto all round tonight 😋 #lochness #lochnessbackpackers #foraging #springinthehighlands

I have tried for years to get a good picture of a Highland cow and I’m about ready to give up! These gorgeous, infamously timid fluffballs just won’t pose for me! I’m an awful photographer... But the good news is we always have a notice up in reception telling guests where they can find some Highland cows locally - these are just a few minutes’ walk from the hostel. If you can get a better picture than me, please share! 🤣 #heilancoo #terriblephotographer #babyhighlandcow #lochnessbackpackers #scottishhighlands @scottishhostels

We recently got a piano in the bar, but our resident pianists’ skills ain’t up to much. If you play, come and stay and save us! We have guitars too... #lochnessbackpackers #scottishhostels #drumnadrochit #pianolovers
