I loved that this property (one of the oldest buildings in Callander) is run by a youth co-op helping locals. What a fantastic initiative.
But what this means is that you don't have access to anyone during your stay. The email before arrival was easy - building and room access info.
Our only suggestions are PLEASE fix the extraction system in the kitchen. The entire downstairs stinks. Please provide paper towel in the kitchen and please add parking info (around the back) to arrival info. Otherwise, we found this hostel to be small and cosy, beds comfortable and hot shower. Everything we needed.

Great Hostel
Stayed in one of the twin rooms. Very clean and comfortable - pretty much like a hotel. Amazing view of Ben Ledi out of the window. Secure bike storage, which was very welcome.

A lovely place to stay
The hostel is nestled into the charming village of Callander with a spectacular view of Ben Ledi. The hostel is immaculate and cozy. There is a full kitchen with a lot of care and intention put into recycling and composting. There is an ample and comfortable dining area with foosball table, books and some games. Our room was clean and comfortable with a small table, refrigerator and two bathrooms. We really enjoyed our stay in Callander.
