Situated on the banks of Loch Lomond, our cosy self-catering bunkhouse offers excellent accommodation along the West Highland Way. We can accommodate up to 13 people at a reasonable price for up to a week, making Balmaha Bunkhouse a great base for families and small groups.

Our bunkhouse has four bedrooms, two shared bathrooms, a common room with kitchen and laundry facilities, a small drying room, and outdoor seating.
