Fantastic hostel with friendly
down to earth staff. Myself and 9 of my friends stayed for 2 nights as a base for
climbing Ben Nevis. The rooms were clean & the beds comfortable. There is a nice tv
area as well as a quiet lounge and kitchen area. The staff were very friendly and we had a
great laugh. Ten out of ten- HostelWorld Guest

I would gladly
recommend Chase
the Wild Goose
to anybody who
is looking for
reasonably
priced
accommodation
in the Fort
William area.
It is very
clean and well
maintained.
Quaint touches
such as an
honesty box to
pay for
breakfast make
it all the more
charming.

Very Nice
Hostel
We stayed in
this hostel
when trekking
the West
Highland Way.
Accommodation
was very good,
clean and
affordable.
Most important
was the staff,
they were very
friendly and
pleaseant. We
look foward to
staying in the
near
future.

Wonderful Place
to Stay and
Socialise
I stayed here a
few weeks ago
with a group of
friends for a
few nights. We
climbed Ben
Nevis the first
day which was
an experience
and a half. The
hostel was a
great base for
us, clean,
great
facilities and
met some great
people with
similar
interests. The
female member
of staff was
particularly
helpful and
went out of her
way to make
sure we had a
great time. She
also
recommended a
fantastic wee
place to go to
for scottish
music in the
town 'skipinish
ceilidh house'
which we went
to and enjoyed
muchly. All in
all would
definitely go
back to Fort
William and
would recommend
this hostel to
anyone who is
going to
explore the
area. Only bad
side was the
midges!!

The Hostel is
awesome... it
offers peace
and tranquil of
the highlands,
mixed with a
taxi into town
if you fancy
trying out the
nightlife. The
staff are
extremely
welcoming and
nice to talk
to. Regular
BBQ's when we
went, which was
brilliant. It's
a MUST go if
you are wanting
to Hostel it in
Fort William. I
have stayed in
many Hostels
and i must
honestly say
this one is one
of the best i
have stayed at.

STARS!

"Packed
with
friendliness,
home-like
and
character.
If you're
looking for
something
fancy, this
isn't
exactly the
place to
go.
However, if
you fancy a
place where
you'll be
encouraged
to meet
other
travellers,
relax and
have a
laidback
time, make
sure you
visit this
place. When
I'm in Fort
William, I
would stay
here
again!" |

Here's
something about our hostel inn
Scotland:
|
|
When Columba crossed the sea
from Ireland to settle on the
small island of Iona off the
West Coast of Scotland about
1500 years ago he would
probably have understood well
enough what was meant to
'Chase The Wild
Goose'. The Celtic
people with whom he lived and
walked had a deep appreciation
of the natural environment, on
which they relied for food,
water, shelter, safety and
wellbeing. They sought a
unique relationship with their
environment, intertwined
physically and spiritually,
with the natural and
super-natural. Until
Columba, the Celtic People of
these shores had failed to
grasp the deeper meaning and
purpose of Life. But he
lead them and guided them along
their way...
'Chase The Wild
Goose' began for us
in the Summer of '97, when some
close friends were meeting in a
little sunlit garden, in the
little village of Alva in
Clackmannanshire, somewhere
near the big city of Stirling,
in the lea of the Ochil
Hills. That Summer
followed the Spring when all
our dreams appeared to be
dashed on the rocks. But
Hope lead us into sunshine and
our dreams began again to
spring to
life...
At
'Chase The Wild Goose
Hostel' we aim to
provide simple shared
accommodation where you
can meet with like-minded
people, perhaps share a
meal with them, talk or
even walk with them for a
while. We hope you
can find courage to try
something new. We
hope you can rest awhile
for refreshment of body
and spirit. We hope
you can experience that
unique relationship with
your environment,
intertwined physically
and spiritually, with the
natural and
super-natural. We
hope you can grasp the
deeper meaning and
purpose of Life. We
hope your dreams can
again spring to
life...
If you want to discover more of
what lies behind the name of
'Chase The Wild Goose'
then come and stay with us, and
we will help you along your
way...
Meantime, please tell all
your friends, family,
colleagues, teachers, lovers,
everyone about our new hostel,
and tell them to check our
website. If you wish to
guess what the meaning of the
'Wild Goose' is, please email
us ..!
