Accommodation

Plodda Lodge

Plodda is one of TFL’s field bases. Set in the woods of Strathglass, Plodda has been renovated to accommodate our Work Week volunteers. It has solid fuel heating from a Rayburn stove, a shower-room, a well-equipped kitchen and large lounge. Sleeping accommodation for the group is in one large bunkroom. The surrounding woodland scenery is spectacular and can be easily accessed with one of the highlights being the 100-foot high Plodda Falls.

Allt Beithe Youth Hostel

The Glen Affric Youth Hostel at Alltbeithe is the most remote of the Scottish hostels and is set in stunning scenery. The Hostel has been renovated but it is still very simple. Power comes from wind-powered electricity and there are fuel-burning stoves heating the main building. There is a common room, large kitchen/dining room, bunkrooms and a shower. Be prepared to share the hostel with walkers passing through the glen. There will be a four mile walk between the car park and the accommodation at the beginning and end of the week.
