Fans can hire Scottish hostels to recreate The Traitors

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 11:12 · Archive

Hostelling Scotland is offering groups the chance to hire private youth hostels and recreate the BBC game show.

Hostelling Scotland has launched the Turret Experience through its Rentahostel scheme, allowing groups to hire entire youth hostels in the Scottish Highlands and stage their own version of the BBC game show The Traitors. The package includes themed props: cloaks for designated Traitors, tartan shawls, shields, chalkboards, picture frames, a Traitors board game and a Claudia Winkleman-inspired wig. Groups can use these to organise games featuring secret roles, round-table discussions and banishments.

Available locations include Rowardennan Lodge on the eastern shores of Loch Lomond, Braemar, Cairngorm Lodge, Ratagan on the banks of Loch Duich and Torridon on the NC500. Bookings are available between November 2026 and March 2027.

Margo Paterson, chief executive of Hostelling Scotland, said the initiative followed strong audience interest in the show's Scottish locations. She noted that whilst hiring an entire castle was unrealistic for most groups, the scheme offered 'the same dramatic Highland setting without the huge price tag'. The Celebrity Traitors finale attracted an average of 11.23 million live viewers, the most-watched episode of the celebrity spin-off series, which was filmed at Ardross Castle.
