What visitors say
Not great not terrible. You get what you book - It is a campsite with extra "glamping"-pods with a great location on the WHW. Cheapest option in town of you want to stay here. We booked one of those pods. Pods: If you are with two people the pods can be kinda small but that's fine. But there is no place for the rucksacks. You can stand in the middle and you get some amenities like a kettle, a microwave, a TV and a fridge. In my honest opinion - leave those (except for the kettle) out and make room for some stuff. But that's a personal opinion. The pods itself were mostly clean, the matresses you sleep on were not. Also it's super warm in the pots and the small window doesn't really help. Sleeping: You can bring your own bedding or you can rent some from them for 5£ each. It contains a sleeping bag, an inlay and a pillow. The last one is really not good. Toilets: As mentioned before it's a campsite. The showers were good, not the cleanest but nothing bad, also warm and lots of water. The toilets were really not great. I get you don't have any influence of how people leave the bathroom after their business but it was really not nice. Maybe two toilets for the gentleman for a full campsite is also a little under numbered. Extras There is a nice little outdoor kitchen and two drying rooms. Those are great. All in all For the price it's really okay. Nothing too bad or too great. For one night it's all you need.

Great hostel! I stayed in a room in the hostel while walking the West Highland Way, it was clean, the bedding was already put on by the host, and the en suite bathroom was great. Communal kitchen and dining area is incredibly well equipped, very friendly helpful feel from the hosts plus we met lots of other really nice walkers staying there. The drying room is absolutely amazing too. Highly recommend

We booked a glamping pod, under the impression that we would indulge in a luxurious experience with proper bedding and fancy amenities. Instead we got “welcomed” by a receptionist who didn’t wanna help us out and sleeping beds that we were supposed to approach with a clean “sleeping bed liner”. Sorry but for a glamping - which stands for glamourous camping- this is not acceptable. After a night of no sleep we can say we sadly all agree to not come back and are more than disappointed of the price-value-experience after a long day of hiking.
