Ideal for walkers
Clean, comfortable and well-equipped hostel. Ideal for WHW walkers. Close to the village but in a pleasant spot by the river. Tea and coffee provided.

Great location and facilities, clean and warm, kept in good order by dedicated and friendly staff. It was great talking with the manager and learning a bit of the history of the hostel and town. Also good resupply at the COOP and plenty of fab eating options - we tried the Bothy and Highland Gathering, both excellent food and again a welcoming attitude. Dave & Julie Nov 24

Good hostel but a bit dated. Clean and friendly staff. Great location. Room didn’t even have a table to put things down on, which seems small but the room was just really impractical. I would stay again but they need to put a bit more thought into their rooms.

El personal es atento y amable, la cocina y comedor para compartir están limpias y bien equipadas.
No me gusto que la habitación era excesivamente austera, una sola silla, nada de armario o estanterías mas allá de unas perchas, en el aseo ni siquiera había donde dejar el neceser.

It’s a nice stop for backpackers along the journey. It’s in a small town with not a lot to do

We stayed in one of the hostel rooms. While I appreciate the people offering affordable places for young people with less disposable incomes to enjoy the west highland highway, our experience with the stay was pretty bad. The toilet was heavily infested with mold to the point that a mushroom grew out of shower. The whole room had a very moldy smell because of that. Additionally there wasn’t any hot water available for the shower after 9pm which is quite inconvenient after a long walk through the Scottish Highlands. Also there wasn’t any internet connection through their WiFi. The kitchen however does have an extensive collection of utensils. The beds were also alright.

Superb little hostel if you're doing the West Highland Way or just looking for a bed for the night.The room is yours at a very reasonable price,even if your a solo traveller,so no bunking up with a stranger or having to buy all the bunks to have sole occupancy. Added bonus of en suite shower/bathroom.My room was small with 3 single bunks,bedding provided and very comfortable.Velux window.A bit noisy with other guests and creaky floorboards but no major issue.Friendly staff.I didn't make use of the communal kitchen/dining area or the wifi.Glamping pods and small campground also available.Co-op store and places to eat all within a few mins walk. A truly wonderful stay!
