Better than expected
RichardGorgeous setting, helpful staff, excellent food. Only complaint is that we had to sit outside in the rain waiting to check in. Webpage says the lounge is available to guests who arrive before 4:00 pm check in time.
carolBetter than I thought it would be
JulienStunning place by the lake, the hostel is great with lots of space and comfortable beds.
CharlotteThe staff was terrific! The setting was beautiful. And the rice was very reasonable.
JoanneGorgeous location.
Fabulous location. Reception staff were welcoming and friendly. Comfortable bed. Shower could have been a little more powerful. Evening meal wasn't brilliant but overall good value for the price.
jakeGreat staff and a good stop along the Al west Highland Way. Can’t beat the location right on Loch Lomond! (Be sure to get in for a swim!). Would have 5 stars, but the showers were pretty rough.
