Comfortable Stay Near the West Highland Way
comfortable bed self-service breakfast dog friendly
My room, a Single Room, had a very comfortable bed. A generous self-service continental breakfast was available. The communal area included a log burner. I found it very dog friendly. Dogs were present everywhere.
The shower and toilet were located one floor below my room. This was a minor inconvenience, especially late at night. More accessible facilities would improve the experience.

wonderful surprise, felt so welcomed
separate restrooms clean camper restrooms shower availability great feature
i noticed en suite restrooms provided for hotel guests and separate facilities for campers. the camper restrooms seemed clean. these were some of the best i encountered while camping in the uk. some restrooms had showers and others included toilets only. this meant we avoided waiting for a shower. this really was great.
one minor thing, the breakfast was not put out on two of my four mornings.

The staff was very friendly. I found the location to be quite good. The hotel provided great value for the money. The environment felt relaxed.
I found the room to be tiny. The hotel felt more like a campsite than a hotel. I had to ask the campers to be quiet as they were accessing the living room.
