After 2.5 days of walking we really appreciated the comfy communal seating areas for relaxation and rest.We also really loved the outside seating area,it was a sunny evening & we were able to eat our dinner outside.Also loved the convenience of the shop - it was great ye had everything.Staff were really friendly& helpful.The computers in the bedrooms was such a luxury and really useful to conveniently do some trip research.Thanks for such a great time :)

I really enjoyed my stay and would have no hesitation in recommending this hostel to all my hill walking friends. It is well placed and hills all around - will definitely go back there. Friendly hostel and its opened during the day. Noreen Whitelaw, Linlithgow Ramblers Association

We stayed at this hostel for one night enroute to the Outer Hebrides from Devon. We had booked our room before the whole hostel was booked to a group of young people, so being the only other guests were a little worried we might have a noisey night. However the group from 8 other countries were friendly, considerate and very quiet at night - a real joy to meet. The staff were helpful and the room and bathroom clean. All in all an extremely comfortable night's rest. Thank you

I stayed for one night when doing the Great Glen Way, meeting my wife there who spent two nights we and found the room a little small and quite cold. It was on the ground floorthough and right opposite a shower room with loo, so can't grumble too much. (Feet were killing me by the time I arrived!!) Kitchen facilities very good and the dining room and lounge area were very comfortable and clean/tidy.

Walking along the great glen way this was the best of 6 places we stayed. Very quiet (time of year) but very enjoyable stay. Could have been a bit closer to the boat pub haha

We waited 10 mins at reception before someone turned up eventually. Quite a homely hostel where you can buy provisions as no shop for miles. If you like to stay in a secluded spot then pretty ideal. The hostel was very cold-heard that the boiler was broken from a guest, would have been helpful to have been told this by the hostel and temporary heating made available. Good showers, decor a bit outdated and shabby but better downstairs. Nice tv area for guests and generally a pleasant stay.

Large party took over kitchen and at times no facilities available. Towel hire a great idea, saved the requirement to carry a towel on GGW.
