EmmaYoung couple - 8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 1,654 reviewsLocation, restaurant and dining area were all good, and the staff were all kind and helpful. It's an older building and a youth hostel, so by those standards it's doing a good job of upkeep. Bit of cobwebs and dust in the rooms and windows but otherwise ok. The bathrooms (sinks especially) need updating soon, but they function. The best part is the view and the lake in front, and the accessibility to the town.FSFamily with young children

ErinYoung couple - 8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 1,654 reviewsThe self catering area was very grubby and tired having to wash utensils before use ….we had stayed at The Torridon Youth Hostel previously which had been to a much higher standard. The lounge area was grubby tired and not comfortable because of that …fortunately because weather was good we were able to take food outside to eat as the dining area was not good at all. .RachelYoung couple
