    Perfect place for one night. Got bunkbed n kids enjoyed it. 3 bathroom with wc were enough for 3 rooms in a cottage. Shared kitchen is also good to cook n make breakfast

    Glencoe's heart is a fantastic location, and the cabin is the perfect base for exploring it. It's clean, cozy, and has everything you need to feel right at home. The peaceful atmosphere is so relaxing, and there's a ton of great recommendations for things to do nearby.

    The road is v narrow, and google maps does a good job navigating you around it. However dint want go out too late in the evening as it gets pretty dark.

    Great view of the mountains from the front deck, making every morning coffee worth it. Would just want to lounge and sink in the Scottish vibes while chilling alongside the beautiful views.

    The only thing that comes to mind, and it's the same the world over. Although very well equipped, there were no scissors or tongs in the kitchen. Everything else was lovely.

    The caravan was perfect. After the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh and Glasgow the peace and quiet was so welcome. The duvet was lovely, felt like feather but it wasnt. Ive actually taken a photo of the label soni And the perfect spot for exploring. We ate at the pub up the road and drove into Fort William. I would say you do need a car unless you're mega fit. Everywhere is a drive away, but if you didn't want to go far there is plenty to explore on your doorstep.

    Could have booked the whole week instead of one night. Hey ho my bad.

    This place was AWESOME. The description does not do it justice. Better than it says. We had a large room in a stone built house. Sure we were in bunks but they were full size for adults and really well made - you get a heavy curtain on each bunk so if your travelling companion snores or if one wants the light on and the other doesn't, happy days, you have your own space. It was a longish walk to the pub but it was a walk through the woods in the valley of Glencoe which is stunning. A highlight for us. Happy sounds from the campsites in the valley, among them a lone piper. Iconic. Beautiful. And when we got there, what a brilliant pub! Friendly staff, food was nice. We had live traditional music in the boot bar. Some talented young people were playing, each one a gifted player. But oh man, that harp was something else. Melt your heart. Thank you Scotland and beautiful Glencoe.

    This is a lovely sized small hostel in the foot of Glen Coe. A fabulous base to explore Lochaber and the Ardnamurchan peninsula. You can expect a well equipped kitchen with around a maximum of 14 people sharing it. There is also 3 very modern and clean bathrooms. There is also a popular pub within 20 minutes walking distance with live music on the weekend.

    The heater was switching off at night which was making the whole cabin very cold.

    The location was very good if you are driving a car. It is a good walk from the A82 exit if you dont have a car. Very close to all the spots on A82 Location is very good for astrophotography
