“Cabins provide a unique self-catering experience here in the Highlands, and the Bothy Bar, with its solid fuel stove, is a welcome touch after a day on the West Highland Way. I think you'll find the hearty breakfast sets you up for adventure-and the dog-friendly approach ensures that no member of the family is left behind. It's the kind of place where engagement with the local community seems genuine, and that's a plus.”

The hotel is conveniently close to the final stage of the West Highland Way. Breakfast was divine. The staff were polite and professional. I especially enjoyed my time at the Bothy Bar. The meals there were scrumptious. It really was a feast for the senses!!!
The entrance definitely needs more care, as the area is a bit overgrown.
