“Good Value and Exciting Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Not the natural choice for a 2 night October holiday with 7 Adults and 7 Children you might say. It is essentially a stopover vanue for exponents of the West Highland Way and other hardy souls who don't mind wandering, cycling or hiking in the middle or knowhere.

There is a remoteness to this place that makes you wonder how long it would be before you started talking yourself and possibly other wild animals that live in the glens.

Anyway, the Inversnaid Bunkhouse is a converted church building that has plenty of room for families and single travellers alike. The rooms are clean and warm enough, though the sheets are a strange combination of a pillow case, bed sheet and sleeping bag. Ok if you are a peaceful sleeper. The showers are ok and toilets cleaned regularly. Possibly my favourite area is the lounge/bar/restaurant and games room/studio. The guys who work there open up all their gear for visitors and are not in the slightest bit precious about guests strumming guitars, bashing drums and using Lap-Tops. The TV is gubbed so forget X-Factor or Strictly. The food served is actually very good and not from freezer bags. These guys are very talented.

Overall this is a charismatic place in an absorbing and intoxicating location. The scenery towards Loch Lomond is the best that Scotland can offer and the view of Loch Katrine is something to behold. So, go, pack light and enjoy.... doing very little...near harldy anybody.

“a pleasant surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

the bunkhouse has a drying room for all your wet clothes and boots, very handy after a long hard day on the west highland way. lets start with bedrooms--- they are quite small but as most walkers are only there for one night, it does the job fine. after showers we went upstairs to the bistro for supper. we all expected a freezer to fryer meal, but it was a pleasant surprise to be proved wrong. the night we were there(9/10/11) the choices were chicken, roast beef and chilli for mains. the starters and puddings were very good also. a well stocked bar at reasonable prices is available. the staff are very good at their jobs, extremely polite and helpful. well done.

“Friendly staff and good food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

We were drenched by the time we got to Inversnaid - it rained all day on the West Highland Way so the drying room was very welcome. We were two couples - one elderly, one middle aged - and had two twin rooms - they were cleanish, small, but turned out to have rather uncomfortable beds with smelly pillows. The showers were good and hot and the evening dinner excellent with fairly priced drinks and a good atmosphere in the lounge early evening. Later the lounge was taken over by non-walking visitors who were noisy keeping several of us awake. The staff were friendly, especially Nikki and Aidan. But the morning shift forgot to make our packed lunches, when we eventually got them they had not provided what was asked - how difficult can it be to omit the mustard and pickle from a couple of sandwiches - so don't bother especially if you are stopping halfway at Benglas Farm.

“Excellent Value & Friendly Atmosphere”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011 via mobile

The staff from the second we were picked up from Inversnaid Hotel after a long and very wet day on the West Highland Way, was extremely friendly and helpful.

Yes the accomodation is basic, but the level of facilities and value for money for a bunkhouse is excellent.

Food and drink was good and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere in the evening was great, it was nice to chat with other weary walkers.

Only comment was that the drying room was a little too small for all the soaking equipment, but we got everything fried in the room just fine.

“Great night, nice people”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

I had a great day at the bunkhouse. The owners are very obliging. How often can you sleep in a church and have a bath i a hot tub before?! The view is beautyful and the dinner was delicate! Thanks again for the recipe, Nick!
When I go back to Scotland, I'll come back to the bunkhouse, for sure! Thanks for all!
