    No breakfast, However you have a kitchen with Milk, Bread , tea ,coffee , young man who look after the property is lovable personality. If you need any help , he is there.

    Nice property, with parking . Very near to the town centre. Near by Spar and other stores. When you walk , little up and down. If you like walking you will enjoy

    Only issue was the shower was electric and I couldn't for the life of me get the heat correct, it was either too cold or too hot. That could just be me however.

    Excellent value for money and really beautiful location. Room was spacious, comfy and clean. Sam was friendly and accommodating.

    Not being able to criticise

    Excellent drying room, comfortable beds, fantastic kitchen facilities, clean, great shower. After finishing a long distance walk this was ideal. I'm usually somewhat critical but here I have met my match. One of the best bunkhouses I've stayed in...and there's been a lot

    Great that it’s so close to the high street, only downside is it’s at the top of a pretty big steep hill (if you’re trying to drag a suitcase up it) and taxis are scarce, so be prepared for that. Obviously that’s not the fault of the accommodation! It’s just the only thing we wish had been different and would be useful for other people to know.

    The person who greeted us was very welcoming. The rooms were absolutely spotless and felt so clean. We shared a twin room and the single beds had very comfortable mattresses. The bathroom had a great shower, and again, the bathroom was really clean. The place was peaceful and quiet so a good night’s sleep. Great views.

    The twin room is abit squeezy but honestly, I have no complaints bc there was plently of storage!

    The guest house was near to city centre and very clean! I appreciated that the guest house has a communal kitchen that we could use and there was a table and bench outside where we could enjoy the view! Highly recommend!

    It took us by surprise that it´s on a high street of a pretty steep hill but an exceptional view and beautiful accommodation were worth of way up.

    Accommodation was wonderful - a beautiful place with a stunning view, spacious room with super comfy beds and a nice bathroom, everything was clean and nicely prepared for our arrival, and amazingly friendly staff.

    A warm, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The owner could not have been more helpful and attentive. It's clear he wants his guests to be well cared for and have a perfect stay. I am a digital nomad so wifi is very important to me and he offered options that made it easy to conduct my Zoom calls. It's very clean, modern/recently updated, has a GREAT view, a lovely terrace to enjoy, the kitchen is very well stocked which was welcoming since I don't have a car and it's a little walk to town. But the trade-off is that it's super peaceful, nestled on the hillside overlooking the loch, and feels very homey. I highly recommend this guesthouse. High attention to details so nothing is lacking. Lovely stay. Thank you!

    We absolutely loved everything about this property. four of us stayed in two of the twin rooms and were pleasantly surprised by the modern interior. the kitchen, snug and drying room were all fantastic communal spaces and the outdoors seating area made for a spectacular viewing spot for our morning coffee over looking the loch. If I ever decide to climb Nevis again I will be sure to book this place to stay
