Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
We stayed while walking the Great Glen Way. It is a mile from the route. We had a great dinner at the Eagle Barge Inn before going to hostel. Very small room with bunk bed and shared bathroom. Have to rent towels. End of season so no breakfast, but a kitchen was available to use. We walked to the Well of Seven Heads coffee shop for breakfast.

I loved every moment of my stay at the Great Glen. The staff were attentive, kind, and helpful. The rooms were always clean and cozy, and the attached restaurant had great food at good prices!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Salle d'eau avec un joint d'étanchéité au bord de la crise de nerfs accompagné de moisissures pour vérifier l'état de votre système immunitaire. Quand à la chambre exiguë pour 2 personnes, présence de poussière sous les matelas. Sinon, personnel charmant et accueillant.

Camera tripla microscopica
Struttura esternamente graziosa, bagni in comune puliti ma la nostra camera ( per tre adulti) era microscopica non si ci girava veramente troppo piccola adatta a malapena a tre bambini( senza bagagli) ; abbiamo cenato nella struttura e oltre ad un ambiente piacevole il cibo era veramente buono
