I’m so glad we stayed and would recommend Highland Lodge to friends.

Pros: It was lovely and clean … it exceeded my expectations because some of the reviews I read… found them to be inaccurate. Lovely cosy lounge and well equipped kitchen. The beds were surprisingly comfortable.

Cons: The only slight neg thing would be the showers . Found them to be quite small and tight but there was hot water so can’t complain. I

Pros: Great common area, was lovely to sit on a lounge after a big days hiking

Cons: The property can’t control it but a group of about 20 people arrived at midnight and left at 4am but sounded like a herd of elephants both times

Pros: We stayed here for one night during WHW. The accommodation was comfortable, towels for a small fee. The shower was comfortable and the water ran hot. Nothing to complain about. The kitchen was really well equipped. The lady owner was great and gave us a restaurant recommendation.

Good self-catering option for a good night's rest in Kinlochleven

Pros: Clean and comfy. My room had a great view. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Loved the midgie screen so I could open the window!

Cons: The pillow was about as thin as a tea cosy. It was the only thing I didn't like. Fortunately, I was able to use a pillow from one of the other beds as well.
