Really enjoyed it - we'd be happy to stay again, especially for short stays.

Pros: Fantastic location. Some of the other guests were lovely. The underfloor heating was really good!

Cons: Some of the other guests inclined to be loud, and not always considerate. I guess it's always a risk with shared facilities.

Highland Basecamp provided a refreshing rest space.

Pros: The comfort, cleanliness and communal facilities were beyond my expectations. The location was excellent. The booking and checking in process was easy and understandable. The in-room facilities were very good especially the wet room. The inside communal area was comfortable and roomy with very well appointed kitchens. The outside communal area was spacious and provided excellent views over Lochaline and the bay.

Cons: Nothing.

Great place to stay

Pros: Small convenient room. Practical and accessible. Great communal room with excellent kitchen facilities

Cons: Bathroom a bit small! Could do with some clothing hooks. A few extra bits like an iron and hairdryer would add that missing touch.

Fun and restful thanks

Pros: Rooms easily and independently accessed from outside, room compact but just what we needed, good temperature and clean. Community kitchen and lounge comfortable, roomy and very well equipped. Quiet, located close to ferry and some shops. Owners friendly and helpful.

Really nice hostel.

Pros: Super hostel, excellent location, and Lochaline is a really friendly place. Great view from the decking. Bunk bed dorms were quiet and with good shower. Big kitchen, dining area, friendly staff. What a good job making such a nice hostel. Sorry to leave.

A lovely find

Pros: Great layout for friends, groups or family. The bedroom areas were small but warm with underfloor heating, wet room and shelving. The communal area is the highlight though - warm, great kitchen, dining and sitting areas. We got soaked and the drying room got everything dry overnight

Good cozy modern hostel with rural and boat vibe

Pros: Nice location and facilities. Did not see staff. Kitchen etc well set up. Cozy hostel.

Cons: Toilet close to door. I imagine a big person might have to sit awkwardly on it. Shower is wet room so we left a towel on the floor.

Value

Pros: Great communal kitchen / sitting area, good value. Nice sheets etc given it is just bunk beds.

Cons: Room a bit poky - but half the price of a hotel, private bathroom, can't complain
