This was the best backpacking campsite along the WHW.  Flat pitches, amazing showers and a very efficient drying room. Small covered eating area too and very handy for the town.  The staff were friendly and efficient and the price was about right. 10/10

Excellent WHW camping 

Have stay in the hostel often, this time we stayed in one of the pods. 
Fabulous! 
Cosy, well appointed with fridge, kettle, TV, microwave and spotlessly clean! 

If in Kinlochleven, look no further! Get it booked. 

Fabulous stop on the West Highland Way 

We got there on thursday night,drenched and wind battered,nikki managed to get a washing done for us as our gear was soaked.the showers are fantastic after a cold wet day on the hill.went to town for dinner,but used the kitchen next morning for breakfast.perfect for us.all in all if youChe are a walker this is the very place you need,shout out to Chelsea very chatty and friendly

God send

Lovely place! We stayed in a couple of pods and they were just what we were looking for. Good base for going off hiking. Nice and clean as were the toilets and showers. Very friendly and helpful staff. We'll be back! 

All we needed 

I stayed in Pod 2 for one night while walking the WHW, it was just what I needed. Showers and toilets very clean and not far from the pod, pod was very comfortable and a 10 minute blast of the heater was all I needed to get the pod nice and toasty before bed. I had camped along the route before this and I am so glad I booked the pod because I needed that little bit of comfort ahead of Day 7 to Fort William. Owners were really kind and let me check in a bit early because it happened to be ready which I really appreciated. 
Great amenities in Kinlochleven ahead of the last push along the WHW to Fort William.

Pod was a welcome bit of comfort after camping. Clean and professional site, highly recommend.

My favourite place to stay during my whw. I booked a 2 person pod for myself (book in advance to get a good rate). I was in pod 2 that looked out into the river. The pod was clean, well insulated and very warm, I never needed to use the heater at all. It has two single beds, microwave, kettle and fridge. Showers and toilets for pod users are a 10 second walk away in the building accessible via door code. Toilets and showers were very clean though the showers are the kind you have to press the button every 7 seconds to get water! I had a great sleep, staff were friendly and recommended places to eat etc. It is directly on the whw so no need to go searching for your hotel etc. There was a small window which had a midge net on the other side so I could keep that open for ventilation. If there are 2 of you and both have suitcases it would maybe be a little cramped. Would recommend, like being in a hobbit house!

Whw glamping pod

Perfectly located, rainy long day of walking and its right on the way. Pod was nice and clean, showers were banging and not £1 for 5 minutes(Glencoe). The dry room, is a dry room not a cupboard in the shower blocks. Breath of fresh air after some of the sites we stayed in. Banging, would 100% stay again.

Stopped here overnight whilst walking the West Highland Way. Good accommodation and facilities at a reasonable price. The staff were really helpful. Nearby there is a well stocked CoOp and 2 nice public houses. There is also a bus service if you need to get to Fort William. I would stay here again and would highly recommend it. This was the 3rd time along the West Highland Way that we had slept overnight in this type of accommodation so I could easily compare standards. This one was excellent. 

Fabulous overnight stop with good amenities and also local facilities 

The location of this hostel is second to none. I stayed with my 5 year old daughter and we loved it from the minute we arrived. Swim in the river or go for a meal it’s all here.
We spent 2 nights in the hostel and we were never bored. 
Easy access to fortwilliam and right on the west highland way.

Beauty personified

Stayed in a glamping pod for the night, really enjoyed my stay:
Location - stunning, sound of the waterfall outside and right on the WHW

Amenities - the pod was so so cozy with everything you needed, picnic table outside, yale lock for security, heating, fan, microwave, tv, fridge etc, amazing.

Toilets were very close by and very clean, i did take off a star for the showers though :( not warm enough and having the constantly push the button, was not ideal.

Service - very friendly on arrival and cannot fault

I would honestly recommend to amyone in the area
