This is a great place located around a mile or so from Strontian, off the beaten track. I had the twin (bunk bed) room in the bunkhouse next to the kitchen. Room was clean, tidy with a separate toilet, shower, sink. The TV and Freesat did not work (no channels) but frankly that didn’t matter as the weekend was about getting away from the Rat Race. Bed was small (but I big), but comfortable. The sound of a babbling brook, the smell of wood smoke and stars in the dark sky at night was enough entertainment for me. Kate, Colin and the young man in the Ariundle Centre next door were all friendly and welcoming. The Ariundle Centre is a real gem! Highly recommended!

Hideaway in the woods
It was nice and warm,the mattresses could do with upgrading and tv,s that work but the staff were awesome,especially the girl who makes the awesome cakes there especially the scones and i told her so.it is in the middle of nowhere so is hard to find but once there its stunning. Plus we were very lucky to witness a pair of eagles fly over us.

Very Dirty and Messy
Very very dirty and messy. No clear direction as to which bunk, many bunks with old bedding on. Dirty nappies from long ago in the bin. Milk months old in the fridge and smelling. States wifi but none and no phone signal so made work I had planned to do very difficult, wouldn't have booked if I had known this. Needs a lot of TLC and cleaning.

We booked a room a few weeks prior to our trip, upon arrival we were assigned the self contained flat with its own kitchen! We were delighted. The area is gorgeous, very remote and peaceful, with lots of scenery within easy walking distance. All of the staff were lovely, very friendly, as were the other guests we came across. Great knowledge of the local area and walk / shop suggestions. It's a great base in this part of Scotland, we got up early to go and see the Glenfinnan Viaduct, the location let us get there early! Next time I travel to the Fort William area I'll definitely be staying here again!

Only stay here if you can't find anywhere else to stay and it's to wet to sleep in a ditch.

Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We arrived very very late at night due to a car accident on the road. We were exhausted and hungry. The owner and staff were waiting for us, still gave us hot food, tea, beer, wine anything we wished. I can't thank enough for that night! The dining room was pleasant either at night with a candle on the table or in the morning having breakfast (nice and crispy rolls with egg and bacon) If you are looking for an escape from a busy city life, this is the place to switch off.

Basic, ill maintained and cheap
You get what you pay for, such as this remote room. No WiFi in room, have to go to reception/restaurent. Toilet did not flush. They couldn't fix it. Argument with other guests who didn't get enough rooms, they tried to sleep in our room. Breakfast not included.

A unique place to stay in a beautiful location. Stunning walks in local oak woods just up the road, a homely feel with local crafts for sale and a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Thank you :)

Want a Great stay ..this place is a must.
Fantastic service and location, off the beaten track this is a must for anybody who wants good old fashioned Scottish hospitality. The staff are brilliant , friendly and kind. The food is good and tastey served hot with a log burner warming the restaurant. The rooms were spotless and warm with comfy beds and warm showers. We can't recommend highly enough.

Relaxing and scenic. It's a long way from the nearest phone mast and the wifi cut out sometimes, but you come here to get *away* from it all. Service is friendly and personal. Food is tasty, not elaborate. This is definitely not a chain hotel, though. I came here to relax, to depressurise, and to cycle through beautiful scenery - and I wasn't disappointed. There are some quiet forestry trails along Loch Shiel towards Glenfinnan, and the main road is very bike-friendly too.

The grandma owning this place and this other guy working there are a shame for the scottish people. Every scottish person I met was lovely and super nice but the elderly women there is rude and just wants your money. They're advertising Wifi but it's not working and if it would work it would only work at the restaurant. Asked a guy working there about the Wifi issue and he was answering in such a rude way, couldn't believe it. Well, after he basically told me that it might work at some point or not I asked the elderly women if I could call home since I could not sent a text message due to the wifi. She gave me the phone and everything worked out. I ate there, paid for my meal and then she really was asking for a pound for calling? I was thinking is that really true right now? She told me that the wifi would work for everybody whilst the other guy 20 minutes earlier told me that it doesn't work sometimes. I refused to give her the money and was glad that I only stayed there for a night. There was no TV in the dorm or in the common room nor in the restaurant. Waiter at the restaurant was lovely tho. Wouldn't recommend.
