narrow beds

Beds in the twin room were extremely narrow, making movement a challenge for taller guests. More space would have been appreciated, especially considering the need for a dairy-free breakfast option and a dedicated drying room would enhance the stay. The shared kitchen lacked certain amenities that could improve the experience for walkers, especially after long days on the trails.

clean bunkhouse

cozy outdoor areas

great kitchen

Everyone in my party was impressed by this bunkhouse! We were walking the West Highland Way, and the night here reinvigorated us. The kitchen was perfect for cooking and eating together. Clean, comfortable, and cozy outdoor areas made it a great choice. I'd definitely stay here again! 😄

narrow beds

lack of upgrades

the Birchwood Guest Lodge was a total letdown. The beds were extremely narrow, making it terrifying to move at night. I expected a complimentary upgrade for my troubles, but alas, I was just treated like everyone else. No grace or favor here. I almost thought about leaving a good review but just couldn’t.

weak wi-fi

no dairy-free options

The room was super cozy and clean, which is a must for me. I loved the clever design and the attention to detail. There’s a nice self-catering kitchen, and you can chill in the garden. Great spot after a long day walking. the views of Loch Lomond were lovely too. Just wish the Wi-Fi was a bit stronger!
