Tips for other travellers

We ate twice at the hotel just up the road and enjoyed that. The hostel has a decent honesty shop if you weren't able to hike in with food (no opportunities here to shop in town) so you won't starve. Excellent cooking facility. Breakfast is included (the first morning we had eggs available which was great, the second morning porridge oats and there was always plenty of bread and jam along with salt, pepper etc). Tea and coffee (instant) on premises along with milk, honey etc. We hiked Ben Lomond which was challenging in places but very rewarding. The "living room" at the bunkhouse is lovely with sofas, pillows and blankets which were lovely after a damp and tiring hike up the mountain. Also a decent dvd selection which is fun when the evenings are long in November.

There is a well stored honesty shop but if you like wholemeal bread only white is provided. You might want to bring some fruit too

Staff were helpful and friendly, thanks for the gluten free food. Loved the lounge and the range of books and the log burner. Honesty box cupboard in the kitchen is a great system for walkers.

West Highland Way is fantastic. Give yourself plenty of time to get to next stage though as it is very difficult!
