    I had the most delightful stay at this bijou accommodation. The design and presentation were impeccable, with fresh white walls and beautifully coordinated furnishings. The room was spotlessly clean, and the en-suite bathroom was modern and spacious. The beds were comfortable, and the linen and towels were crisp and fresh. I also appreciated the access to a communal kitchen with complimentary tea and coffee. The highlight for me was spotting red deer in the garden while enjoying a meal on the patio. The host was friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this exceptional budget accommodation.

    The bunkhouse is conveniently located, offering stunning views of the nearby Loch Linnhe and ample parking space. the rooms are clean and thoughtfully designed, with individual names and minimalist chic decor. the staff, Huw and Sam, are friendly and accommodating, always available for assistance. the communal areas, such as the TV lounge and kitchen cum dining room, provide a cozy and communal atmosphere. For backpackers or those on a budget, this bunkhouse offers great value for money, with affordable rates compared to other accommodations in the area.

    The shower in the room lacks a soap stand and a hand towel is not provided.

    I recently stayed at a lovely bunkhouse in Fort William for two nights. The modern interior of the twin rooms was a pleasant surprise, and the communal spaces, including the kitchen, snug, and drying room, were fantastic. The property had gorgeous views of the Loch, especially from the outdoor seating area. The staff were really friendly and helpful, providing us with everything we needed and extra advice on the area. I was really impressed with my stay and would highly recommend the bunkhouse.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

We highly recommend Black Sheep Bunkhouse for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thank you!

    All was perfect! 😊.

    I had a wonderful stay at Black Sheep Bunkhouse. The accommodation was beautifully designed and presented, with attention to detail in every aspect. The room and en-suite bathroom were spotlessly clean, and the comfortable beds were perfect for our group of three. The communal kitchen was well-equipped and we enjoyed complimentary tea and coffee. The highlight was sitting at the patio table outside, with a view of the loch and even spotting red deer in the garden. The friendly and helpful host made our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this delightful accommodation.

    Although the property is located up a high winding hill, it didn't pose a problem for us as we had a car. For those without a vehicle, it might be a bit challenging.

    The accommodation here is superb, with extremely clean and well, appointed rooms. the bunkhouse offers practical and efficient facilities, such as a 24, hour keyless self, service check, in/check, out system. the friendly owners provide clear instructions for entry via WhatsApp or email. the location offers stunning views of the Loch, making it a perfect spot for enjoying a morning coffee or relaxing outside. the communal spaces, including a modern kitchen and snug, are fantastic for socializing with fellow travelers.

    One downside is that the shower in the room is quite small and lacks a soap stand, which can be inconvenient.

    The accommodation is conveniently located close to the town center, offering magnificent views of the surrounding scenery. the rooms are clean and minimalist in style, with comfortable beds and adequate en suite bathrooms. the staff is friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for dining options and places to visit. There is also a communal kitchen and a cozy TV lounge available to use.

    One minor downside is that the shower in the bathroom is small and does not have a soap stand.

    The location of the hotel is excellent, providing easy access to restaurants and attractions. the rooms are clean and adequate, with modern interiors. the kitchen facilities are good for preparing meals, and the communal areas like the snug and drying room are fantastic spaces to relax and unwind. Guests can also enjoy stunning views from the outdoor seating area. the staff are friendly and welcoming, providing warm greetings and accommodating early check-ins.

    There is a limited space for hanging out in the snug, making it difficult for larger groups to socialize comfortably.

    We had a fantastic stay at the Black Sheep Bunkhouse! The location in a quiet neighborhood was ideal and the views of the lake were stunning. The facility itself was clean and well-maintained, with brand new rooms and a lovely garden to relax in. The owner was friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the drying room for our wet hiking gear. Despite the minor inconvenience of a remote location and lack of coffee options, this place offered great value for money. I highly recommend this bunkhouse for a pleasant and comfortable stay.

    The bunkhouse was very comfortable and modern, with a comfortable bed and a power shower in the en-suite bathroom. The use of the kitchen and cooking facilities was a great bonus, and the free coffee and tea made it feel like home. The TV room was a nice touch, and the drying room for wet clothes was extremely useful. I also liked the key pad locks on the doors, which added an extra level of security. The owner of the bunkhouse was very friendly and made me feel welcome.
