Petite chambre dortoir pour 4 personnes propre et cocooning. Nous avons fait une réservation en dernière minute pour 3 personnes et sommes arrivées tard dans la soirée en autonomie (codes pour entrer transmis). Personnel prévenant par message et très gentil (croisé le matin).

Chambre chauffée très chaud à notre arrivée mais nous avons aéré et réglé le chauffage et c'était bon. Chambre vraiment petite en revanche, pour 3 c'était juste avec les bagages, je pense qu'à 4 c'est tendu.

"A very pleasant and economical stay"

10.0

The Blackwater Hostel felt as though it was at the top end of what you'd expect from a hostel. The kitchen facilities were very good and if you wanted to prepare all of your own meals that would be easy. The kitchen had all of the equipment you could need and there was a Coop Store in the village to buy your food. Also, there was a supply of things like flour and milk and quite a few other things that other guests had left. This was very handy when we were preparing our food.

There was nothing that fell below our expectations.

"Great stopover for an overnight near Glencoe"

9.0

Nice little tucked away spot near Glencoe. We were going to use it as a home base to do some hikes around the area, but it absolutely poured on the only day we were there. Luckily, the hostel is very clean and comfortable and we spent a nice rainy day playing cards, reading, and cooking dinner in the first floor common area. Our private 4-person room was great to get a quick night's rest and shower (the shower is kinda funny because you have to keep pressing a button for the water to come out but it worked well and had good water pressure and temp!) before heading out on the rest of our Highlands tour.

The hostel is a little confusing to find at first. Google maps put us in a parking lot sort of in front of it and it took us a few minutes of backtracking and looking at the map ourselves to find the sign that leads off of the main road. But rest assured that it's there!
