"We had a great stay at the Glenfinnan bunkhouse, quick and easy check in. The rooms were fantastic, and the facilities suited our needs, the drying room was definitely a favourite given the need to dry our kit each evening. Ideally located close to Fort William with car parking. Would definitely book again."
