Self check in was convenient, make sure you have your code ready. I had asked for two beds (for my 6ft teen and I) but it was set up as one bed. It was only by chance that I saw one staff on her way home. She did not look pleased but still, moved the two singles apart and got the proper bedding. Otherwise, clean and convenient. You need to park in a lane, close enough at a couple minutes walk, but you'll want to drop your bags first.

We stayed only long enough to book other accommodation up the road. Be really careful which room you select as we thought we were getting the common set up of two twin beds that could be separated, but it was a double not suitable for two friends travelling together.

A fantastic place to stay if you are walking or cycling the GGW. The room was very comfortable, nicely decorated with stunning views over the River Oich. Dedicated space for boots and wet clothing, drying rail in the bathroom for wet gear and plenty of tea and coffee! There is also a secure bike store (outside, but upstairs on the roof space)

We stayed one night here, passing through to Inverness and then to Skye. The stay was comfortable and clean and very interesting as we got to watch a boat go through the locks. we had a room of 4 bunks, which was perfectly fine. The breakfast at the canal center was good and the area surrounding the town was lovely to explore.

I have been traveling for many years, and I don't think I've ever been as comfortable in a hotel room before. Everything was clean, comfortable, quiet and I felt very safe. Traveling with my family is not easy in Scotland, this was fantastic. We had a full bed and two twin bunks. No cots or rollouts. Local meals were amazing. And the canal was super cool. Highly recommended.

Property was clean and in a nice location. Biggest issues: 1. We booked a King bed and it was only a queen. 2. They only provided us with one towel for 2 people 3. There was no way to reach anyone after 5pm. Check in wasn’t even allowed until 430pm. Messaged the property 4 days ago and still no response.
