Had chosen the bunkhouse as I had friends who had booked to stay at the Inn just across the water and were full. ||I have to say that the accommodation is very good value and the staff that I met were amazing. …

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Corran Bunkhouse in Fort William, Scotland, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Alan, the host, was incredibly welcoming and made our stay exceptionally memorable. From the moment we arrived, his warm hospitality set the tone for a fantastic visit.The surroundings of the bunkhouse are simply breathtaking, offering a serene and picturesque retreat that perfectly complements the natural beauty of the area. One of my favorite features was the shared living room, which was wonderfully cozy and furnished with an abundance of comfortable couches. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day of exploring.A special mention must be made of Alan's thoughtfulness. I accidentally left my EarPods behind, and Alan went out of his way to send them back to Germany without asking for any compensation. His kindness truly went above and beyond, reflecting his genuine care for his guests.If you're looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and beautifully situated place to stay in Fort William, Corran Bunkhouse is the place to be. Thank you, Alan, for making our stay so special!

I cannot say anything about the accommodations but as I got to know Allan, they must be superb! We stranded nearby with our bikes and could not take them on the bus, so we decided to ask if we could leave the bikes there to take the bus and get our car. Allan was the kindest soul and we could leave our bikes there without any doubt! When we came back he gave us recommendations for restaurants and we had a little chat. Such a friendly man can only run a good accommodation ◡̈ it was nice to meet him and in case you stay there have a lovely chat with him!

Alan is lovely, he will give you all the information and care you need.The room was cosy, clean and equipped with all the accessories (e.g. hairdryer).The position is good for guests staying more days and enjoying the nature around. Coming by car is probably easier than with other transports.

I absolutely loved all aspects of Corran Bunkhouse, from the residence itself to the lady running it.I had to cancel my booking last minute due to a bereavement. I spoke with the owner to explain and she could not have been kinder, no qualms about the cancellation.I then rebooked a few days later, bringing my partner and baby with me. The Bunkhouse is AMAZING!! Beautiful building in a gorgeous spot right next to the loch. A lot of thought and consideration has gone into this place, and the common areas are immaculate, comfortable, well equipped and a place you genuinely want to hang out. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook, and was a lovely space.Our room was spotless, lovely bedding and very comfy en suite bathroom. The owner had taken great care to provide us with a baby bed, bedding and a high chair. Everything was perfect.This is an exceptionally well run business and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you to the ower - I didn't get your name but we love our time with you!

I was so disappointed after reading so many wonderful reviews. This isn’t a negative review of the staff member who greeted me and showed me around the bunkhouse - everything was clean and well thought out. If we had a better room than the ground level I probably would have had a better experience but I was kept up all night listening to people move around the floors creaking late at night and early hours of the morning (I started to cry I was just so tired). I’m sure it’s a great place to stay just don’t accept staying in the lower levels unless you are a heavy sleeper. The walls are paper thin.

We were looking for accommodation in the Lochaber area as a base for a kayaking weekend, and Corran bunkhouse fit the bill perfectly. Everything is good quality, and the rooms are clean and functional - ours had a nice ensuite too. …
