尼斯湖背包客山林小屋旅舍(Loch Ness Backpackers Lodge)

Super endroit , au calme après une lounge marche sur la Great Glen Way , le staff est génial , le monsieur qui s’est occupée moi , ( vous étiez de Manchester) merci encore d avoir upgrader ma chambre pour la double où j’ai pu trouver un bon repos , attention elle était coller à la salle des pauses du personnel, ça ne m’as pas déranger mais je le signale pour certains . Cuisine vraiment super et grand frigo , partie commune très bien, douche et toilette très très clean ! Et le calme surtout !

We stayed here in a larger family room. It was clean, quiet, convenient and had what we needed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would say the only quirky thing is the showers…the oscillating water temperature (from boiling hot to ice cold) even when set to “hot” was a bummer. We’re used to the water mixer type showers here so it’s not that… When you are out all day and wet, a hot shower is a must (or at least highly desirable!). Would stay here again, as the price is appropriate!

Great backpackers, wonderful staff, extremely clean environment. Kitchen is well set up, fully stocked bar if you wish to partake and a games box for those quiet nights. Lovely mix of people booked in who all intermingle. There is a supermarket (co-op) 10 mins walk, some take aways and restaurants close by. We kayaked here after fully completing the Great Glen (I would be cautious recommending arriving by kayak, there are not racks as advertised on the GG map and no true access points) Would happily recommend this place to anyone, the people really make it a pleasure

A part un chambre familiale vraiment petite (2 lits superposés dans 9m2!), le site est superbe, les installations jolies, confortables et fonctionnelles, et l'accueil charmant. Et en plus, possibilité d'avoir son linge lavé et plié!

My wife,myself our2 boys and mother in law! stayed for 1 night on our way thru to Inverness. We had a 6 bunk room for the 5 of us which was clean & comfortable we had the use of the toilet/shower block which was clean and good hot shower. The kitchen area was clean & tidy and nice touch free tea & coffee. The only downside was when we'd pre booked the website said a continental breakfast was available onsite which unfortunately now isnt catered for and also that towel hire was £1 but is now £2. We had a lovely walk to the nearby waterfall and also down the lane thru the woods to the Loch. That said great location & facilities and we would definitely recommend if in the area.

My brother, my sister and myself had booked a night in a different hostel nearby on our road trip around Scotland. However, I missed the fact that the other hostel's reception was closing at 23:00 (completely my fault) so when we arrived at 23:15, there was no one there to open our room for us. We spent half an hour walking around and phoning trying to see if anyone was there, with no luck. We then thought we need to find another accommodation for the night, unless we wanted to sleep in the car. I phoned the Loch Ness Backpackers at around 23:45 and to my surprise someone picked up (I think this was Patrick, the owner). I explained our situation and Patrick showed a lot of understanding and compassion, however he advised me that all the staff are already in their beds and as much as he would love to help, there is no one there to open the room for us so he couldn't help us. We spent the next 15 minutes trying to phone other hostels and hotels around, including some in Inverness, with no luck (in fact one person kinda shouted at me and hung up). At this point, especially as this was all my fault, I felt terrible, tired, angry at myself and just overall terrible, like I had ruined the whole trip for my siblings. As I was running out of ideas of who to call next, my phone rang and it was Patrick! He was so kind that he had contacted his staff (at midnight!) and one of them, Liam, was still awake so he very kindly agreed to get out of his warm bed for us and show us to the room. Liam and Patrick literally saved us. Patrick asked me what kind of room I wanted over the phone, and I told him very honestly that anything he can offer will be wonderful. He could have taken advantage and overcharged us, and we would have still been very grateful, however he was very fair and charged us £24 per person. Both Liam and Patrick also very kindly said not to worry about paying in the evening and that we can pay for our stay in the morning once we have had a good sleep. The room was small, with 7 beds, and I can see how it might get crowded if the room was full, however if was just 3 of us in the room so it was perfect. The room was warm and had a window, everything seemed very clean and we had a good sleep. We had our showers in the morning as the showers in that area of the hostel don't have hot water so late at night, which was clearly outlined on the signs in the bathroom. We cannot express our gratitude enough to both Patrick and Liam for their kindness. Thank you for giving us a warm bed for the night.

We stayed 2 nights at Loch Ness Backpackers, 1 at the start of our NC500 trip and 1 at the end, we were a large group of 19 mixed families and were accommodated very well in various rooms and bunks. Both nights we pre-arranged food and enjoyed an amazing American BBQ feast firstly and a great curry night to end the trip - all very tasty, varied and plentiful and great value for money. It took the hassle out of having to cook or look for somewhere to eat and meant we could relax in the lovely lounge/bar or outside on the patio. We loved the relaxed and friendly nature of this hostel, the building and rooms are well cared for by Nikki & Patrick with a well equipped kitchen and clean bathrooms. The kids enjoyed the freedom of the patio area which led to a field where they could play football. We also enjoyed walks down to the river and on to the shore of Loch Ness (when the river went down sufficiently to hop across the stones!) Many thanks to Nikki & Patrick and their lovely children and great team of staff - a great start & finish to our holiday.
