A very enjoyable experience. We enjoyed it.
Pros:

This is a lovely quirky place, full of character and a good variety of guests. People, from various countries, were cycling, walking, on motor bikes and in cars. The local people used the bar in the evening and everyone got on really well together. The location was great for going south from either the far north-west or north-east of Scotland. Small menu but the food was good and we could see that local fruit and veg was delivered to the door.

Cons:

I am in my 80's so the stairs with my overnight bag were difficult and the bath didn't have a rail to hold on to.

The stay was fine for my needs, just not memorable compared to ther stops on my trip.
Pros:

My room was up top and spacious. I was able to charge my bike and store securely. The staff were nice and l liked the first name welcome at breakfast.

Cons:

I thought the menu was very limited, so set expectations accordingly. Breakfast was OK, but I have had better on my trip.

Cracking bunkhouse with a lovely welcome
Pros:

Lovely bunkhouse style hotel in a beautiful location. Cheryl and the other staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The castle is beautiful so take five minutes to walk over the bridge.

Food was excellent, and the bar area unique and welcoming. Beer was excellent too.

Room was clean and bed very comfortable. I was in a single on the third floor - great night sleep and very quiet. Plenty of parking too and ideal for motorcycles on tour.

Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Loved the Tattie cake! Coffee was good too.

A bargain at what I paid, will certainly be back! Thanks Cheryl.

Cons:

Nothing.

A good place to stay
Pros:

Good value with great staff and excellent breakfast

Cons:

Fairly noisy road in front but little traffic at night
We travelled on heavy electric mountain bikes with full panier bags. We followed the SUSTRANS route for LEJOG and had to carry the bikes down. 2 lots of
Steep stairs on the nearbye railway bridge. Suggest easier to cross the river at Balloch Bridge a few miles away
Not the hotel’s fault.

Great stay in Invershin
Pros:

This place was fabulous! I was riding the Far North train to Thurso to take the ferry to Orkney. I stopped here to recover from my flight from NY (boarded the train at the Inverness Airport stop). I wanted a night's rest near the train, but I got so much more. It is a few minutes walk from the train stop. I recieved a lovely, warm welcome and I especially liked the tradtional pub that is downstairs in the very old building that is charmingly furnished with all kinds of Scotish memoribilia and artwork (loved the cartoon sketchs). It was great to just wonder around and examine everything! Good food and ale too, and excellent full Scottish breakfast (although I declined the black pudding; I think that and the haggis are an acquired taste :). I didn't see the "bunkhouse", but they have hostel-like accomdations, as well as the individual rooms. I picked a smaller, twin-bedded room as I was traveling alone, but I looked into a larger double room that looked really nice. I would definitely recommend this inn!

Cons:

My bed was too soft, but that's just me
