    Staff friendly. Property was small but had everything you need in it. Was close to Ben Nevis (the purpose of our trip was to climb Ben Nevis). Got given breakfast free of charge. Warm shower, clean rooms etc.

    The surprise breakfast of coffee and croissants every morning was a lovely addition. The view out the window of the peak of Ben Nevis was fantastic.
