BLACKSMITHS BUNKHOUSE

Sleeps 14

Blacksmiths Bunkhouse has ground floor views over Loch Linnhe and the nearby islands off the end of the Caledonian Canal, Ben Nevis – and views to the sunsets over the Ardgour and Glenfinnan hills to the west– especially in autumn and winter!

Bunkhouse bookings are only made on a full room  basis in bunkrooms of 4 and 6 persons – not on an individual per bed basis. You can, of course book the whole of The Blacksmiths Bunkhouse on an exclusive basis.
