Tyndrum Lodges

Best check-in experience on the WHW! The person who checked us in was very pleasant, welcoming, and efficient. Clean, spacious rooms, a huge drying room, a beautiful campsite, and the perfect location to recharge before our 30 km trek to Kingshouse.

The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. Overall, it's good accomodation, IMO. For our stay, the drying room failed. Everything was still soaking wet in the morning. I got the impression that the blame was on some thermostat fiddling, but who knows. If someone was being mischievous, my suggestion to the managers is that they repair the door so that it closes by itself, because it was usually open, making the combination lock redundant. It ain't secure. I think the dryer ought to be checked before everyone knocks off for the (early) evening. Given the drying room situation, I'd like to have a hairdrier in the room without needing to ask for one (especially because the staff are not there all the time). The heater in the room is electric and not an oil heater, so you can't put anything on it to dry without starting a fire (there's an amusing notice sternly warning you about this). The towel heater was very small. The packed breakfast for two was comically poor - a bunch of random items in a bag. One muffin - huh? I didn't care that much, but the overall impression I got from this place was that someone needs to pay more attention to detail (we had a minor room issue too). It gives the impression of being a part time operation sitting on its laurels, but perfectly fine if your room doesn't have any issues and the drying room works for you.

Unwelcoming and unhelpful check-in. When I asked about the continental breakfast advertised on their publicity, I was told that I booked room only (which may be true) and I could go to the nearby village for breakfast. Otherwise trouble-free. Lock on the door to our block was broken. Room was large, comfortable bed, excellent lighting, effective blackout curtains, good heater. Everything worked well except for the TV which, despite the extensive list of channels on the guide, only showed a limited number of live channels and none that carried news, such as BBC One or ITV1. Hot water, bath, shower and towels were all good. A toilet brush would be a useful addition to the bathroom.

Pretty and welcoming Excellent clean and friendly place. Comfortable bed, good quality furniture even a small fridge. Beautiful scenery and just along the road are places to eat, green welly shop, and fuel. I recommend the Ben Lui restaurant. Ask for a room away from the road.

Had one night last week, staying in a triple room at Tyndrum Lodges whilst walking the West Highland Way. It was without a doubt the best night’s sleep I had during my week on the Way. The bed was so comfortable, I had 2 pillows, the linen was high quality and most importantly, the mattress was like a soft cloud and didn’t creak if I turned over during the night. Our triple room was big enough for us to each have our cases open all at the same time, unlike all of the other places where we stayed along the Way. There was a hanging rail and a fridge and fluffy towels along with a great courtesy tea tray with tea, coffee & biscuits. The black out curtains did what they were supposed to do - also the best ones we had along the route. The room was spotlessly clean and the bathroom had a bath as well as an overhead shower. It was without doubt one of our accommodation highlights. The view from our window was good too.

Spacious, comfortable and clean rooms at the south end of Tyndrum. Easy walk downhill from Upper Tyndrum train station and easy walk along the road for restaurants and shop. We had a breakfast bag which was good - plenty to eat but would have preferred a cooked breakfast. Also nowhere to eat inside the room except on your lap - would be good to have a small table. The beds were super comfy and the lodges are in a great location.
