BCC Lochness Hostel Pods

Non c'era reception, nessuno da accogliere. La stanza era doppiamente prenotata e nessuna scusa. Trip.com ha dovuto sistemarci, siamo finiti in una stanza diversa ma era sporca.

I was very apprehensive about staying here after reading many negative reviews, but to my surprise it was a very pleasant experience. Only met one staff member who was pleasant and helpful , the accommodation was basic , but as expected for glamping , the ablutions were clean and well maintained, and the site was in a quiet, beautiful location by the river

Our experience was much like most of the other people that have posted reviews for this site. Great location sadly let down by owners that seem to have either run out of time, effort, or money to keep the place and facilities up to standard. Also ,there was no sign of any owners or workers to actually speak to about the state of the place. So we arrived for a two night stay. The Pod itself looked a bit rundown but acceptable, albeit very basic. I didn't believe my wife when she came back from the shower and toilet building and told me how bad it was. Honestly, it looked like it had not been looked after for months, mould, dead insects, spiderwebs, broken fixings everywhere. One out of the 3 showers was just about usable but totally disgusting, at least it had a working light i suppose.... The toilets all looked like they hadn't been cleaned or maintained for I don't know how long. So we decided to stay for just the one night and leave first thing in the morning. Thankfully I had brought a fan heater with us as there was no heating in the Pod, despite it being late September. The fan heater though had the unfortunate side effect of making the stale musty smell in the Pod more obvious. At this point we decided to put our gear back in the car and head back down the road. My fault for not checking reviews beforehand at the end of the day. We won't be making that mistake again, that's for sure.
