Re: Hostels

I agree with everyone about the excellent campsite and the great pub. Both places go out of their way to be welcoming and supportive.

I would avoid the Slaters Arms like the plague. You can find my take on it

Re: Hostels

www.glen-affric.co.uk certainly states that the hotel is closed. It does give a link to the old website that talks about the bunkhouse. When I went through May 2013, it was locked up and closed down. I don't think the bunkhouse ever got off the ground properly. Have to say, the Slaters Arms was okay, but at the time it was heaving down and I had no other option for somewhere to eat something and get warm and dry. I think Maria (or whatever the first timer drowned rat was called!) would agree.

Re: Hostels

The Slaters is the pits, the 'other' pub is the dog's wotsits: welcoming, decent food & beer, warm (a nice wood-burning stove in the bar)....I'll be there next year for sure.

Re: Hostels

I can concur with the pubs in Cannich, although the barman at the Slaters was fine with me.
And the campsite.
Jolly fine place the campsite.

My take is also here where there are pictures of the nice pub.

Re: Hostels

I agree that the campsite in Cannich is great - intending to go there again next May. I ate at the Slaters Arms last year, and had a lovely meal. Staff were fine, nice and friendly, didn't mind me leaving my muddy/wet stuff by the door and padding about in socks!
