BCC Lochness Hostel Pods

Close to Loch Ness. Comfortable.

小溪旁邊非常撿漏的搭建房。裏面很簡陋，衹有一張床，三個電源插座，一箇舊沙發，沒有桌子，沒有洗手池，洗手池和衞生間是公用的

Overall - served the purpose. They seriously need to post quiet hours like 10pm-6am 11-7 if you want a decent and needed sleep after long driving or hiking. It’s a small area and cabins close together - Drunk loud guys came in at 6:40pm and were outside until after midnight . we were all up until they decided they were done and started again at 6am. Great spot by the river but you can’t hear or enjoy the river or nature if there is no respect for a shared outside space. Posting signs on the cabin doors for quiet night hiurs - even 6 hours to sleep a bit would go a long way. It’s a crap shoot otherwise if you get to rest before your next day.

The location is good, by the river, although it’s next to a 60mph road so cars rushing by are heard throughout the night. On the booking page there were pictures of a fairly new, cute round wooden ‘pod’, which would suit the name Glamping pods as advertised. The pods were actually present on the premises and looked really charming. We were very disappointed to find that our ‘Glamping pod’ was in fact a garden shed with double doors, which stood at an angle, had a weird combination of old beds and a part of a sofa and some parts of a cupboard. Nothing near the pictures. Furthermore the damp smell could be coming from weather conditions, but there were 2 blankets (there are 5 beds, so?) and one cushion that didn’t looked good (used to be white) which might have added extra smell to the atmosphere. At least we were dry for the night although the sound of drops of water falling to the floor was heard throughout the night, a source of a leakage wasn’t found. Toilets and showers were fine, which was much appreciated.

We arrived to the place that Google Maps lead us to. The sign on the door

Dreadful stay in a supposed “luxury” cottage. Not clean. Kitchen had a filthy sponge by the sink, pans had food encrusted on them, drawers were dirty inside, inside the glass jug was dirty, splatters up the wall by the bin, dishwasher didn’t work, couldn’t read the numbers on the dial for the oven temperature. Bedding stained. General state of disrepair. Owners totally disinterested. Awful!
