The Inversnaid Bunkhouse in Stirling

I stayed 1 night here while walking the West Highland Way. Lovely double room by the stream (might be a bit midget earlier in the year). Shared shower room, but with just one other room. Clean, warm and comfortable. Good WiFi. Dinner in the Top Bunk was great. Venison stew with dumplings and garlic potatoes. One of the best meals of my trip.

Stayed for 1 night when doing the west highland way. Picked up from loch side within 5 minutes of ringing to say we were there. Once at bunkhouse it was like entering into a place of tranquility with quirkiness and everyone was so helpful and friendly. Evening meal was excellent and we all struggled to eat the huge portions. The whole place is amazing and well run and nothing is a bother or too much trouble to them. Keep up the good work and we hope to visit again

Loved the location of this Bunk House, felt like a real achievement climbing up through the mountain pass in the rain. Whilst the Rooms are a little small, and some bunk beds are 3 stories (a little scary being on top!) the food was truly out of this world. The venison stew had incredible flavours and the portion sizes were great after a 22 mile hike. We had a mix of mains and my friend couldn’t manage her linguine, that lasted about 5 mins before everyone dug in. My only feedback was the apple crumble needed to have been in a bigger dish, with full size apple pieces as it was a little mushy. The crumble part was great.

Backpacking from Sallochy along a difficult route to Inversnaid to reach this haven. Transport picked us up and transported us to the venue there & back. Great food and hospitality. Staff were brilliant and so helpful. Evening meal, breakfast and packed lunch all excellent so compliments to the chefs. Just a great quirky converted Chapel with good facilities.

The Top Bunk Bistro offers the best food for miles around - mainly because there is few other places to eat! But now I’ve been there, I’d travel a fair old distance to eat there again. It’s set in a disused chapel near a small campsite in a remote area close to the banks of Loch Lomond. We had almost given up hope of finding somewhere to eat when we stumbled across it. Expecting an average meal at best, we were stunned by the imaginative menu and wide choice of food and drink. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient and it’s great value for money. Clearly, the lack of competition hasn’t harmed the excellent standards here. We returned the following evening to sample other delights on offer and thoroughly recommend it.

Brilliant hostel! The staff were lovely and the facilities were clean and well maintained. Although the showers are outside they are very nice. The restaurant upstairs is stellar and overall value for money on the stay was very good compared to other places on the West Highland Way! I would recommend to stay here over the inversnaid hotel any day!

Would first of all like to start by saying the best thing about this place is the staff… big shout out to Pete and Shaun ! They were upbeat and welcoming when picked up after finishing our 2nd day hike doing the west highland way, food was class and even sorted us out with an upgrade to a caravan which was fantastic! When leaving we got a pack lunch made for us and my dog got some nice chicken fillets to prepare us for our day ahead (thanks Shaun)we actually considered booking to stay another night it was so great! We will definitely be back I wish I could give this more stars 🤪if you want a place that’s cosey/quirky and great banter book here you won’t be dissapointed !!!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Absolutely without a doubt the best meal I have had for a while, I can not recommend this place enough, food was plentiful, warm, well presented and tasted amazing, good selection of drinks as well. I will definitely go back to this place. Staff were very friendly, 10/10

Booked a room for 5 on a family roadtrip - 3 teenagers included. Rather than simply give an overall opinion here are my pros and cons as some of these will vary in importance for different people. Pros: The beds were super comfy! Must be good mattresses 😁. The communal/ bistro area is beautiful - stained glass and beams. Games and books to borrow. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The showers in the new block were awesome! Rainshower and directional heads. Picnic tables outside and in a gazebo which is a good idea given the tendancy to rain. Everywhere was clean. Cons: It all feels a bit cramped - the room was very small, the toilet/sink room inside is quite small, the seating area only seats about 6 if you're not eating. The bistro menu sounded delicious and smelled lovely. We had eaten out at lunch so had a picnic for tea but would have thought twice anyway. At around £16 for mains and £8 for desert this would have been a very pricey meal for 5 and we booked bunkhouses to keep costs down! It is quite remote. A good few miles down a largely single track road that is very badly maintained (although very lovely in places). Great if walking (West Highland Way) but takes a while in the car. Very limited car parking. Overall, it worked for us and we had a great night's sleep.

The team at the Bunkhouse were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. We were picked up in the minibus from the Inversnaid hotel, which saved us walking up the hill 😊. I had a double room with shared bathroom that was basic but comfortable. We had a fabulous vegetable curry in the evening and the breakfast spread was great. Other bunkhouses should take some tips from here.

I booked in last minute while doing West Highland Way and found the most amazing oasis. Clean unfussy rooms, good clean facilities, delightful enthusiastic staff and the most wonderful bistro. Had a delicious curry for dinner and the breakfast spread was fabulous. I would highly recommend to anyone who would like simple high quality accomodation and food. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much to the team.

Großartig was sie aus der alten Kirche gemacht haben. Ein wirklich schönes Bunkhouse mit sehr viel Charme. Das Personal ist super freundlich und macht dir den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich. Das Essen ist der Hammer. Auch veganer kommen in den Genuss von gutem Essen. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder buchen!

Here now top place to stay all the staff are so helpful can strongly recommend rooms in bunkhouse suitable for your needs showers fantastic

Top class from start to finish. As soon as you walk through the door the staff are brilliant. The bistro is,beautiful the food,is,fantastic the staff are overwhelming Well done Mark and team Thanks again David Mcarthur Hamish

We stayed here as a group of 8 on our second night of the West Highland Way. Clean, basic accommodation - all we needed for an overnight stay. Staff were lovely, especially with giving us a lift up from the bottom of the hill. The restaurant area is beautiful. As a converted church, it still has the old stained glass windows and other features. Dinner was delicious, special mention for the venison stew, which was amazing. There is a shared shower block, which is a portakabin outside, which was clean and spacious. They provide a packed lunch to take with you for £6.

Awesome place! Great staff, brilliant food (haggis and tattie scone with pepper sauce was immense) and lovely room. Can’t fault this place!

We stayed here as a group of three in a triple room. The rooms are very small (bunk is three high) but we only needed somewhere to sleep so it suited perfectly. The room, shower (outside main building) and toilets are very clean. Not the quietest of environments to sleep in but that’s not the owners fault, just other guests being a little inconsiderate. One of the guys from the bunkhouse kindly picked us up when we called. It’s a long up hill road after a hard day of walking. The evening meal was excellent and very welcome after a day of walking. We also had breakfast which was great too. They offer a packed lunch which we didn’t try but we wish we had as I’ve heard it’s fantastic. I definitely recommend here for those walking the WHW.

Didn’t expect that. What a brilliant place! They did dinner for 12 of us on a busy night. Exactly the kind of food and beer you need after a long walk. Big portions, excellent haggis, venison stew and dumplings I could have eaten again if I’d not eaten my own body weight already. Made every one of us very happy. Thanks.

Camped here during my west highland way trip. Great set up with good facilities. The food was excellent and a great selection of drinks. The staff were superb and when they found out I was doing my walk for charity they even gave me a donation. Worth noting that they offer a pick up service from Inversnaid pier as the bunkhouse is a mile off the way.

We stayed at the bunkhouse as part of our West Highland Way hike. Be aware that the hotel is 800 meters uphill from the WHW. The hotel is very nice and build inside an old church which is kindda fun. The rooms are bunkhouse style (a bed) and bathroom is shared with the other guests. Prices are fair and the food (both dinner and breakfast) was great and plentiful. The hotel also have a good selection of craftsbeer! The hotel is small and fills up quickly in the high season so book in advance!

3 night stay. Great venue. Wonderful food Beautiful scenery. Great staff. Pete was fab with the kids

While doing the WHW we ate here in the evening. Food was really good in a comfortable environment. We had the curry and the Clachan dessert. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Good food and friendly staff. We had been there twice and excellent venison stew and tasty burgers. Feels that it was a good value.

Out exploring the Highlands of Scotland and came across Inversnaid Bunkhouse & Top Bunk Bistro. Staff were uniquely charismatic and helpful and the Bistro Restaurant producing food that was comparable with any London Gourmet Restaurant.

Really good artisan food. There is a fantastic new chef there now, so try the specials as they really know how to cook, and how to combine flavours. The atmosphere was great, there’s a dining space and a comfy lounge space, where folk who had been walking all day can sit and chat to other folk, and there is a really friendly welcoming atmosphere. The apple crumble was great. We had a really lovely meal there and are looking forward to going back. It’s a great place to have a meal and spend an evening.

Great food, great portions, you have to try the apple crumble omg best I've ever tasted!! friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, couldn't ask for more.

Heading to my accommodations which was just past here and stopped to ask about food. Lovely you lad, think it was Rob, took my booking and said I could come early and enjoy a drink. Arrived early and was met by Steve who couldn’t have done enough for me. Food was absolutely amazing. I had a burger and have to say haven’t had a burger as good as this ever. Would love to give this place a 10. Great to have people so happy pleasant and helpful. Amazing. Will defo be back and highly recommend to everyone. The surrounding are awesome. A beautiful building with all the original windows still there

Came here for the restaurant. The owners made an effort to accommodate us on short notice, for which we are grateful. We had dinner here on our way to Loch Arklet Guest House. Good vegan options, and good service too, with nice atmosphere. A bit pricey for what it is. The curry was a bit tasteless.

I stayed here for one night, and I'd definitely come back again. It's well equipped for anyone who is walking the West Highland Way with lots of little extras such as wi-fi; laundry service; hot tub and you can order a packed lunch for the next day. You don't have to be a walker, if you're looking for somewhere reasonably priced with good facilities - this ticks all the boxes. The bunkhouse is situated in an old church and upstairs in the bistro you can still see the stained glass windows and the old beams. The food was well presented and very tasty. I had the venison burger which came with chips and salad and there was plenty of it - no stingy portions here! There was also a good variety of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. The staff were very friendly and made sure that everyone was well looked after.

We visited the bistro for dinner twice and the food was delicious both times. There were various vegetarian options and the portions were large and very tasty...great meals to follow cold day of walking. The bistro is based in an old church and the decor...

Staying up the road at Stronachlachar, decided to drive to Inversnaid and check out this establishment for a possible dinner later on. Arrived at 12:30 and got out of the car to look at a menu etc, immediately greeted by a black haired woman who...

Great place to stay, affordable prices, fully recommend. Room was clean and warm. Also they had very good wifi.

We arrived in Inversnaid late in the evening and had wondered down to the hotel at the bottom of the road to Loch Lomond. They had however stopped serving food and told us to sit in an outer room away from the bar. Not happy...

The I Bunkhouse was in a perfect location and was immaculate.The man serving us dinner, I believe Lesley was lovely and friendly with fun thrown in.HOWEVER after ordering desert after mains at approx. 20.45,the chef replied to the waiter “tell them to f*** off, ordering...

After waiting a considerable time the meals were well worth the wait as they were delicious and at a reasonable cost....very friendly staff

If going for dinner make sure you book a table so as not to be disappointed. The food was lovely and staff were great - we’ll be back. The Top Bunk Bistro is open to non residents - we cycled to the Bistro for dinner...

Lovely relaxed friendly atmosphere and great quality affordable food. Just the best. Well done Bunk House. This is exactly the sort of food place this country needs more of. Well, well done.

Great staff here, so helpful delaying our booking as we were late after walking a strenuous part of the West Highland Way. Lovely food and very friendly, thank you

Great place just off the WHW and worth the wander up the bank to find it the rooma are pipping clean and the showers etc superb at the end of a long days hiking and the food was excellent value for money what more can...

We both had the mackrel pate and the beef and ale casserole. Food was delicious. Good social distancing on the seating. Dining is in the old chapel - interesting atmosphere. Enjoyed our meal - much appreciated as walking West Highland Way.

Had a great night after great walk from Rowardennan to Inversnaid. Stevie the host really makes the place warm and welcoming. Food was great as well. Would highly recommend it to anyone

Sadly Covid meant no transport available between WHW and Hostel so arrived very tired from long hard leg on WHW, however warm welcome at hostel. Highly recommend the food which is good value

Super friendly staff and great food in a really nice atmosphere. Welcoming to hikers with tired legs and muddy boots.

We were camping on the site and had our evening meal here. The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Wonderful overnight here with super friendly staff and owners. Food great and decor amazing.will definitely come back even if only to eat in the Bistro.

Een heerlijk, relaxt plekje waar je in de gezellige woonruimte een glas kan drinken, praten met andere reizigers en een...

We visited here with our friends and the food was lovely! I ate the baked Camembert and the Thai Curry with chicken and the food was faultless. The only thing I would add is that although the service was great our waitress took some of...

Stopped here for a night on the west highland way. Arrived early n had to wait for the room told it was ready but floor needed to dry. An hour later. Only because another person asked if we were ok. Our room was nice but...

stopped here for one night...that was enough....not enough toilets, the rooms were very basic and could do with a refurbish.....there was only one ladies toilet with a shower and this had to accommodate all the rooms plus the campsite a bit grim in the middle...

Stopped for a quite snack and noticed the treacle and fruit scones. Boy, did these hit the spot. Lovely to sit outside in the sunshine watching the world go by.

The building and bistro space upstairs is very impressive and we enjoyed using the hot tub but the bathrooms and self-catering kitchen was really quite grim. Really badly in need of a good clean. Also, a proper cycle store would have been appreciated given we...

Only had a brief stop-over here but absolutely loved it. The drive in from the north is spectacular. Loch Lomond, Loch Arklet and Loch Katrine all very close. Lovely atmosphere. Comfy room. Nice little bar area to relax in and food all looked great. Staff...

Accomodation clean and comfortable. Food tasty and good size portions. Staff friendly with great service. Lovely atmosphere in the evenings with good opportunities to make new friends and talk about your WHW adventures.

We ate here one evening while staying in Stronachlachar. Beautiful converted Church with very simple furnishings. Good home cooked food perfect after a wet and chill day in the Trossachs. I especially loved the apple and rhubarb crumble.

Kirche als Hotel! TOP für WHW Wanderer... man wird vom Shuttleservice abgeholt-gratis, da das Bunkhous etwas oberhalb liegt

This was the only meal in 7 days that I would say had enough vegetables and potatoes as part of the meal. Good value, able to buy a beer too, very welcome after a long hard walk!

Good food, drink and service in a comfortable setting. This converted building is very attractive with a friendly feel.

Won't be here again. Staff are lovely. Accommodation very basic and very cramped. No room to swing a cat! Food is only average and my friend had to send hers back as it was cold! And I do mean cold. I had nachos to start...

The atmosphere is very charming and quite special and cosy as well. The food is very good, especially the dessert (we had a cake that night).

Wé just stopped to eat on our way to Glencoe. Food was excellent, fast served and the boss extremelly sympathetic. Good sélection of local and international alcohol. Even Castro the dog was nice !

Good choice of dishes for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike, friendly staff and atmosphere, very nice food. Great day to round off a long day walking.

Food is wonderful and friendly service. Also bar is open late so good to relax with a drink, lovely food and great prices. Thank you

The location was beautiful and the food good quality and value for money. I would certainly eat there again without hesitation.

A bistro above a bunkhouse. An unusual setting for a bistro and a long drive to get there but worth it. A small menu but the quality of the food is outstanding. The food is all home cooked and is superb. Prices are good. A...

We found it on our way back from a first holiday walk in Scotland, , in the rain, great welcome done by the house dog , very friendly owner , great food , it was a perfect lunch in an old chapel, nice and cosy...

Al termine del duro percorso sul loch lomond siamo arrivati in questo bunkhouse. Posto molto caratteristico in perfetto stile scozzeze....

Helped us get started on this leg of the West Highland Way. Excellent food, a poached local trout, a good selection of beers, nice atmosphere. All in all a winner

Muy buena comida. Lo que probamos estaba muy rico. Para el que se aloje y desayune alli, es muy completo....

Nice location on the top floor of an old church. Excellent food for a reasonable price and a great selection of beers and other drinks.

We didn't stay in the bunkhouse itself but in one of the self catering apartments that are marketed through their website, we did though eat at the bistro for dinner and breakfast. Firstly let me say that the level of service was above and beyond,...

I felt myself very welcome when I first came in. :) The staff is super great and friendly and do everything you would feel comfortable and well. Food is good and portions are big. You should absolutely take a Scottish breakfast while you are there,...

We were walking alongside Loch Arklet and passed this converted church which looked very inviting. So on the return journey we stopped in for just a coffee as we had eaten our lunch already but the food looked and smelt terrific. The coffee was great...

If visiting Inversnaid you must visit this place, delicious home made food in fab location and the host was very friendly. Such a quaint little place.

After we managed to walk a day with 28km of distance, we finally arrived at Immversnaid. We used the offered pick up service,which only tool 3-4 mins to come. The dinner was pretty good and the beer even better. And we had the chance to...

Unfortunately only stayed here one night whilst walking the West Highland Way. Obviously rooms are pretty basic but adequate for the price. Staff very friendly and welcoming, took time to ask our names and remember them, food was plentiful and delicious - 3 Sunday Roasts...

A old church on top of a hill very walker friendly, you will feel surrounded with like minded people. The beds are not the best but the rest makes it a all wurth it.

a really good stay at this bunkhouse whilst completing the west highland way. staff were excellent and a very friendly atmosphere. i had a 4 man room to myself. food was really good, and an excellent breakfast is available. it is advisable to ring the...

Called here based on previous reviews for a snack - ordered the stew, which was huge. Huge chunks of beef, carrot, potatoes. Half-wished it was snowy to get the full benefit of this hearty meal.

Stayed for one night whilst walking the West Highland Way. 3 bedded room very small but adequate. Food excellent and staff very helpful. Great getting a lift up from the Inversnaid Hotel, definitely needed after a 22 mile day. Would definitely recommend.

A place to visit if you are in the surroundings. An old church adapted as hostel and bistro in the '80s of the last century. The service is very friendly, no draught beer but good choice of bottled locally brewed. Atmosphere very much of a...

Kitchen is opened only for couple hours. Staff is unfriendly. Room door doesn't have any lock. Exactly at 10:00 everybody is kicked of the rooms. Hostel not clean and they don't care about nature.

6 of us in the party 4 adults 2 kids and we were made to feel welcome from the minute we entered the food was out of this world starters main courses and desserts were out of this world and the prices wouldn't break the...

Great food!! Excellent service, the staff at the Bunkhouse goes the extra mile without even trying. This is where you want to stay and eat. Did I mention the Haggis and beer??. Lush!!!

The food was freshly cooked to order and very tasty. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff at dinner and breakfast time. A good stock of beer in the fridge too to compliment the meal

We wanted to have a quick lunch between boats during our Loch Lomand cruise. The hotel on the shore looked a bit tired so we decided to walk up the hill to The Bunkhouse. After a 20 min walk up a very steep hill with...

This quiet area between Loch Lomond and Loch Arklet requires some effort to get to, so this bistro is a very welcome sight. If it was city centre the prices could be double and still thought a gem. The West Highland Way passes less than...

Stayed overnight whilst doing WHWay. Fabulous food, friendly service and lovely room in log cabin. Would def go back and stay.

Food and staff were great (how do they manage this given the remote location?) We ate with visitors old and young(ish)and they were very happy. The scenery is outstanding and the effort of getting there well worthwhile. It compares with very good city standards for...

This refurbished church is a fabulous place for lunch. Great food and friendly service. Highly recommended.

I am a bit late in writing a review, as I stayed here in May this year, but after reading the others I wanted to add mine. I absolutely loved this place and rave about it to my husband all the time. It was the...

Stayed here a couple of times and not convinced. This place tends to be used by West Highland Way walkers, whom, I am sure are the target customer. First up. There are signs down on the way which tell you to phone the Bunkhouse and...

Restaurant ok, service good, food very acceptable (would have been brilliant after a day walking the west highland way !!) Wine reasonable. Really no chocie but to eat there as you are in the middle of nowhere

Stayed here twice whilst doing the West Highland Way. Amazing architecture inside. Great food and service and lots of choice of good and drink. Plenty to read and TV with DVD player if required.

have stayed here a number of times on the west highland way walk after failing to get accommodation at the inversnaid hotel who i have found to be really sniffy about walkers-the bunkhouse offers basic sleeping accommodation and a superb bistro above with amazing selection...

We have just returned from a holiday in Sronachlachar, approximately 4 beautiful miles from the Inversnaid Bunkhouse & Bistro. Before arrival I had looked on the internet to find eating establishments in the local area and this place looked a little different. On our first...

Quite an extensive menu catering for all tastes and budgets. Great Food. Friendly service. The bistro is situtated in a converted church, complete with stained-glass windows.

The accommodation is basic, but comfortable and my only gripe would be that the doors rattle when opened and this meant a broken night with campers coming in and out. The food is delicious and the staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming.
