Neptune's Staircase is a stunning backdrop here. For the price, the accommodation was superb, though it wasn't four-star quality, and the price didn't suggest it was. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and couldn't do enough for our group of five. Breakfast was superb, and the pub meal was perfectly fine for what it cost.

The views of Ben Nevis and the locks were lovely, and after leaving the travel lodge I had my best night's sleep here. The place was clean and tidy, though very dated. Food was okay, and I had to coax the shower into working.

The room looked out over a lovely, peaceful view of the Locks - Neptune's Staircase. It was spacious and spotless, and we stayed two nights. The team were welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive from arrival to departure. They were especially wonderful with my son, which made the stay easier and more fun for us. The location was perfect for exploring.

The scenic location was the only positive for us. The rooms were very cramped, there were no lifts, and there was nothing else I could mention positively. Breakfast was bland for my whole family, and despite paying for full board, the hotel charged extra even for coffee. It was very disappointing, and the place seemed understaffed. Never again for us.
