Be careful when accessing the property. The road is the queuing line for the ferry. If there's a line, check to see if ferry is present - as there may be vehicles coming off. If the ferry is not present, the right lane may be used to access the Corran Bunkhouse entrance.

Gem in Onich
This place is truly a gem. From the location to the services. There is a common lounge and dining area where you can relax, unwind and cook meals. They provide laundry facilities too. The rooms and bathroom are clean and spacious.

They give you a nice tour of the property and facilities, explaining all you’d need in your time there. We were just passing through, on our way between Isle of Skye and Edinburgh, after a Ben Nevis hike. They took their time with us and each guest checking in, and the rooms had all what one might need, and was super clean and neat. Great value and thoughtful inn, with people that clearly care about those in their care.

Corran Bunkhouse is an outstanding place to stay at! This quaint bunkhouse located by the sea is really organized and well run. Helena was super friendly and helpful! She was very informative and well organized. The kitchen is well equipped for all your needs. Laundry facilities was nice to have as well. The room was small but very clean and the amenities (like arrival chocolate, cookies) was a nice touch. The shared lounge room is spacious, bright and clean. The only difficulty we had was turning off the heat at night (didn't know quite how to do it or if it's possible). Overall would definitely come back if I ever go back to Scotland.

Dear Cristina, many thanks for your lovely review and for staying with us. Halina is lovely and we pride ourselves on our facilities, cleanliness and customer service. Most of our rooms have radiators, which have thermostats that can be turned from 1 (low) to 5 (hot). Our Superior rooms have underfloor heating, which means that rooms are generally around 20C. For cooling, all our rooms have great midge screens on the windows, so that you can open windows knowing that midges are not going to get into your room! When you don't know how something works, just come to the Reception and we'll pleased to help you. That goes for tourist information as well. We hope that you enjoyed the rest of your holiday and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Kind Regards, Alan.

Its a hostel.
Bunkhouse =hostel. It was incredibly noisy in the room. Could hear neighbors snoring and peeing and flushing.... old mattresses. Would be fine if i hadnt expected a proper hotel with a bathroom door that will shut for privacy.
Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022
Response from Alan (Owner) on 25 Jun 2022
Dear Guest, yes, we are a hostel and the perfect place to stay for anyone who appreciates a great place to stay for great value for money, in the lovely West Highlands of Scotland. We are graded 5 Star by VisitScotland. You should read what accommodation providers write about their properties before you book as it is generally very accurate. The room is not noisy and the mattresses are only a year old, with toppers, to add extra comfort to your sleep. The bathroom door is completely opaque, to aid your privacy. Instead of booking using price as your only criteria, I encourage you to consider what you actually want - then you will be in for a shock as you will have to adjust your budget significantly.

Response from Alan (Owner) on 11 Jun 2022
Dear Catherine, thank-you for staying with us. The slanted ceiling is standard in the Highlands and the low part is over the bed. Where you move around the room (which is well proportioned) the room is full height. The room had three single beds in it & is a good size, with a generous ensuite shower room. When you consider all the other spaces that you get (and didn't mention) such as great lounge, kitchens, dining rooms, drying rooms, not to mention the great outdoor areas, we believe that staying at the Corran Bunkhouse is fantastic value for money.

Dear Guillaume, thank-you for your review! The noise that you referred to was due to a family arriving late (around 10:30pm), in the room above the one that you stayed in. Their children were excited & briefly made a little noise as they settled down. You mentioned to us that the noise didn't last for long. Normally people arrive by 9:30pm. Kind Regards, Alan.

The most exceptional team!
The Bunkhouse is an ideal base for exploring Glencoe - just a short drive to attractions such as the Three Sisters, lochs, Buachille Etive Mor, and hiking trails. Add in extra facilities such as the communal kitchen (stocked with appliances, pots, and pans to make meals), laundry, a comfortable lounge area, and the peaceful setting, and you really can’t beat this place! The room I stayed in was spacious, clean, had a shower with excellent pressure, plenty of outlets, and a comfortable bed. I had a bad experience during my stay - my hire car broke down, my phone wasn't working, and the rental company left me stranded! Even though I had already checked out of the Bunkhouse from my stay the previous night, the team went out of their way to assist me wherever they could. Alan (the Manager) gave me his phone to use for hours, and let me stay in the communal area all day to keep warm and have access to bathrooms, tea/water, and wifi. He even offered to drive me to Glasgow on his way to the airport so I could get closer to Edinburgh where the rental company was located! I declined as they were sending a replacement car to me (which never came). After 10 hours, countless phone calls, and many tears, Julie (at reception) ended up organizing her daughter to drive me to Edinburgh!! The Bunkhouse is already a fantastic place to stay, but it is the hospitality and kindness of the team that makes it a truly exceptional place to stay. Thank you again to all of you for looking after me.

The Bunkhouse was a quiet and quaint space with a handy location. The room was finished to a terrific standard and was certainly cleaned well. It gives you great access to the Highlands and islands and the corran ferry literally couldn't be any closer. The communal area was well equipped for cooking and had everything to make a great cuppa after a long day exploring. We didn't get to try to eatery's delights nearby but I'm sure it would be worth a try if it matches the standard of the Bunkhouse

Dear Fanny, thank-you for your review and for staying with us. Regarding the price, you clearly have not researched any of the choices in our area, otherwise you would not have made the comment about price. We are extremely good value for money in the Highlands and I suggest that you do better research before booking your accommodation in future. The room is also very well sound insulated. You need to book a separate house if you want 100% quiet! The room is very spacious, well equipped and has easy access - most people love this room. There are two walk-to pubs/restaurants near-by. To be able to use them, you must arrive early enough for them to be open. Kind Regards

Dear Yvonne, thank-you for staying with us. The sloped ceiling in your room is typical of the building code in the area (although a lot of your room is full height, with great views towards the loch) and our guests are normally very quiet. It is strange, because you stayed with us for 3 nights (3 weeks ago) and never once mentioned this. There's not much chance of us helping out with the noise if you don't tell us at the time.
