Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Locaed in the centre of Mallaig, close to shops, pubs and restaurants, also train station and ferry terminal. Room was basic, with clean bedding and heating that works very well. Would stay again!
United KingdomConveniently located and pleasant outside area overlooking harbour. Very helpful staff.
United KingdomThe property is hard to miss if you are coming into the town through rail. From the room I was staying in, I could see the ticket counter and the rails. Considering that the trains are few, there is no issue with noise. Mallaig is as such a small town, so the location doesn't really matter. The Co-op store is next door and the sea is just a few minutes' walk (though it isn't actually a beach). The landlady was a cheerful person who took time to take me around the property in spite of my just staying over for the night.
IndiaThe location was perfect. Directly at the end of the ferry pier and across the street from the train station. Room was very clean and had the best pillow and warmest, fluffiest comforter of my travels! The showers were very clean and hot and had plenty of room. My hostess was so kind and friendly and it was exactly what I needed coming into town. Also, the grocery store is directly next to the bunk room. Couldn't be more convenient!
United States of AmericaLovely family run place, in a great location. Very clean and comfortable.
CanadaThe location was right across from the train station, which was convenient for traveling by train. The staff was warm and welcoming and even sent me a text to check in with me before I arrived.
United States of AmericaThe bathroom was nice and clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Very conveniently located next to the station and the ferry.
LuxembourgStaff at the Mission Bunkhouse were lovely on arrival and I really appreciated all the advice on what to do and where to eat in town. I was given a short, simple tour of the bunkhouse, which provided all the amenities I required for my one night stay. It was the perfect place for a solo traveller at the end of the West Highland Line.
AustraliaIf you want a clean, low cost room, convenient for the ferry and railway, this is place. Improved recently in facilities. Cook your own food at the kitchen.
United States of AmericaThe property located just 3 minute walk from the ferry, and the parking was also close and free. The staff was very helpful and warm-hearted
