This was our third stop on the West Highland Way. It is ideally situated for this as 'The Way' passes right by the entrance to the Hostel and campsite. On arrival, checking in was easy and fast. The reception also includes a small shop where some food and essential items can be purchased. The receptionist was welcoming and told us... More

We stayed here at the end of day 4 of our walk. We had difficulty finding somewhere which would take a dog so the cabin here was ideal ..and right next to the WHW. We were welcomed by a very nice lady who explained where everything was and gave us the biggest towels we had on the whole walk! The... More

The perfect place to stop off if you're running or walking the West Highland Way. A really quiet and clean hostel with good showering facilities and a great kitchen/common room area. The owners have been spending time and money improving the camping and campervan areas and the "Hobbit Huts" and chalets give you that little bit extra if required. A... More

Amazing quiet campsite and hostel. In the middle of the village of Tyndrum but away from the main Road, so no traffic noise. Really clean and very relaxed atmosphere. Owners couldn't be more helpful and would love to have stayed longer. Perfect :-)

What an excellent place to stay. I have stayed in the Hostel several times and would highly recommend it, comfy beds, lovely hot showers and a nice big kitchen area, and very reasonably priced. An ideal base for bagging the local Munros or somewhere to stop over if walking ( or running ) the West Highland Way, where the Hostel... More

A great place to stay after a long day's running or walking, after all there is nothing better than a good hot shower and a comfortable bed to sleep in. The facilities are good and it's very reasonably priced. I will always use By The Way when I'm in the area.

Just spent a few days at bytheway, i visit this site quite a lot, tried the new motorhome park and found it perfect, the tv point and free wi-fi are an added bonus. The owners have put a lot of effort into making it a great place to stay, and i will definitely be returning soon.

Very nice little site. We stayed in one of the camping cabins which was very small, but we made it work. Luckily our little heater worked, but our friends in the cabin next door weren't so lucky. The kitchen is in desperate need of an upgrade, but was at least clean. The drying room was excellent!!

Many thanks for your comments. I would like to apologise about the heater that did not work in your friends' cabin. We would gladly have moved the people to another cabin if we had known. The heater has now been replaced. Kirsty More

Staff very accommodating and friendly Location excellent for walkers In one of the cabins it was lovely and clean and had a small but pretty inefficient heater and as it was a very cold night I was glad i had a warm sleeping bag Would certainly recommend for fellow walkers

Stayed in one of the Hobbit Houses - can't fault them as they have everything you need - kettle, microwave, T.V. and heating. These would be ideal for families with young children as the single beds in them are a touch too small for great comfort if you are walking the WHW without children. Nice and handy for the Green...
