Having now stayed at Strathfillan I thought others might be interested to hear first-hand about the site.

Firstly, the facilities.

There are only two showers and 5 toilets. The showers are £1 for 8 minutes, but they are clean, and have a decent area of shelving to put your stuff to keep it dry. I personally preferred paying for those than using the free but filthy ones at Applecross.

The kitchen area isn't very large, but there is a cooker, a fridge, a couple of toasters, electric kettles and plenty of cooking and eating equipment. There are also a washing machine and a tumble dryer, each costing 20p for ten minutes.

There is also a computer for internet access, £1 for 30 minutes.

The shop doesn't open very early..............9am...............but can provide bacon rolls etc and tea and coffee. It has a limited amount of foodstuffs for sale. You can also buy wood and peat for your wigwam fires.

The small wigwams ARE small. They are a squeeze for 4 people and all their luggage. Would be more comfortable for 3 people, and very nice for two people. They have a heater, and an electric socket. You can park your bikes right outside the door, and each one has it's own picnic table and fire bin.

The bad news is, the taxi service will no longer be available. Monday was the guys last day.
