The Ben Lomond Bunkhouse is situated at Ardess Lodge, Rowardennan. It is part of the National Trust for Scotland Ranger Station at the base of Ben Lomond, a short stroll off the beaten track of the West Highland Way. It is a comfortable bunkhouse, ideal for groups of up to ten people who are looking for affordable, private and quiet accommodation. The cost is £22 per person per night for April-September, otherwise £20.
Downstairs there is a spacious lounge with log burning stove and large dining, well equipped kitchen. Drying facilities are on site, as is a secure area for bag drop off and pick up. Upstairs you have two good sized bunkrooms, one sleeping six and one sleeping four. There are two bathrooms, one with shower and one with shower and bath.
The profits from the bunkhouse help support the work done by the National Trust for Scotland Rangers, Path team and volunteers who care for Ben Lomond and manage the conservation programme for the area
