Facilities: The Cottage can accommodate 18 people in two dormitories (10 & 8). There are separate male and female toilets, both with a shower. There is also a small drying facility for wet gear. Over the past three years, the cottage has been extensively upgraded to make it perhaps the best-appointed mountaineering club hut in Scotland. WiFi Internet via FON is available at the cottage. This is free to BT Total Broadband and FON users. All utensils, crockery and cutlery are provided, but you will require sleeping bags. If you wish to use the open fire in the lounge, you will need to bring solid fuel. Electricity is included in the charge.

Nearby hills: Several Munros and Corbetts can be reached by walking from the cottage: Cruach Ardrain, Ben More, Stob Binnein, Ben Challum, Meall Glas, and Sgiath Chuil. For those with transport, all of the Arrochar, Crianlarich, Ben Lawers, Tyndrum and Bridge of Orchy hills are within 30 minutes drive, with Glen Coe and Glen Etive only marginally further. The West Highland Way passes through Crianlarich, and there are numerous pleasant tours for road or mountain cycling.

A double Munro compleation will hopefully be taking place at this meet. Penny TWD (first round) and Graeme Morrison (third round).
