    great view
    friendly hosts
    excellent breakfast
    tight bathroom
    wifi issues

    The view over the loch was amazing, and the room was comfy and decorated really nice. Breakfast was so good, almost like being at a fancy hotel. We really appreciated that they catered for my wife's gluten-free needs perfectly. Trevor and catrina were super cute and helped us with everything.

    the bathroom was kinda tight and the wifi had some issues at times.

    fine lake views
    good hosts
    drippy bathroom

    What a gem! The location was perfect, with fine lake views, and our family room had space galore. Catriona and Trevor were just good.

    But dear me, the bathroom had a bit of a 'drippy' personality! I half-expected it to turn into a water feature at any moment.

    Amazing Honeymoon Base!

    The hosts left us a nice bottle of prosecco in our room and gave solid tips for exploring. Our room was super comfy, clean, and had an awesome view of the loch. The stroll to town was quick, but the breakfast could've had more options.

    packed breakfast
    local area

    Just an optimal selection for a brief sojourn in Fort William with extraordinarily good value for money. They kindly prepared us a packed breakfast for our early hike up Ben Nevis, a lifesaver. Make sure to explore the local area-it's fine!

    Amazing views and comfy stay

    Had a one night stay, and it was awesome! The views of the loch were fine, even with the cloudy weather. Trevor was super friendly at check-in, and our room was huge with lovely views all around. Breakfast was freshly cooked, loved that! Only wish there was more parking space. A fab spot!
