From start to finish a lovely welcoming stay. Last minute change the facilities and accommodation were exactly as described. Would recommend the hosts and staff were excellent. Nice freshly cooked breakfast served at our table. Nothing was an inconvenience. Loved the free standing bath.

We have just returned from a 4 day stay. We really enjoyed our stay here. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. The location is great only 2 mins walk from the centre. The observatory is a lovely building with its own history which was interesting to learn about. Rooms are lovely with fresh towels daily. Would definitely like to stay here again.

Touch of luxury
Beautiful room with a view over the loch. Great bathroom with shower and claw-foot bath. This stay was a touch of luxury in so many ways.
The hosts were fabulous. I was travelling with my mum and Trevor responded to questions fast and in detail, providing a ground floor room on request and info about taxis and eating places. A great place to know about and we will definitely return.

The room was clean and warm, breakfast was excellent and the location of the guest house was ideal for our stay in Fort William. A great place to stay if you're visiting Fort william.
