Lovely hotel, very nice well equipped rooms
Wayne, 1-night trip

Nice and clean room, good location and modern
Amy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The super king size bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was really cosy. Went up to Fort William from Edinburgh for a birthday trip and had a hike round Glencoe. The cosiness and heating in the room meant we were able to warm up quickly when returning to the hotel. We were also left a lovely bottle of bubbly and a birthday card! Thank you so much for this! Small details make such a big difference<3

Nice stay at a simple, clean hotel with a cool theme. The room was a bit tight for two, but very quiet at night. Windows opened wide for fresh air which was nice.

Ramji, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Only given 3 stars for breakfast because we never had it and i was unable to select anything else. Very nice hotel clean and restful. Defo recommend and would stay again. Staff nice and helpful so very good. One observation is the shower cubicle is really dark inside and a child i think would not like it. Thats the only downside

Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The apartments are high up a hill with great view of Loch Linnhe. The apt kitchen was well equipped and included a washer dryer. Excellent dining options are a short walk, as are interesting and useful stores. Fort William is central to many of the things the Highlands has to offer.
