I had an incredible stay at this charming bed and breakfast. The room looked just like the photos, everything was exactly as advertised. It was spotless and well-organized, providing a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. The view from the window was stunning, showcasing beautiful gardens and distant mountains that added to the serene environment. The continental breakfast was superb, with a wide range of fresh and tasty options to start the day. The host was incredibly warm, friendly, and accommodating, always available to answer questions and offer great recommendations for local attractions.

We had an amazing 2 night stay at the B&B. Hosts were extremely accommodating and welcoming, going above and beyond to give us a peaceful and enjoyable experience. Immaculate room which was spacious with an en suite bathroom. Beautiful scenery and easy access to local stores. Definitely would recommend especially for hikers who are looking for accommodation close to Ben Nevis! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would love to visit again in the future

We used Fort William as our base and stayed here for 2 nights. Tom and Sini were super hosts - friendly, welcoming and offered great suggestions of things to do around the area. As we checked out, I mentioned I still haven’t seen a highland coo, to which Tom gave us directions to find one (see photo :)).The en-suite rooms were clean and comfortable, shower water was on an electric geyser so instantly hot, decently sized for the area. Our room window opened up to incredible views of the loch! You could watch the morning mist roll away.The breakfast was exactly what we needed - continental (cereals, fruit, pastries, toast, hot and cold drinks).

Very friendly and welcoming hosts. The room was very nice with a beautiful view. There is also a shared living room and a dining room for breakfast (cold breakfast). The location of the B&B is perfect for all kinds of outdoor activities and restaurants in Fort William are within walking distance (15min). Definitely recommended.

Absolutely gorgeous B&B. Quiet location out of the road, super clean interior. What stands out is the alttitude of the hosts, such a lovely family trying to make our stay awesome and willing to help out. Kings-worthy breakfast as well as refreshments available during the day. Bit pricy for Scotland but not for the area. Totally recommend to visit you won't regret it!

We had a great experience! The owners were so wonderful and kind and even drove us to the train station the morning we left when it was cold and rainy. The breakfasts were very generous and nice and the owners were always present when we ate. They clearly work very hard! We definitely recommend staying here to anyone visiting in the area.

Sinimol place was amazing for our stay. We just stayed one night during our journey in Highland, the room is very cosy, nice and clean. The common area is also clean. Hosts replied very quickly, and they have great flexibility for guest’s comfortable stay. Next morning, we had beautiful scene from the window facing the peaceful lake that made us peaceful too. And you will experience the very Scottish design in the place. Breakfast is also included, it is a very nice gesture for guests.Overall, we were happy in Sinimol’s place. Highly recommend this place.

My week long stay at the Blythedale bed and breakfast in Fort William was truly delightful, thanks to both the stunning view of Loch Linnhe and the warm hospitality of the hostess. The view from my room was spectacular—Loch Linnhe stretched out before me, its waters calm and shimmering under the ever-changing Scottish sky. Each day, I found myself captivated by the sight of the surrounding mountains reflected in the loch, especially during sunrise and sunset when the colors were most vibrant.The hostess was equally impressive, providing service that was both professional and genuinely welcoming. From the moment I arrived, she gave helpful advice on local attractions and making sure I had everything I needed.Overall, the combination of the breathtaking view and the exceptional service provided by the hostess made my stay in Fort William an unforgettable experience.

My partner and I stayed at blythedale house recently whilst travelling through the west of Scotland including the isle of Skye.Sini greeted us at the beginning of our one night stay and was friendly whilst showing us the facilities.The room was recently decorated and clean and tidy. We had a good night's sleep and the breakfast was cereal and tea.I would recommend this to travellers visiting by car as there is parking spaces and a nice view of the water.
