What a relaxing stay! Our room was very clean and looked to have been updated recently. The toiletries provided were lovely. The light breakfast and espresso was greatly appreciated! It was so nice to come back to a quiet, comfortable room after hiking all day. Thank you for the hospitality!

Our room at The Willows exceeded our expectations. Everything was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious and well appointed. There was plenty of space for luggage and personal items. The toiletries were lovely. The breakfast snacks provided in the room were great. There were dishes and cutlery to use. I would highly recommend The Willows to everyone!

We had an amazing experience at the Willows. The hosts were very nice, provided us with everything we needed. The room was cleaned daily. The location is perfect: right in front of the lake and not far away from different restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend a few days in Fort William.

Fort Williams’ main commercial strip with the restaurants is only a few minutes walk from The Willows, and the riverfront guesthouse is very well located for a daytrip to the beautiful Glencoe Valley or Ben Nevis. …

The room is very spacious and clean. The bathroom is a 10 out of 10 for me along with the porridge and coffee supplied each morning. Large TV in the corner and plenty of space to spread out. Just loved it.Within 10 mins walk of High Street and situated across the road from the Loch. It is quiet and easily accessible. The start of the walk up to Cow Hill is less than 5 min walk away. Plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance of The Willows.

Very good B&B, our room was large, very clean and the bathroom was like in a 5 star hotel. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast not served but basic breakfast was available in the room. The view from the house at the lake is fantastic and the the city centre is only a short walk.

Most of the accommodation in Fort William fronts onto the A82, which is a fairly busy road.  …
