The room we stayed in was spacious, clean and generally very comfortable. If you book the right one, you even get a little outdoor terrace and an amazing view of Ben Nevis :) . The owner gave us a warm welcome and some good tips for places to visit. Can definitely recommend!

The room was nicely equipped and clean with the most gorgeous view from a private seating area. It was a shame we were only there one night.You are given a code to collect your key and therefore it is a very simple check in process.Would recommend to anyone staying in the area. It was less expensive than the Premier inn and is much better value. I say that as someone who does like booking premier inns.

Our room & en suite bathroom were comfortable and clean (with plenty of space for our large suitcases) and we especially appreciated the host’s kindness and hospitality! Additionally, we didn’t book breakfast, but our room still came with a kettle + tea, oatmeal, & granola bars which we thought that was a nice touch. Thank you Smaxi!

Beautiful place to stay with stunning view! The rooms have enough space to move around and are spotless! Very clean and tidy.Clear and easy instruction to get the keys.The location is great and very convenient.The only downside is that for a bed and breakfast, there's no actual breakfast offered.Instant coffee/tea, instant porridge and a cereal bar.

I recently stayed at this Bed and Breakfast just a few miles from Fort William. There are plenty of restaurants nearby after enjoying hiking in the area. It was very easy to self check in with the instructions given by management. The views from the room to Ben Nevis were beautiful. The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast consisted of tea, instant coffee, instant oatmeal and yogurt bars in the room. There is a refrigerator also which we used. The place was decorated beautifully and very modern. My only suggestion would be a bar handle in the shower or some kind of non slip material.

Lovely quiet B&B with the most amazing views of Ben Nevis. The rooms and communal areas were spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds and powerful shower which was much needed after a day on the mountains. Plenty of on site parking and great outdoor seating areas for enjoying the evening sun. The perfect base for exploring the highlands, All round 10/10 from us.
