On site breakfast was very good. Parking was convenient. Room was quiet and we felt comfortable. Nothing too fancy but a good value for the price we paid. Fort Willaim is a nice town with some good shops and pubs but unfortunately the “fort” was torn down for the railroad a hundred years ago.

Lovely hotel. Receptionist,Ria, was very efficient ,helpful ,polite and very friendly. She made us feel very welcome and answered all our questions about the area. Ria and the girls in the bar who served us not only looked after us but our wee dog was treated very well and given lots of love. The hotel is nice but the staff make it a place that we would definately return to.

Good location and great view of loch. I did drive by the place as I missed the sign. The property could use a refresh, but “come for the food” - they had a really nice 3 course menu - the dining room staff very friendly and attentive - the food was very good.
