The hotel is nice but it is just a hotel. It was clean. With beds for the three of us there was not much room to maneuver but we made it work. We enjoyed a great meal in the pub.

Rooms are super clean. Exterior of hotel was in need of some paint and upkeep. Just stayed for 1 night passing through the highlands. Great lake views, didn’t eat at hotel. The one thing that noticed is when walking in the hallway you can hear inside the rooms.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Unusual place - bar and dining room was extra large with plenty of room, nice colours, comfy chairs. I think they were understaffed as they were pretty busy during dinner service. The rooms, although clean, was like stepping back 50 years in time. It was great that you could open the window as there was no air movement. A fan would've been handy. Tea, coffee, hair dryer all good. I thought for certain that i had booked with breakfast included for our 2 days but apparently not. I'll need to check that again when i get home. It's a little way out from Fort William and the view out the front of the building was stunning. Would i stay here again, yes probably, now that I know what to expect.
