The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. The place was clean and had a great lake view. Parking was included and they included a wonderful breakfast. Our room/bathroom was very nice but small. It wasn’t the room I thought I had booked. It had sloped attic roofs that don’t work well for my 6’3” husband and I felt claustrophobic. I would stay here again because the owners and breakfast were great, but I would be sure to get a larger room with higher ceilings.

Great place to stay if you are exploring Glencoe area. Incredibly kind hosts, great view, and perfect breakfast before heading out for the day. Would recommend this location as it’s close to Glencoe and another town 10minutes away that was awesome for dinner and shopping. We loved it here :)

We had a lovely time at Hillview Guest House. It’s right across from the Loch and has the most gorgeous views. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a great breakfast offering and gracious hosts. Will come back if we get the chance.

A excellent guest house

Hillview is an excellent guest house along the road leading to Fort William. The room was fine and recently decorated. It is modern and very clean. The bathroom has every thing you need and it is clean and fresh. You can park your car right outside the house, The views over Loch Linnhe are magnificent. It is very easy to drive to Fort William (about 4 minutes) Breakfast is vey nice (not a fry up which was most welcome!) The owners are very friendly and helpful.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The en suite bathroom is quite literally in the room. The toilet is in a small closet that looks into the clear glass shower. The clear glass shower is directly into the bedroom - so there was no privacy using the toilet or the shower. The shower was the size of an RV shower and had two temperatures- scalding or freezing. It was miserable. The view from the front bedroom was spectacular. Despite a note saying that later check in could be arranged the owner insisted 9 pm was the latest so other guests weren’t disturbed. When I explained that wouldn’t work she said she could not cancel the reservation. So we changed our plans to get there in time. Check in took two minutes and nothing we did would have disturbed anyone. Breakfast was adequate.
