Good location. And room was decent size although sink in bathroom was the tiniest sink I’ve ever seen. Overall quiet but they do alllow dogs and this poor little dog was whining next to our room. You could hear anyone opening and closing doors. I would give this a 4/5 stars for location.

Located close to restaurants and shops. Great location for highland driving stop over. Adorable town. Great hotel. We stayed in a suite and had our own designated parking space. The suite was great for 4 people, comfortable and clean. Enjoyed the free snacks left for us! Overall, highly recommend.

The apartments are high up a hill with great view of Loch Linnhe. The apt kitchen was well equipped and included a washer dryer. Excellent dining options are a short walk, as are interesting and useful stores. Fort William is central to many of the things the Highlands has to offer.

I will never rate a hotel and especially their suites 4/5 stars if they have problems with their plumbing and it takes forever for water to drain in shower. Ok place, not worth the money.
