Close to train station and downtown area. The room was clean and comfortable but very tiny. During our three night stay two nights we were awakened at 2am to guitar playing, singing, yelling. The third night was quiet so we were able to sleep.

Great location and spotless suite. A shame the spa bath wasn’t working as this was one of the reasons I booked the room (having just climbed Ben Nevis) and there was lots of noise in the foyer early morning- the walls / ceiling are thin so noise travels. To be fair I used some of the free ear plugs provided and these helped! Lots of positives though - plenty of parking, thoughtful touches including fresh coffee and comfy seating area in the suite. Spotlessly clean and easy check in and out.

Great Stay in Fort William
The guesthouse is the perfect spot to stay in Fort William and explore the Highlands. Check-in was quick and easy, the room was very comfortable and everything in Fort William is an easy 10 minute walk away.

This was a nice place to stay and the staff was very helpful. We enjoyed the walk to shopping and food/drink. Ear plugs were necessary for the light sleeper as the road noise at the front of the facility was on a busy street. Would do it again.
