Wonderful star, though short

We had a short stay in Fort William while returning from Isle of Skye. Very comfortable rooms, friendly staff. We had dinner (paid) and breakfast (included) and both were wonderful. Hotel is located right next to a lake, very scenic.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our room was large, immaculately clean and decorated to a high standard. Bathroom gorgeous. Slept brilliantly, very comfortable bed, extra pillows provided and quiet. Breakfast was delicious, good selection of good, only criticism is that it could have been hotter. Perfect close location for a walk into town.

Rooms were modern and had their own self cintrolled heating . Shower was piping hot and large tv . I ate in bar and there was a good choice to choose from. Slept soundly and breakfast buffet style meant it was not piping hot but tasty. Staff friendly too

We loved the welcome and the cleanliness. Victorian outside. Modern inside. Bathroom was gorgeous. Room a good size. Easy to get to all of Fort William. No negatives other than could have done with some fresh fruit at breakfast. Loved the stay. Slept like a baby.

We stayed here for 4 nights in November. Accommodation was lovely with what seemed to be a fairly recent refurbishment (the quality f the curtains is worth checking!). Parking was free and a walk into town took 5 minutes. Breakfast was fulsome with (for meat-eaters) both black-pudding and haggis available! A really lovely hotel, very comfortable with the bedrooms kept immaculate. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. We thought for the price we received an excellent service that we would gladly recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay!
