Used the lodge for a three day break with my sons and their partners as we were climbing Ben Nevis. Couldn't have picked a better location. The lodge is about 20 minute drive from Ben Nevis, 8 miles from Fort William and 5 minutes from a fery that took you to a lovely little pub called the Ardgour Inn. Jim and Pauline who own the lodges are fantastic, You couldnt ask for more helpful owners. Jim's local knowledge is excellanet, nothing was too much trouble. ##### Gillian M. ### 8/10 Good #### David H. 28 Jul 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Highland Break Great location for climbing Ben Nevis and surrounded by beautiful lochs. Peaceful lodge with plenty of indoor space. Comfy beds!! We enjoyed roasting marshmallows beside our lodge in the evening. ##### David H.
