When is the best time to go to Fort William?

While Fort William is a year-round destination, the best time to visit is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its warmest and most pleasant. During these months, you can expect average daytime temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, great for outdoor activities. The long daylight hours, with the sun often setting after 9 PM, give you ample time to explore the stunning natural landscapes, including hiking trails and the scenic coastline. It's an ideal time for families looking to enjoy the great outdoors without the chill of other seasons. For those interested in whale watching, July and August are particularly good, as these are peak months for spotting various whale species in the waters around Fort William. Boat tours are readily available during this period, offering a chance to see these magnificent creatures up close. If you are a solo traveller seeking a quieter experience with fewer crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures, late spring (May) or early autumn (September to early October) can also be good options. The landscapes are still beautiful, and accommodation prices might be slightly lower.

Top Fort William Hotel Reviews

The Guv’nor

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable beds, friendly staff, convenience of a restaurant, quiet location."

Monastery Hotel

8/10 Good

"The receptionist/clerk was friendly and helpful. Our rooms were spacious, clean and had good amenities. The complimentary breakfasts were fine but the Sunday service was poor and we had to ask for basics like jams & no offers of coffee/tea refills. Monday's server was efficient and attentive. That's a management/training issue. The Kleenex and bar soaps, in both rooms were not replaced for the second night stay, even though the towels were replaced and beds made, indicating housekeeping service. A minor issue is that there is a lack of signs directing to how to access the bistro from the hotel, through the many hallways. We were accommodated with excellent handicapped parking access. The exterior was clean, well maintained and inviting. Other than a few minor issues, we would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again on a visit to St. John's."
