"We love the location! Parking was easy with several choices. However, if you arrive early, you can get a parking spot right at the hotel. Other parking options are five and 10 minutes away and you have to pay for those, they would’ve held our bags for us, but we did not need it. So, we parked there and took the train to Malaig for check-in time. The not a good part was that the mattress was very old in the springs compressed right down without cushion! It did make sleep difficult! In the morning, lots of places to eat close by the hotel. Check out as easy! The staff were wonderful! The room is clean and we used the Wi-Fi. Thank you so much!"

"Lovely refurbished property in Fort William, about 5 blocks from train station. We walked at 70 years old pulling a bag. Hotel has a super clean room with luxury bed linens and towels. Bathroom is spacious. The restaurant is top notch but you need to make reservations for dinner. Beautiful setting and the food is delicious. We had a lovely breakfast. I would highly recommend!"
