Great! But email property beforehand.…

4 / 5

This self contained unit was very, clean, well equipped, close to shopping, eating and sights with everything you would need for your stay. Some nice gifts were left by the owners to make our stay more pleasant. Our only issue was finding it and getting in the first time. This accommodation is in a six unit appartment complex. No name and the address is vague. One needs a punch pad code to retrieve the key to the unit. This was not supplied to me. Once this was sorted, our stay was almost perfect. Just the bed was not the most comfortable. Now that i know how this property works, I'd stay again…This self contained unit was very, clean, well equipped, close to shopping, eating and sights with everything you would need for your stay.

An exceptional find near Fort William …

5 / 5

I can’t hold anyone at Mansfield House responsible for the weather but a friendly reception and an array of breakfasts that were not only very enjoyable but usually only found in much more expensive establishments. A little way out of Fort William but only a few minutes away if you have a car. I would be happy to recommend it to family and friends which says a lot about the character of the establishment …I can’t hold anyone at Mansfield House responsible for the weather but a friendly reception and an array of breakfasts that were not only very enjoyable but usually only found in much more expensive establishments.
