Buena noche y muy buen desayuno
Pros:

El alojamiento muy correcto, limpio todo y cama cómoda. El desayuno buffet por diez libras muy bueno,. Te dan una carta a elegir con las opciones calientes: huevos, lomo, salchichas y platos típicos de la zona. Además, hay buffet libre de opciones dulces.

Cons:

Encontrar el hotel fue difícil ya que en google maps aparece una casa que no es. El asfaltado del parking tiene algún agujero.

Décevant
Pros:

La vue mais uniquement depuis le restaurant ! Les chambres donnent sur les parkings !!

Cons:

Les repas décongelés et industriels pas compatibles avec une demi-pension !
L’établissement est très vieillot , mal insonorisé et les photos sont bien trop flatteuses.

Good place to stay for a night or two when exploring around the Fort William area.
Pros:

Room was very comfortable. Dinner, Bed and Breakfast deal was good value for money. Bar area and dining room were very comfortable as well. Food was good and there was a decent choice on the menu.

Cons:

Black pudding at breakfast must have been rationed as there was only half a slice!

Billigt, men oplevelsen levede ikke op til prisen
Pros:

Udsigten fra morgensmadsrestauranten og den fri cwifi

Cons:

Rengøringen på værelserne. Der var tykt støv på skabene og pletter på tæpperne. Sæbedispenseren på badeværelset var tom. Den ene sengelampe var defekt og vandet i badet blev aldrig mere end lunkent.

Pros:

The room we moved to was quite nice. And the view out to the lake was lovely. We had an issue when checking but the security/ night receptionist helped and resolved the issue quickly and very well.

Cons:

When we checked in we were on the bottom floor so not amazing and the room had a small problem.
