Enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

Location is excellent and rooms are spacious.

Cons:

The kitchen was closed, I was only notified of this after payment was taken, there was therefore no breakfast available. It would have been helpful if closure in out of season times was clear at booking.

OK for a short stay, wouldn't have wanted to have booked a week due to the noise from the restaurant
Pros:

Friendly staff on the desk. Location is convenient to walk to Fort William and has a view over Loch Linnhe.
Apartment is a good size, beds comfy and netflix on TV is also good.

Cons:

Apartment is above the Silly Goose restaurant. Dining noise isn't intrusive but there's a lot of noise post closure (i.e. typically when trying to sleep). It's not clear that the apartment is directly above the restaurant when booking.
Be aware that the road outside the hotel is the main road through Fort William so can be busy (including the local 'yoof' in their 'pops and bangs' modded cars.

Camere un po’ piccoline con letto a baldacchino e mobili d’epoca.
Bagno con apparecchi igienici antichi ma ben funzionanti.
Discreta la colazione e la cena presso il ristorante Silly Goose.

A charming hotel with great location, comfort, and a very welcoming atmosphere.
Pros:

The location was absolutely perfect. The hotel is just a few steps away from the centre of Fort William, with shops, restaurants, and cafés all within very easy walking distance. Everything is so close that it’s always pleasant to go out. There is also a nice view right across the road from the hotel. The hotel itself is very charming and cozy. I really enjoy staying in small hotels, and this one has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The interior is authentic and stylish, with beautiful furniture and many paintings — it feels almost like a small art gallery. The room was quite spacious, which made the stay very comfortable. The hotel is dog-friendly, which was important for me. Everything was clean and well maintained. The mattress deserves a special mention — it was soft and comfortable, and I slept very well. Overall, the hotel felt cozy, relaxing, and full of character.

Cons:

I understand that this is part of the traditional British style, but the separate hot and cold water taps were not very convenient and may not suit everyone.

Pros:

The young man who checked us in was very polite and friendly, the breakfast was very nice and lady serving friendly also.

Cons:

After booking we received an email to say the restaurant isn’t open on Sunday nights (coming to the restaurant was our reason for booking the Lime Tree) but they don’t refund cancellations so we had no choice but to stay there. Unfortunately we booked a premium room but when we went up to it, it was very clear it hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guest, the young man was incredibly apologetic and showed us to one of the basic rooms until the night manager arrived and she would come and see us, He came to inform us that was the only room we had so they would refund us the difference. No apology from the night manager or the boss the next day.

Pros:

La ubicación. Parking gratis en el alojamiento y limpieza

Cons:

Mobiliario anticuado. Baño muy pequeño. La puerta no cerrada. Tenía un fechillo pero donde tenía que ir anclado dentro de la puerta estaba cerrado ( un sinsentido) entre la entrada ( donde estaba el baño) y la habitación, había una barra de cortinas que se cayó. Cama muy blanda. Calidad del desayuno regulera

Perfect location, great place to stop
Pros:

All was great for the price. Room 11 is great as this helped with taking the dog out for a toilet break as there is a door to the outside. Breakfast was great and plentiful setting one up for the day. Room was very comfortable with a great shower.

Cons:

Nothing - everything was great
