Boa estadia
Pros:

Localização excelente. Estacionamento privado. Boas instalações. Quarto com vista espetacular. Camas confortáveis. Bom pequeno almoço embora com pouca oferta

Cons:

Pedir a uma empregada, ao pequeno almoço, por um croissant mais, e responder-me que não tinha mais. Talvez por estar perto da hora de fim de pequeno almoço.

Pros:

Comfortable room, friendly staff particularly Andrew in the evening restaurant, plenty of parking.

Cons:

Some off the breakfast choices were missing after the large tour groups had been in first. Despite being under heating lights the buffet breakfast food wasn't very hot.

Pros:

Lots of parking, nice comfortable room, on-site restaurant/bar, right at the edge of the loch

Cons:

Quite a big distance to the centre of Fort William, if you would want to go on foot. Room was located right next to the ramp leading up to the entrance, so everyone passing by can just look straight inside. Might want to add some window foil, slats or shades
