Pros:

Easy parking.

Cons:

The location of the hotel is perfect but overall, for a bespoke hotel it looked quite tired and renovation is overdue, something the pictures online do not necessarily show. No lactose free products for breakfast.

Pros:

Nothing really

Cons:

Beds and pillows were not comfortable. Facilities were very basic. The floor was so noisy creaking every step. The TV had appalling reception just pixel lations.
The location was just a little too far out to walk for dinner.
It was not value for money

Brilliant location, stunning view
Pros:

The location is amazing, a lake view room is a must and only a short drive into Fort William.
Staff were super friendly when checking in and accommodating with our dog too. Water and treats available as soon as you walk in :)

Cons:

Mainly catering for coach trips, they are priority and we very much felt in the way.
They do ask for quiet between 10/11pm and 7am but this is not managed, the coach party were incredibly noisy with people standing outside the entrance until the early house smoking and making a lot of noise which you could then hear when they eventually went back to rooms

Il prezzo di una notte (200€) non ha senso per la qualità della camera, probabilmente è il prezzo medio di fort williams
Pros:

Colazione varia, buona scelta tra continentale e inglese.
Posizione ottima

Cons:

Pareti da rifare, bagno con peli e cesso che funziona una volta su cinque

Pros:

The beds were comfortable and the shower was good. The food in the restaurant was basic but tasty. The hotel was very busy and the staff did their best.

Cons:

The exterior of the hotel is shabby and has the appearance of a hostel. These were not hostel prices.
