We were fortunate enough to have a refurbished room, which was very comfortable and clean. The staff on reception, in the bar and restaurant were very efficient and friendly. We had an evening meal in the restaurant, but found it a bit average, the breakfast was good, it was buffet style but had everything you needed. I’d recommend a car if you’re staying here as there are a lot of lovely places around Fort William to explore.
