Hotels near Fort William War Memorial, Fort William

We had a friendly welcome in reception and found our rooms spotless, very well equipped and pleasant. They were not particularly big, but were singles and had all that was needed, The (double) beds in particular were very comfortable. We had dinner in the restaurant which was very good and provided an excellent choice. Staff in all areas were friendly and helpful. For anyone with mobility issues, there is no lift but I believe help was available with luggage if requested. The rooms had walk-in showers.

So this is not where I wanted to stay in Fort William however I booked with them because I wanted to use up Avios Points and this was the only place in town that took them. So checking in was a breeze, very old school. I was given a key and that was it since I had pre-booked. I liked this. No bond, passports required etc. Check out was also easy and no sly extra charges. The staff were lovely and friendly and room service was done well. I booked a standard room but received one of the Four Poster rooms which was great. Though I did feel I still paid quite a bit for this room, so perhaps they upgraded me. Maybe I did buy the posh room and the Avios website made an error. The Breakfast buffet is well priced and extensive. Perfect for filling up before climbing the Ben. The dinner was okay with a changing menu. The Hotel is in need of an upgrade, cracks, mould in places and the Spa and pool area had the feeling a a public pool but it was nice to have those facilities. Joe public can make use of the pool which I think is a activity families do on a wet day. Location was not ideal either, A bit too far to walk into town compared to other hotels. Look it was okay, a mixed back, I would recommend but I would also be keen to try something different should I return.

Prices start at £4 or £5 per night... This is an old castle hotel on the west side of the Scottish Highlands. From a common area point of view everything is well done and impeccable. But from the point of view of the rooms...the price/performance ratio is obviously super low. The facilities are outdated, so I asked for a humidifier... A hair dryer that was produced 20 years ago came, which was completely unacceptable and had no humidifying effect at all. The shower room has very strict requirements on the size of the guests, and I personally feel that the water pressure can be further improved and improved. The laudable point is that the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap in the bathroom...all have two ball royal certifications, and the quality is also carried. The cold and hot water device of the washbasin is a traditional separate type, which is the kind of water that you either use cold water or hot water, and it cannot be warm water anyway. The sofa in the guest room is made of fabric. The disadvantage is that you can't see whether it has lice or whether it is clean. Anyway, it is so old that people don't want to sit on it at all. The carpet is lint-free, which means it's ”aged”. Well, let's talk about the public area: the restaurant's production is still quite standard, with Michelin standards, whether it's dinner or breakfast... It's pretty good, but the quality of the coffee is not good. The service staff are warm, courteous, serious and smiling. There are several casual living rooms and even dining rooms in the indoor public area, all of which are luxurious, comfortable, freehand, and comfortable, and there is nothing to fault. There are a large number of areas in the outdoor woods and paths that need to be improved, such as greening projects. One last thing to add: parking is free. After all, the owner, Mr. Chai, is a Chinese from Southeast Asia. The land of the ancient castle covers an area of 5,000 acres... If parking charges are required... it would be too stingy. In general...you can say that it is an ancient European style, but I personally think that the ancient European style does not necessarily need to update or refresh the facilities and furniture. Especially with such a large area, if the greening is not done well... it really responds to the old saying ”gold and jade are outside, and there is nothing in it”.

We stayed at the Factors Inn for 5 nights, we used it as a base for travelling, from there we visited Oban, Malaig and Skye, overall we were quite happy with our stay, we had a superior room with a lovely big comfortable bed, tea coffee making facilities a sofa, coffee table and not a bad sized TV it was dog friendly this is great for us and our dog, you can catch a bus just outside on the main road into Fort William or use the local A&A reliable taxi service that we used a couple of times, the only negatives I can think of are the the Bathroom was quite dated, but having said that it didn’t affect our stay, and at check in we were asked if we would like to book breakfast at the Castle but they do NOT allow dogs in the Castle so we declined, had a delicious breakfast and evening meals just within 10/15 min walk along the cycle/walk path just across the road from Factors to the Golf club/Caddy Shack restaurant & Bar thats ran by a lovely couple that can’t do enough for you. Overall our stay was a nice one and we would go back and stay there.

We were looking for accommodation in the Lochaber area as a base for a kayaking weekend, and Corran bunkhouse fit the bill perfectly. Everything is good quality, and the rooms are clean and functional - ours had a nice ensuite too. There is a large common room with comfy seating and a log burner which was a nice place to relax, but we usually ended up sitting in the communal dining kitchen. The kitchen had everything you could need to make from snacks to big meals, and there was plenty of food storage and fridge space. Plenty of space to sit and eat too. A really big plus was the two drying rooms, one off the kitchen which had a dehumidifier, and another outside, which allowed lots of wet gear to be dried quickly - a real bonus if you're there for a few days. The owner Alan couldn't be more helpful, and gave us tips on the best places to eat wherever we were going. I can thoroughly recommend getting the ferry over to Ardgour to the pub for food. A minute from the bunkhouse, its free for foot passengers, the crossing takes about 5 minutes, and is a nice way to go to dinner. Overall i cant recommend the place highly enough. A modern, clean and enjoyable place to spend a night or two.

Everything very good Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

We stayed for 1 night in August 2024. We were a family grouping of seven adults and older children and we booked one of the four bed “beach houses” with hot tub adjacent to the hotel. We paid £630 for the one night which was a special deal on the website, reduced from the original price of £750. I still don’t think that was good value for money. The Holly Tree describes itself as a luxury hotel. It’s not luxurious. It’s good to nice. I’ve been fortunate to have travelled around the world with my job and on holidays and stayed in many luxury hotels so I know what that means. The beach houses are new and yes, they have nice en-suite bathrooms and are modern and clean, but they lack the “wow factor” and small details to be classed as luxury. The outdoor hot tub wasn’t sheltered in any way so with a Force 8 gale blowing and torrential rain, it was basically unusable on the night we stayed. In such an exposed location, it’s pointless have hot tubs with no weather protection of any kind. The hotel itself is OK but again, it’s really pushing it to describe it as luxury. The restaurant looks tired and the bar was mostly full of restaurant style tables and chairs crammed in with maybe 3 sofas, when I was hoping for something a bit more comfortable and cosy. We had dinner in the hotel and the food was good quality. Service was pretty good too. So overall, I don’t think it was value for money that we paid. The beach house was very nice but not luxury standard and the hotel itself needs a makeover. It’s trading on its location too much.

This hotel is a very cozy and small hotel that probably qualifies as bed & breakfast except that their restaurant is also open for dinner to the general public. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a radiator for heating (and cooling). The bathroom was nice and clean. I think the water may have been naturally sourced, given its color, but that's not an issue and drinking water was provided in the room. You should remove your shoes and use the provided slippers. Bathrobes were also provided. The food for dinner and breakfast was very good. Everything was very fresh and of the highest quality, beautifully prepared and delicious. The atmosphere is great, and I especially liked the paintings displayed in the breakfast room. We only stayed one night but this was easily the best hotel experience we had while traveling there.
