We had a great stay at the Glentower Observatory. Trevor and Catrina were very welcoming and informative suggesting places to visit during our stay. The room was clean and warm, breakfast was excellent and the location of the guest house was ideal for our stay in Fort William. A great place to stay if you're visiting Fort william.

Nicest people we’ve ever encountered at a B&B. This place is a gem.

A fantastic place which I would recommend to everyone. Great location with view of the lake. Great staff and owners, big shout out for Trevor and Sandra! The room was great with plenty of space for the four of us and it was very clean. Big bathroom and great shower! Breakfast was freshly cooked and of great quality. Definitely a place I will keep in my agenda for a next trip to Fort William. Disliked · Really I cannot say anything that I didn't like. The place is simply fantastic and deserves all the best! I will return there next time that we will visit Fort William.

Fantastic stay here with great staff. Very comfortable stay in Tower room with great service and friendly staff with great sense of humour l. Short 5 minute walk to town and plenty of info in room binder which was very useful. Great breakfast with lovely black pudding and haggis which is the best ever just wished I had asked where it came from.Would not consider stying anywhere else in Fort William

The hosts were very friendly, room was nice and the location was great, but we had two sleepless nights as the bed was small and very uncomfortable.

Lovely two night stay at Glentower. Location is perfect - just 3 minutes walk to the town. Character building, comfortable rooms, charming smiley host, Trevor. Rooms were beautifully clean. Ours had a lovely seating area with loch view. Breakfast was excellent. I’ve given four stars, rather than five, because I had hoped for a nice bathroom with bath, but had a tiny shower room with noisy fan.

Beautiful room with a view over the loch. Great bathroom with shower and claw-foot bath. This stay was a touch of luxury in so many ways.
The hosts were fabulous. I was travelling with my mum and Trevor responded to questions fast and in detail, providing a ground floor room on request and info about taxis and eating places. A great place to know about and we will definitely return.
