Hotels near Signal Rock and An Torr, Fort William

We stayed for 2 nights for our wedding. The team helped on all accounts and the rose petals and champagne were the icing on the cake. The lodge we had was lodge 1, we were very private ,with trees to one side meaning no one was over looking us. The lodge was immaculate, high standard of finish throughout. The view was perfect for us, sunshine with a wee breeze and the midges really with the wood burner on as dusk came no bother to us . “Smidge” was included and we both used that before we ventured out, very helpful. I cannot fault the woodlands set up, if I am really looking to find anything maybe some throws to use would be nice to sit out later. Oh worth noting if you want some music do take a Bluetooth speaker as we didn’t want the projector and screen on but still wanted some music when watching rh view and sunset . The projector was fab though later and just casts whatever is on your phone no app or anything needed to use.

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.

My partner and I booked Glencoe House for a family celebration. We booked lodges 9 & 11 along with suite 2. The surroundings were outstanding, with peace and tranquility from our decking allowing us to forget about our bustling lives for a few days. We had dinner in suite 2 as a group. The choices were extensive, from stunning local seafood and meats to delicious desserts and cheese....obligatory wines from our in suite bar were on hand to supplement each dish. The service was incredibly professional, discreet, and a joy to experience. We really did feel like royalty. The chef, I think his name is George, made an appearance to ensure all was well. Marvellous. We had drinks afterwards in the main hall and chatted with Angela, a local lady. She gave us fantastic tips on the best walks in the are, taking into consideration my father's slight mobility issues. The following day, we took her advice. After a beautiful in suite breakfast, we meandered around the local trail, a more or less level walk with plenty of benches scattered around it for a quick breather. Glencoe House oozes an opulence which hotels don't seem to have anymore. From arrival with James in his kilt, the decor, ambience, and the facilities on hand, everything. The 2 lodges are basically next door and are stunningly beautiful. Next level luxury! We as a group cannot wait to return. We are all smitten with this establishment and every single dedicated and supremely professional employee. Thankyou so much to all of you, and we cannot wait to visit and see you all again. Xx

Located in the centre of Fort William it was very convenient for walking to our trip on the Jacobite steam train. Decor nice and quirky But - and a big but - the rooms are teeny-tiny. I’m used to staying in ‘metro’ hotels but this a whole new level of small. You can barely walk round the bed - we had a superior king-size room, supposedly. No wardrobe - just a couple of hangers on the wall. If you sit on the loo in the tiny bathroom, the sink is over your knees. Hardly room to turn round for £180 a night. Nice view over a car park being built but it was quiet at the back of the hotel (notwithstanding the noisy guests in adjacent rooms). Decent breakfast and nice staff just about rescued it.

My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights after walking The West Highland Way - it was an excellent stay! The owners and staff are all very friendly and they’re well set for walkers, with a drying room available for guests to use. They have lots of recommendations for eating places in Fort William and for when the rain is torrential (or you just fancy staying in) they have a lounge area where guests can eat their own food or takeaway. There’s also a small bar in the lounge which makes it a cozy little social space in the evenings if you want to meet other travellers. Breakfast was plentiful and very tasty, with excellent views from the windows. Our room was very comfortable with an incredible view over the water. I would highly recommend a stay here.

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”.

I booked this hotel after a cancellation at another hotel in Fort William, and I found it last minute. Quite exciting staying at a new hotel! Firstly, the plus points: a very friendly welcome, and the lady on reception at check out was very friendly too. Also, the rooms are really stylish and spotless, and some very tasty biscuits are provided. However, I was left disappointed by a few things. Firstly, despite the stylish appearance of the room, it lacked some cosyness - it felt like a cross between a Premier Inn and student digs. On that subject, there was a group of quite noisy students staying there the evening I was there. This wouldn't normally bother me, but you could hear everything from the corridor, even though I was staying at the far end. So, lots of knocking on doors until 11pm at night and from about 6am the following morning. I also found the service at the bar to be quite mixed. The guy working was very friendly, but the lady I was greeted by came across as if she didn't want to be there...no smile or anything! Finally, you can't watch live TV in the rooms. It may be 2023, but, if I want to watch TV on an evening, just turning it on and having channels available would be good. Unfortunately, I had to connect my tablet to a different WiFi code and cast...and not many of the streaming services allow you to cast live TV. In time, I'm sure the hotel will be great, and maybe I'll go again...maybe!

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.
