The property owners are very friendly, but leave us very much to ourselves, although are always on hand in case of any problems that should appear. Extremely conveniently placed for the town but also for getting out into the countryside to explore. A peaceful and quiet property.

It's in an excellent location not only to explore Fort William but the surrounding area. This is the 2nd time we've stayed in this cottage which is something we have never done before.

Due to its age the level of daylight inside the cottage is not brilliant. Situated in a very scenic area you only have to walk a very short distance from the door to see the beauty of the surrounding area. Trees and buildings do obscure the views from the cottage and its gardens. That said it is a great location for exploring the region and a very comfortable well equipped cottage.
