Booked as a treat for completing the West Highland Way after seeing the nice room on the web site with views of the Neptunes Staircase. Paid £155!!!! to get a room with a view. However, We were disappointed as the window was small so we didn't get what was expected for the extra price we paid. The window also stuck... More

We recently experienced a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Moorings and definitely intend to return there when we next visit Scotland. We found its location was extremely convenient for day trips to all the places we wished to visit and its position by the Caledonian Canal was a real bonus. Our room was warm, clean and very comfortable with a... More

We stayed at The Moorings Hotel for just 1 night but will definately be back again. Lovely hotel situated on the banks of The Caledonian Canal at Neptunes Staircase. Good walks to take from just outside the hotel and you see some of Scotland's beautiful scenery. Bedroom was clean and freshly decorated. Some nice little extras in the room. We... More

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to write a review on tripadvisor! The Moorings Hotel is not located in the centre of Fort William and in return we offer a fantastic location for dog lovers and walking enthusiasts, being a dog lover myself it is particularly important that our little friends are catered for, after all they are a...

Second time that we've stayed at this hotel, would recommend it for its location and food. The room we were allocated this time was on the Canal side....couldn't have asked for more. The staff were all very helpful, and all the nice little touches in the room were lovely. Would definitely stay there again if we were in the area. More

This hotel really knows how to run a restaurant on a busy night...the food was first class and the atmosphere was romantic. We sat on sofas with cocktails and free appetizers before we were seated at our table. After dessert we returned to a private seating area for a relaxing after dinner drink...all without being rushed or hurried. More

I booked this last minute as I had to divert from Glasgow on business. The young lady that took my booking was very cheery and helpful. I arrived late and was greeted by friendly staff. The room was warm and cosey, and I slept like a log. Breakfast was lovely, I went for the kippers! Again staff were very polite.... More
