On arrival at the guest house, you receive a complimentary glass of whisky or sherry and some shortbread biscuits, in their guest lounge - how lovely - no-one else does this. This is such a wonderful welcome to Scotland. We had a very small room but it was clean and tidy and our room had a lovely view over the... More

We wanted to stay two nights but there was a vacancy for only one so we ended up spending the second night at McLean Guest House down the road which was far better value. Pleasant spot with friendly staff and nice touches like bathrobe and slippers, bottled water and mints. Had to haul suitcases upstairs as no lift. Breakfast good... More

We drove past here looking for a B&B for the night on our trip. This looked so nice from outside, we couldn't resist the stop. And I'm so glad we did. After a very pleasant chat with the owner, she upgraded us to a very beautiful little room. It was small, but had everything we could need and it was... More

A thoroughly enjoyable one night stay. The room was very comfortable and the owners have gone to great efforts to provide some nice touches e.g. the free 'dram' on arrival. I enjoyed my brief stay very much.

This guest house is close to the town and other attractions, it is located on a main road but the traffic noise wasn't a problem, the road gets very quiet at night. Very clean, lots of details that you would only expect from a big hotel, bottles of water, clean glasses, mints, copious supplies of toiletries, soaps, make up wipes... More

The Distillery House Hotel is a small family run hotel at the base of Ben Nevis. The staff are very friendly showing you to your room, later in the lounge you are given a free dram. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, don't expect a huge room, it is a small Scottish Hotel. Overall I had a very enjoyable... More

This was by far the best b&b we stayed in on our holiday. The room was lovely, the bed was soooooo comfy! The Distilliery is 10 min wak form Fort William town centre and is ideal for climing the Ben which my husband did, and is very proud of the fact!! The staff are very helpful. It is spotlessly clean... More

The rooms are clean and up to date with excellent finishes. There were three of us in two rooms. The single was exceptional. The twin room was very small & a bit tight but very comfortable. I think the armoire placement and size caused the extra cramp. The girl at the desk was extremely helpful about local restaurants, sites etc.... More

Stayed one night prior to doing the Three Peaks Challenge. The young lady who was in charge could not have been more helpful even extending to advice on ascending Ben Nevis. The room (a twin) was small but comfortable and the breakfast superb. It is conveniently sited for both places to eat and the start of the three peaks walk.... More

Easy to find from the directions on the website. Plenty of parking. Friendly reception with free whisky offered. Room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable if quite small. Feels more like a hotel than a guest house, lacks something to make it feel homely. However, it was perfectly good for our needs and only about 20 mins walk into town.
