This hostel is actually not in Fort William, but about 3,5 miles from it, in Corpach. Which is ok, if take notice of that while booking. I didn´t. But it didn´t matter, I just got additional walk but I had a very enjoyable stay there. The staff is ok, if not very friendly then professional at least. The room was... More

I certainly would not recommend this hostel. I came to the hostel with a group of friends for a walking weekend. 2 people were unable to make the trip, 6 days notice of this was given but we were still fully charged for their stay while the hostel re-sold one of the beds. There was no one on reception in... More

I stayed here with a large (24) group at the end of may 2011 we arrived late on a Friday night for one night before attempting the three peaks challenge. I found that kirsty, who i dealt with for my whole booking, was friendly, accommodating, helpful and professional throughout. When i met her on arrival, late at night, she was... More

Farr Cottage itself was OK. Very worn but clean and warm. However, the welcome we received from the owner / manager was non existent. He was rude and narkey. His assistant (possibly his daughter) was also rude and unhelpful. We would never return to Farr Cottage and would advise everyone to give it a wide birth. 4 Peak Challenge Gang,... More

Where do I start?? Kirsty and her Father who run this Hostel, have to be two of the most ignorant, rude and downright nasty hosts I have ever come across. On arrival to this dated and fairly run down hostel, we were told outright things we were not allowed to do. When we asked questions the said owners pretty much... More

After climbing Ben Nevis on 10th Septmeber in attrotious weather. We arrived at Farr Cottage to a very frosty owner who sat us down and talked to us like we were 5, I am nearly 40!! The location is lovely, the rooms were clean but very small, but enough to put your head down after a very very long day.... More

After a long walk up Ben Nevis, our team of 11 arrived at Farr Cottage to a chilly reception and what I can only describe as a lecture about the rules of the house. From then on, we were treated with disdain and the level of service was atrocious. We were scowled at, talked down to, ignored and insulted. The... More

We stayed in a double private room with shared bathroom. The room and the bathroom are very very small, but the price is unbeatble (34 gbp per night). We had a small drawback with owners, that were not to be found and 8:30 am when we wanted to chack out... we just had to go in Fort Williams, have breakfast... More

We travelled trough England and Scotland since a half-year. We have seen lot of different places and stayed there mainly for a couple of days. We truly have to admire that Farr-Cottage is a category by it's own! We love to be here, have a chat and a laugh, enjoy the fantastic hospitality, just to know that the staff give... More
