Having been to Fort William just very quickly, I wanted to come back with more time. So I set out to plan a week end getaway for me and my 3 daughters, but with so many guest houeses present on the internet, the decision seemed difficult. What sounded (and looked) very convincing was the breakfast menu... it was described in so much detail and with such pride that this point became the "unique selling point", so to say. When I got in touch with them, Sue and Andy were just lovely, even changing the number of our party from 3 to 4 rather spontaneously was no problem at all. The rooms and bathrooms (we loved the Highland Soap products) were spotless, the choice of DVDs impressive, the view over the Loch beautiful. In the morning, we enjoyed a great breakfast - it's hard to choose from 4 options if you only have 2 days but everything we had was delicious, be it the porridge, the traditional Scottish breakfast, the vegetarian breakfast or the autumn crunchy yogurt (in addition to the regular buffet). So next timewe need to taste the Scottish salmon scramble!
As we wanted to have a good day hike, Andy took a map and showed us the way to Steale Falls which sounded convenient as not all of us had footwear appropriate for snowy paths. We enjoyed the hike very much, had dinner on the way back and arrived in the evening tired but happy. And I finally had the chance to watch "Braveheart"...very suitable indeed.
We can only recommend this guest house - Sue and Andy are very friendly, and they provide high-level service. I'm sure you will love your stay at Torlinnhe - we definitely plan to come back, hopefully next winter or even before that!!
