“good value break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012
7
people found this review helpful

Had a great 5 days at this hotel with shearings.The staff were very helpful,and the food was very good for this type of break.The bedrooms were clean and serviced to a good standard.The entertaiment was average but everyone really enjoyed the scotch guy in a kilt,,he was fantastic.Got everybody joining in with him.The trips we took to Mallaig and Fort Augustus were excellant.
The variable meal times were good, as with other coach companys you have to be at the dining room on the dot and rush your breakfeast to be on time for the trips.
The bar staff were excellant and being inclusive they were kept very busy as you could imagine.The glass of wine at meal time was a very good idea,just that little touch to add to your enjoyment.
A great 5 day break and would certainly return to this hotel.

just returned from a great weekend at the caledonian hotel in fort william.4 of us stayed arriving on 30.12.2011 for 3 nights.i found it very hard to see some of the moans of previous guests.our room was first class and every member of staff was 1st class and always very helpfull.dining room was excellent as was the standard and quality of food.we had entertainment every night and there was even an unexpected buffet laid on after the bells.i would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to any of my friends inthe sure knowledge that they would be well looked after.i will almost certainly return at some stage myself

Room Tip: we requested a low down room and ended up in room 118.you could hold a dance in here and everything...

Just got back from Caledonian Hotel in Fort William went with shearings and was well impressed,hotel is great value for money,hotel was lovely and clean,food good,free bar 3 hours a night,good entertainment and the hotel staff were fantastic all very friendly and couldn't do enough for you.Dominic our coach driver was lovely and so knowledgable about Scotland.Some other reviews said it was a 30min walk into Fort William i would say it was more like 45mins at a leisurely stroll i,m in my 60s just to give you some idea but it is flat all the way.We will definately be going back

Room Tip: rooms at front of hotel have Loch view

“Great value for money break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011
6
people found this review helpful

Just back from a lovely stay at the Caledonian hotel in Fort William. This stay was inclusive of drinks at night. Lovely helpful staff throughout hotel. From cleaning staff to reception staff all had a smile for us. Room was clean and comfortable. Dining room was nice and food was good though I must admit main meal portions were not enough for me. To be honest the price we paid for the four days was unbelievably low and we did have a lovely stay. We travelled to the hotel by car and I first saw this break in the Sunday Post a few months before we went but only decided to book about a week before going, I'm glad I did

Room Tip: Front facing rooms have smashing views over Loch Linnhe.

I'm pleased you found your stay to be good value. We are situated in an idyllic spot and the views from our front rooms are fantastic. Repairs are in hand for the public toilets. As for the bingo, sorry, people either love it or hate it.
