“Comfortable B & B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Stayed her for four nights in July 2011 and it was fine as a base for Ben Nevis, Fort William and touring the region.

The hosts were friendly and had useful advice on good days out. Rooms were impeccably clean and well-appointed adn the guests' sitting room overlooking the loch was great.

It's at the end of a steep climb up from the town. Not too bad normally but after climbing Ben Nevis ...... Taxis are plentiful and reasonable cheap though.

The one bizarre event was hearing a guest being told at breakfast that they'd "miscounted the sausages, so the couple would have to share one"!

“Top notch B and B with great hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 June 2011

My girlfriend and I had three wonderful nights at this warm and welcoming bed and breakfast in Fort William from 27th to 29th May. Made to feel very welcome at the outset and shown to a good size room with ensuite bathroom. This was ideal for much walking kit we took with us. Very comfortable bed and a fine selection of breakfast choices in the morning before setting off for a day in the hills. This came with as much local and hill / walking information as you needed from Alan. Perfect hosts. Fab view of the Loch from the lounge. This was a perfect getaway for exploring the West Highlands and I will certainly suggest it to family and friends in due course.

“Good stay”

person found this review helpful

We had a good and enjoyable stay at this guesthouse. The full breakfast was very tasty (+ home-made jam) and we enjoyed very much chatting with the host who had a leaflet for _everything_ you can do in scotland ready by hand :)
We had the twin room which had a "lean out of the window and look left"-view of the Loch but everything else was just fine (comfortable beds, cleaning facilities, tea and shortbread).
Would stay there again.

“Great views - shame about breakfast.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010

Had an overnight stay at Lochview House last month and whilst the location and views over Loch Linnhe were stunning, breakfast was a little disappointing. I had chosen scrambled egg with smoked salmon and wished afterwards that I'd had the full Scottish, as the scrambled egg was solid and the smoked salmon the size of a postage stamp. Whilst the landlord was very affable and friendly, his wife wasn't, and when it came to paying the bill, it felt as though I were being interrogated, as she wanted to know where we were travelling to (Skye) and how we were getting there (ferry). Afterwards, I wondered if she needed to know in case we had stolen anything from the room! I don't wish to be too negative, but this was the least pleasant of all the B. & B.'s we stayed in on our tour. (Twelve in all).
