Thanks to the web and Trip Advisor,this hotel was an excellent find for a one-night stop on our tour of Scotland: easy to find,on the A82,on the road south from Fort William,in a wonderful position facing Loch Linnhe. Very quickly we regretted staying here for only one night as this is an attractive hotel.The public rooms,which are kept in tip-top condition, and many of the rooms, also enjoy views of the loch.There is plenty of easy parking. Service is A1,thoughtful,and kind and every consideration was given to the fact that my partner is disabled.We had a generous-sized ground floor bedroom,with a view of the loch,close to disabled parking.Attractively decorated and furnished in traditional style,the room was in excellent order and very comfortable ,with a generous-sized and immaculate shower-room. Dinner ,£20 for three courses and coffee,with four choices per course, in a menu which changed daily, was nicely cooked and presented and featured fairly traditional tasty food,with some more modern touches;wine was good value.I think the cuisine could easily be upped a notch with a bit more sophistication and choice but the good 'home cooking style' has a lot to recommend it. Breakfast with waitress service, had all the cooked basics,was nicely cooked ,though a little on the slim side.A little more choice would be appreciated (e.g. there was only one preserve on the table,a dish of marmalade).
A few days later ,my partner's illness and hospitalisation meant that ,unexpectedly,I had to stay in Fort William again.I returned to the Clan Mcduff ,with both relief and pleasure for a second night. I was not disappointed. This hotel is consistently well run .
One of the owners was present on both days. On my second night she ate in the restaurant and talked to staff and visited the kitchen. Though friendly and largely unobtrusive,I am sure that she was keeping a watchful eye on standards and this no doubt is part of the secret to ensure such high all-round standards.This hotel offers excellent value for money.
Room Tip: Front-facing rooms have loch views and first-floor rooms have balconies also.Disabled visitors can h...
