“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This gorgeous little house is one of soooo many on the road along the Loch in Fort William. It's a little way to walk into town if it's wet, but would be perfect in dry weather and is only about a 2 minute drive by car. Margaret was so lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were beautiful, so roomy and comfortable and clean. The tiny little toilet and shower rooms were small but sufficient and definitely effective! Breakfast was great, we loved our stay here!

“Great Value for 3 Star Bad and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2010

We stayed in the twin room with the private facilities and thought that the whole bed and breakfast was excellent value. Our room was a very good size, clean and tidy and the private bathroom was excellent being large and modern and with easy access to the room. Our room had a great view out of the bed room window over Lock Lihnn. Excellent car parking. The breakfast was excellent providing everything that you would like for breakfast in the morning. Margaret and her husband were excellent hosts. This is great value for people who don.t mind staying in a 3 star bed and breakfast.

“SUPER LOCATION”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 March 2010

My partner and I spent a wonderful two nights stay at Alt-An Lodge,
The facilities provided were excellent. After a very warm welcome we were shown
to our double room which was spacious,very clean and had wonderful views.
Breakfast was excellent with a very good selection. Margaret was very friendlly and
helpful. We hope to return later in the year.

“Disappointing stay with small rom and even smaller facilities”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2009

This place was rated with three stars but proved the least acceptable out of the B&B accomodation with the same rating that we stayed at in Scotland. The breakfast was good but the room facing the loch was tiny and the ensuite arrangements were very poor. Fine if you are a dwarf. The shower cubicle was minute and one couldn't sit comfortably on the loo. We also found the mattress on the bed not so comfortable

A lot was made of the loch view from this room but it also overlooks the main road which leads into Fort William. Pay a little more,stay nearer town and choose somewhere else. Our other B&Bs we stayed at in Scotland were much better than this.

We were not given a chance to address the
reviewers concerns since no complaint was
made, either on their arrival or during their
stay. If there had been we would have done our very best to help.
We feel it inappropriate for the reviewer to
make recommendations to possible future
customers.
We are astonished that after reading this
critical review that the reviewer went on to stay
for a second night

“A true traveler stop”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2009

With so many places to visit for the avid climber, and historic sights to see for the true tourist, it's nice to know you can relax at Alt-An-Lodge at the end of the day.
It has a fantastic view of Loch Linnhe and many fine places to eat in the town of Fort William, which is nearby. But the friendliness offered by your hosts truly warms the place up.
