Property in good location overlooking the loch and right near the town. The hotel itself was a lovely little building with some nice warm sitting rooms to enjoy a drink. The restaurant was also very pleasant with nice food and drink selection.

The room was very nice but quite dusty. Bath and sink both need replaced. Found a tablet (medication) under the bed. Staff very friendly. Restaurant over priced and the food under seasoned. Not much choice either. £22 for vegan haggis! Definitely not worth it. Nice lounge areas and good Wi-Fi.

The property has some charm but really needs a refurb and attention to detail. Coal fires never on, a bit Spartan with furnishing in communal area, generally feels cold and unkept

Wonderful hotel on the edge of "downtown" Fort William. The room was unique, decorated with style. Large bathroom and shower (not to be taken for granted in Scottish guesthouses). Exceedingly friendly service at the reception desk and in the attached fine dining restaurant (dinner reservations required). Thank you, Lime Tree!

Don't stay in room 3
Toilet cistern wouldn't reset, so water constantly discharged into the bowl. I presume the vent, just outside room 3, that came up through the roof was from the boiler. When it fired up at 5am, on a clammy night, the window had to be closed. Outside the control of the hotel, someone paced the floor above most of the night on top of creaking floorboards. Not a comfortable night.

Everything was great - except the bed mattresses. They are old, sag in the middle, and smell of old sweat - not pleasant to sleep on - no other place I stayed in Scotland was like this. The owner has an Audi R8 and Porsche 911 in their driveway - I think they can afford to replace the mattresses. It’s fundamental. Before you make a reservation, ask if they have new mattresses in the room, or don’t book it. Everything else is great, but the beds were disgusting. Old pillows also.

Excellent independent hotel w/ restaurant attached
Excellent independent hotel w/ restaurant attached. Room was spacious and comfortable bed. The lady on reception couldn't have been friendlier and really made the stay. Breakfast was good and efficient and they've a seperate area for dining with dogs which is more than adequate for breakfast. We had booked dinner one evening, but to dine there alone with no ambient music (unlike the main restaurant) felt soulless so we decided to go elsewhere.
