We had a lovely time at Hillview Guest House. It’s right across from the Loch and has the most gorgeous views. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a great breakfast offering and gracious hosts. Will come back if we get the chance.

Hi Kimberly ,Thank you for your comments, we’re pleased you enjoyed your breakfast .As regards your room size comment ,All our room pictures are available for you to see before you make the reservation.As we are such an old cottage we are not able to make the rooms any larger .You did comment on how much luggage you had , (4 cases) maybe this didn’t help your space issue.I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.

We stayed here having driven up from Devon for the 3 peaks challenge. It was a 10/10 stay. Jane was soooo helpful and accommodating. The hotel is opposite the most beautiful stretch of water and Ben Nevis is a 10 minute drive up the road. We had a joining room with a shared bathroom between us and it worked perfectly. We were up and out so early the following morning, however, Jane packed us off on our adventure with an on-the-go breakfast- such a lovely touch. Beautiful guest house, great hosts, amazing views! What more could you ask for! We will be back!

Amazing find in Fort William
The guest house was fabulous, so clean and the owners so lovely and accommodating, breakfast was amazing so much choice. Views from the guest house are spectacular. Our rooms (a family suite) were super clean and very modern. Would definitely visit again. One tip, if you are walking back after dark from Fort William take a torch the street lights only go so far and it is very dark! Using our phones as a torch helped but a proper torch would have been easier!

Just a few minutes drive from the centre of Fort William, with amazing views across the loch, Hillview was a perfect base for my daughter and I to explore the west highlands for a few days. We received a friendly welcome, the rooms are clean and adequately furnished. Breakfast is pre ordered the night before (if you want anything cooked) with fruit, cereals and toast, and is great. In summary, Hillview is a small, friendly place to stopover and explore this amazing part of Scotland. Recommended.

Couldn’t ask for more
Firstly the location of the property is beautiful, views onto to loch and mountain scenery are something else. Even better you get these views from the rooms and in the breakfast room. The rest of the house is wonderfully clean and tidy and filled with fresh flowers. The spacious bedrooms are decorated beautifully and have a real homely touch to them. You have all you need in the room, from hot drinks, usb points, shampoo/conditioner, television, hairdryer and fluffy white towels. The breakfast was fantastically made which include hot foods, as well as a help yourself to cereals, juices, pastry’s etc. The breakfast tables were set and decorated with little fresh flowers for an extra touch. Last but not least Jane and Joe, a wonderful couple who couldn’t do enough for us. It is very obvious how much care and and how much detail they put into their guesthouse. I wouldn’t recommend anyone or anywhere else! Thank you And don’t forget to book direct!

Dear John, Sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Often weak wifi is due to older devices trying to download films or playing games. we do have strong signal in the guest loung & dining room & if required guests are welcome to use a dinng room table to work at. We have purchased the best broadband service available from our supplier but we are in the Highlands & the service we get from them is beyond our control. I do believe you brought up your issue with my husband & after speaking about it understood the situation. He did suggest you use the lounge but you declined.
