When is the best time to go to Fort William?

While Fort William is a year-round destination, the best time to visit is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its warmest and most pleasant. During these months, you can expect average daytime temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, great for outdoor activities. The long daylight hours, with the sun often setting after 9 PM, give you ample time to explore the stunning natural landscapes, including hiking trails and the scenic coastline. It's an ideal time for families looking to enjoy the great outdoors without the chill of other seasons. For those interested in whale watching, July and August are particularly good, as these are peak months for spotting various whale species in the waters around Fort William. Boat tours are readily available during this period, offering a chance to see these magnificent creatures up close. If you are a solo traveller seeking a quieter experience with fewer crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures, late spring (May) or early autumn (September to early October) can also be good options. The landscapes are still beautiful, and accommodation prices might be slightly lower.

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott St. John's Newfoundland

10/10 Excellent

"First time staying and I'm sure we'll be back! Staff were friendly and welcoming and quick to help with anything we needed. The pool was awesome and the slide was fun, I just wish the slide wasn't dark all the way down as it was a little unnerving for the kids. The breakfast was amazing! You get hot and cold options, which you don't see often as it's usually a continental breakfast."

Delta Hotels by Marriott St. John's Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"The Delta is a decent hotel to stay in in St John's. It's a little bit dated but the room was clean and comfortable. The pool needs an update and the showers had an issue with running cold. I also think the hotel could include shampoo and conditioner in the showers in the change rooms for the pool and gym. The breakfast buffet seams pricey at $30 however there was a really good variety and I think it's good value for the money. The location of this hotel is really convenient as well."
