Birchbank B&B was a very comfortable stop. Parking was available and the area was very quiet. Alan and Ramona greeted us upon arrival and made us feel welcome. We had a good nights sleep and we’re on our way early the next morning.

We didn't have access to the garden or other parts of the house. We assumed breakfast was included by the term B B, but it was only available for an extra fee. Not what we are used to.

Hi Patricia,Thank you for your untrue review.All our guest have access to our garden I don't understand why you don't have have access ?? We have BBQ facility, picnic benches etc in our garden to be use by all our guests ...Also what acces do you want to have in the house? You want to entry to other guest rooms ? (I know you try to entry in the room opposite of yours, that guest complain about this ) Somebody tell you to don't entry in the Breakfast Room or to not use ? I don't remember to say this .Regarding the Breakfast it's say clearly Breakfast can be added at the property, please read properly when you book next time.Kind RegardsAlin

A lovely find
We were welcomed very warmly even though we were late. Room was comfortable and very clean. Beds were comfortable. The room was at the top of the house and had the benefit of velum windows which made it airy. The house is in a lovely position next to a burn and the grounds are well maintained.

Welcoming hosts and a clean and tidy room, with an excellent full Scottish breakfast. Good dinner options at nearby pubs within walking distance (I ate at the Stronlossit). Don't miss the Glen Roy viewpoint a few miles away!

Fantastic place!
We have just had a 2 night stay at Birchbank B & B and it was fantastic! Alin and Romana were excellent hosts and greeted us with a warm welcome upon arrival. The room was immaculate with not a spot of dust in sight. The bed was very comfortable also. We had breakfast and it was very substantial and very nice. We would really recommend staying here if you are up in the Highlands and we will certainly be staying again when we are back up here. Big thumbs up!

Room and ensuite were not large but clean, modern, and comfortable. Breakfast was fine. Parking was handy. Staff were helpful. Only real drawback was distance to Fort William...a good 15 to 20 minute drive.

Can't rate highly enough
A last minute booking due to change of plans. It had tuned out for the better. Fantastic hosts and an amazing room. Everything was spotless clean, in top condition. I felt like I walked into a top hotel. I will consider coming back in the future.

Really cramped bathroom (ground floor room adjacent to the main entrance) seems almost to have been an inconvenient afterthought. Tiny unstable 'towers' used for bedside cabinets were barely big enough for my mobile phone let alone glasses or water. Arriving/departing guests disturb the occupants of this room. Everything was super clean and the bed was ok. Outside space was beautifully presented. Did not try the breakfast.

Complete lack of hospitality
We sincerely had a most unpleasant experience here and as world travelers would never return. We arrived around 8pm after a nice getaway to Skye and no one was on site to greet. After waiting a minute we entered the home and knocked on door of what appeared to be a dining area followed by small kitchen, we were met by a very rude host kicking us out and lecturing us as to hallway and front door signs to ring the bell and just wait outside. When we admitted missing the sign given entry is dim, he continued loudly to scold why we would have missed the sign. We chose to ignore his rudeness and simply asked to be let in to our room (only double bed). We have never encountered such experience in hospitality. Next morning we left and rung the bell to return keys and for him to check room. We then realize he had been calling several times on our international mobile so despite roaming charges we picked up. We thought he possibly could have been calling to apologize for his behavior but to add salt to the wound he questioned where we took his small towels to which we replied they were neatly placed in the night table drawers which he then found in entirety. In light of how small the room was, it baffles the mind that an innkeeper would not check the room as part of cleaning before calling and questioning a guest. There are lots of lovely B&B in Fort Williams, we unfortunately booked last minute and met with an appalling experience at the Birchbank B&B!

Response from Alin on 23 Sept 2021
Thank you very much for getting time to leave a review. I expect on this one. First off all, you didn't ring the bell or wait on the door at all, you come directly in the house till on our kitchen. I don't know how you expect to wait you? With a red carpet at any time when you come for check in , we are not hotel to have reception on the desk, it's a B&B, we have a bell to press Anyway well well done guys, go in the next B&B where you will stay whitout rind the bell to can see everyone your 7 years from home, after blame the owners for a bad experience of your bad behaviour. When you go in somebody house first you knock the door or you press the bell and wait for somebody to open. Also we have big sign on the door to ring the bell and to wait for attention. Learn how to respect people and you will be respected. For the towels, first of all we open the windows to fresh up the room, after 20 minutes we go and take all linen and towels, and its first time in my life when somebody's put the towels in the bedside table. Also when you book I think it's say clear there a double bed. But probably in your country its how you do here .... Kind Regards Alin
