The best accommodations Fort William

Built in 1863, this castle welcomed Queen Victoria about ten years later. The 17 rooms are spacious and all have a view of the park and the mountains. An independent cottage is also available. The establishment can pride itself on being one of the most beautiful hotels in Scotland: between its location in a green setting, on the edge of a loch, its superb Victorian architecture, and its starred restaurant, run by the country's largest family of chefs - Albert and Michel Roux - it has everything to offer exceptional address.

On the road to the islands and facing Loch Eil, this quiet bed & breakfast offers a stay full of tranquility and well-being, with a beautiful view of Ben Nevis. Outside the city, however, it allows easy access to all the nature spots of Lochaber. There are only two rooms, which guarantees special attention for each guest. Both are spacious and cosy, with views of the loch or the mountains. The breakfast is excellent, as is the welcome. Attention, this establishment only receives adults.

Situated in the heart of the Glen Nevis, in the shadow of the gigantic Ben and in beautiful surroundings, this campsite offers a varied choice of accommodation. In addition to pitches for tents, caravans and camper vans, it is possible to take a cabin per night (one pod for two people) or to rent a mobile home per week (sometimes less) for more comfort. There is a mini-market on site and, of course, communal showers and toilets. The campsite also has its own restaurant and bar - the Glen Nevis Restaurant & Bar - which serves traditional pub food.

Set in a large house on the heights of Fort William, this very friendly hostel is only a few minutes walk from downtown and its amenities. More aimed at young people in search of encounters than at families, the atmosphere is very childlike and brews a clientele of backpackers and sportsmen. There is a communal kitchen and a small living room, equipped with a fireplace, to rest at the end of the day. In the summer, you can even cook outside, thanks to the barbecue provided. Pubs and restaurants are within walking distance.

Myrtle Bank offers around 20 rooms of different sizes and decor in three beautiful residences facing Loch Linnhe. All of them are bright and elegant, with beautiful wooden furniture and a lot of comfort. Some of them are huge and also have magnificent views of the peaceful waters across the road. Some bathrooms are shared, although most are private, and the guests are very pleasant.

At the foot of one of the entrances to the trail leading to the summit of Ben Nevis, this Hostelling Scotland hostel is an ideal base if you want to conquer the colossus without wasting time and staying at a lower cost. It offers superb panoramic mountain views, a well-equipped communal kitchen, drying room, laundry room and secure bicycle storage. Food and drinks are available all day long. After extensive renovations and a total renovation of the façade in 2018, the place has been upgraded to a top-of-the-range location and is quickly taken by storm in the summer.

Corriegour Lodge Hotel is probably the peaceful retreat you've been looking for. Situated on one of the most beautiful sections of the Great Glen, it has a magnificent view of Loch Lochy and has its own jetty, for you to sail, as well as 9 hectares of woodland. All rooms have en suite facilities and are equipped with all modern conveniences. The living room and common areas are also particularly pleasant. As for the restaurant (open to non-residents), it has been awarded several times for its excellence.
