    will definitely go back there again

    The superior family room was super spacious with a private bathroom, electric kettle, and a flat-screen TV. Breakfast was freshly cooked and included delicious poached eggs. The views of Loch Linnhe were amazing, perfect for relaxing on the patio. The hosts were incredibly helpful, giving great tips for local activities.

    Nothing to improve upon.

    stunning lake views
    delightful hosts
    drippy bathroom

    What a gem! The location was perfect, with stunning lake views, and our family room had space galore. Catriona and Trevor were just delightful and made our stay wonderfully memorable.

    But dear me, the bathroom had a bit of a 'drippy' personality! I half-expected it to turn into a water feature at any moment.

    Amazing Honeymoon Base!

    We had a fantastic time on our honeymoon! The hosts left us a nice bottle of prosecco in our room and gave solid tips for exploring. Our room was super comfy, clean, and had an awesome view of the loch. The stroll to town was quick, but the breakfast could've had more options.

    packed breakfast
    local area

    Just an optimal selection for a brief sojourn in Fort William with extraordinarily good value for money. They kindly prepared us a packed breakfast for our early hike up Ben Nevis, which was a lifesaver. Make sure to explore the local area—it’s stunning!

    Amazing views and comfy stay

    Had a one night stay, and it was awesome! The views of the loch were stunning, even with the cloudy weather. Trevor was super friendly at check-in, and our room was huge with lovely views all around. Breakfast was freshly cooked, loved that! Only wish there was more parking space. a fab spot!

    culinary gems
    fantastic hosts
    spacious comfort
    limited dining options
    wish for more

    Fort William is a foodie paradise! My hunt for local grub led me to Pierhead Takeaway for some cracking fish and chips. The Glentower itself outdid expectations with its top-notch breakfast that would make any chef envious. The hosts, Trevor and Catriona, are gems, ensuring that our family room offered space and comfort, and their tips made our adventure even more thrilling.

    If I had to nitpick, I'd say the only mishap was that we didn’t get to try more local eateries!
