The location of the hotel is what makes the property special.
The room was average and the staff were nice.
No soap in the washroom was gross though.

The location on the loch was amazing and it was a short walk to town. No air conditioning and it was warm in the rooms at night.

The Hotel is in agood location, enough parking and offers good views. The rooms are small which is doable, what we did not like was the bed, extremely uncomfortable. Its good to be bespoke, charming and unique but it always comes down to the bed.

This hotel had a comfortable clean bed and clean bathroom. Front desk staff was lovely. The hotel itself is hideous and is desperate need of renovation. It actually looks like a run down prison.

The property was a fine place to drop your bags and get a good night's sleep, but it wasn't special. The hotel is dated, but parts have been redone in recent years. The staff was nice and there is a bar and restaurant on the premises (which we didn't go to), but it's not walking distance to any Fort Williams activities. It does have a nice view of the Loch. Great as a way station on your journey, but not for a long stay.
