Hotels Near Old Inverlochy Castle in Fort William

When I got to the hotel, I was asked to pay a little bit more than what was advised by trip.com, but every penny was worth it! Location is great, staff are very friendly and welcoming, the room was absolutely fantastic, and the full Scottish breakfast was generous and tasty. The only disappointment was I couldn't get a bath because the bathtub obturating plug didn't work properly. However, the overall experience was good. Thank you!

Prices start at £4 or £5 per night... This is an old castle hotel on the west side of the Scottish Highlands. From a common area point of view everything is well done and impeccable. But from the point of view of the rooms...the price/performance ratio is obviously super low. The facilities are outdated, so I asked for a humidifier... A hair dryer that was produced 20 years ago came, which was completely unacceptable and had no humidifying effect at all. The shower room has very strict requirements on the size of the guests, and I personally feel that the water pressure can be further improved and improved. The laudable point is that the shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap in the bathroom...all have two ball royal certifications, and the quality is also carried. The cold and hot water device of the washbasin is a traditional separate type, which is the kind of water that you either use cold water or hot water, and it cannot be warm water anyway. The sofa in the guest room is made of fabric. The disadvantage is that you can't see whether it has lice or whether it is clean. Anyway, it is so old that people don't want to sit on it at all. The carpet is lint-free, which means it's ”aged”. Well, let's talk about the public area: the restaurant's production is still quite standard, with Michelin standards, whether it's dinner or breakfast... It's pretty good, but the quality of the coffee is not good. The service staff are warm, courteous, serious and smiling. There are several casual living rooms and even dining rooms in the indoor public area, all of which are luxurious, comfortable, freehand, and comfortable, and there is nothing to fault. There are a large number of areas in the outdoor woods and paths that need to be improved, such as greening projects. One last thing to add: parking is free. After all, the owner, Mr. Chai, is a Chinese from Southeast Asia. The land of the ancient castle covers an area of 5,000 acres... If parking charges are required... it would be too stingy. In general...you can say that it is an ancient European style, but I personally think that the ancient European style does not necessarily need to update or refresh the facilities and furniture. Especially with such a large area, if the greening is not done well... it really responds to the old saying ”gold and jade are outside, and there is nothing in it”.

We booked a family room for 2 nights. Room wasn't ready when we checked in at 3pm. Room did not look like any of the website photos as it seems there are no photos of the family rooms on the website. The room was very basic - only 2 coat hangers for 6 beds. Double bed against wall is not a comfortable option as you have to climb over partner to get in and out of bed. No chairs or anywhere to sit. TV doesn't have signal and there's nowhere to sit and watch it from anyway. Very slow wi-fi, so almost impossible to cast to TV. The emergency exit light on the ceiling was taped up. The kettle is not big enough for more than 2 people at a time, and it doesn't fit into the tiny sink to fill. View of car park - not the mountain or forest view as advertised. All in all the room was adequate for our stay but hugely over priced for what it was. The Nevis Range Bar was disappointing too, mainly because they weren't serving the full menu but you aren't made aware of that when you book. The toilets in the main facility needed cleaning, no loo roll or soap. It seemed that they had't been attended to the whole weekend we were there.

I really like this hotel. The view is amazing, and the reception is very friendly. They also have a restaurant and bar downstairs, which is really a saver for us after a long day of driving.

What more can I say about this place that hasn’t been said already? Without a doubt, it is one of the best hotel experiences you can ever have. This was my second visit to Glencoe House and it was just as special as the first – and what a high bar to maintain. We stayed in Suite 1 and the antique décor is beautiful with plush sofas and stylings. You instantly feel relaxed and at home when you enter. Somehow it has an inherent cosy feeling mixed in with the finery. The room has luxuries such as a wine selection, full bar, and an amazing hot tub out the back. There is nothing – and I mean nothing – like sitting in the hot tub on a sunny day, taking in the gorgeous vista of the rugged highlands and Loch Leven. The food is also sublime, and dining is a very unique experience in the hotel. Breakfast and dinner are provided as in-room dining, so the amazing staff bring Michelin star quality food to your own personal dining table in your suite, which also happens to have an amazing view of the bay. Yes, the experience is as good as that sounds. The cooking staff are also so accommodating for gluten and dairy allergies, and were able to make special meal requests for my partner who is intolerant to both. And the bespoke dishes were lovely. If I had to try and name what is so special about Glencoe House compared to other hotels (because you only need to read all the reviews to see that it definitely is special), I think it’s that the experience feels more like a chilled-out luxury retreat than a hotel stay. Everything is brought to you, everything is done for you, everything is available to you in your room, everything is comfort. All you have to do is eat, drink, relax in the hot tub, go for stunning walks in the grounds, and enjoy the tranquillity. Trust me, within minutes of entering your hotel room, you’ll find your inner zen. I’ve never felt so relaxed so quickly in any stay I’ve had anywhere. So, if a chilled-out luxury experience of the highest quality is what you want … this is the place for you. No discussion.

Really great Hotel. Cheapest around as well so don’t really get when people book cheap hotels and complain that it’s not 5* 😂. Location is amazing. The Loch is beautiful. Staff are really nice. Rooms have everything you need and are quite spacious. Food is really good although a wee bit expensive but still good sized portions.

We stayed here on their 3 night Hogmanay package from 30th December - 2nd January and had a fantastic time When we arrived we were a little confused as the signage on the building doesn't match the website so thought we had the wrong place but once you step inside it is a beautiful and cosy inn. The bedrooms were small but lovely and recently decorated. The bathrooms were a little tired but fine. Each meal we had there was exceptional. They have a great head chef and we really were so impressed with the quality of the food. We felt like we got to sample a lot of the local produce. The staff were all really lovely and took great care of us. One of the wait staff played bagpipes at midnight on New Years Eve which was fantastic. The location is perfect to get to Glencoe Mountain as well as Ben Nevis. Its really well situated. All around I would really recommend spending New Years Eve for a proper Scottish experience and I think we will book this again this year with a bigger group of friends.

In fact, Glencoe Canyon does not have a fixed attraction. After coming from Lomond Lake and entering the mountains, every viewpoint is an attraction. There are two visit centers along the way, and the scenery is not as good as the view point. However, the most beautiful attraction in Glencoe Canyon is actually in this hotel. The hotel is located on the peninsula in the lake, the peninsula is more than 10 meters above the lake surface, the mountains and rivers, large areas of bluebells, the hotel hidden in the landscape, a picture of a paradise. Walk around the peninsula, take pictures, and watch the sunset, which is very enjoyable. Free parking lot, the room size is too big, the facilities inside are good, clean and sanitary. Warm service and good breakfast. Two-story building without elevator.

We stayed in one of the older waterfront lodges. The scenery was absolutely stunning and to be able to sit in the hot tub on the balcony was amazing and made our whole experience. The lodge however left a lot to be desired for the ‘luxury’ labelling and price tag. The interior was basic at best and was in dire need of some love and a refresh. What really spoiled our stay however were the rock hard beds and pillows. We really struggled to sleep and have never been as uncomfortable and in pain in the morning. We even tried sleeping on top of the duvet to no avail. Such a shame for such an incredibly beautiful setting. The restaurant food was very good but again the interior could really use some love and upgrade. Staff were helpful and attentive however.
