Lochview Guest House

20th November 2024:

One of our favorite places we stayed in Scotland! Exceptional view, wonderfully clean, delightful hosts who are super knowledgable and have plenty of recommendations about the area. And the breakfasts were to die for! Though we ended up not needing it, it was also really cool to see an "early breakfast" option for those leaving before usual dining hours.

Do not hesitate to book Lochview Guest House!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your very kind review - we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us! Maybe you'll visit again some day. You will always be welcome. Very warm wishes, Pen & Micha.

Lots of good walking - waterfalls, canal, mountains. The museum in Fort William is well worth a visit on a wet day.

Would Recommend: Yes

I had a lovely 2-night stay at Lochview. The room was spotless, hosts were lovely, and a very nice breakfast with a view! Would definitely recommend.

The location is lovely and quiet; however, it is a very steep walk up from town. I was aware of this and not a problem for me but could be for some. It’s only 5 minutes or so walk down to the High Street (shortcut easily found which has steps and breaks the journey up a bit on the way back). A good walk to get the heart rate up! Pay & display parking readily available at bottom of the hill if you don’t want to walk it. Highly recommend the Limetree Restaurant (Silly Goose) at the bottom of the hill. An absolutely superb meal with excellent service.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for this great review, and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay. The hill can be quite a challenge - fortunately there are taxis in town to help at the end of an evening! We're glad you felt that the views were worth it :) Do hope you relaxed and got some rest, and maybe we will see you again in the near future. Warmest wishes, Pen & Micha

14th October 2024:

12th October 2024:

Super friendly and helpful host*in, beautiful room with views of Loch Linnhe, really cosy room and one feels at home, delicious rich breakfast made fresh from home. I would love to come back this time and can really recommend this place. The more strenuous the walk from Fort William, the more worthwhile it is to stay in a nice room with sea view.

- Walk to the top of Cow Hill - Many restaurants in Fort William - Trip to Glennfiann for Harry Potter fans ;)

Would Recommend: Yes

So great to hear from you, and thanks for your great words. We really enjoyed your time with us, and are so happy you enjoyed it too! Please do visit us again in the future - we'd love to see you again. Warm wishes, Pen & Micha.

Gorgeous property with breathtaking views. Amazing service, delicious breakfasts, clean and comfortable rooms.

Take a cab to the property. It’s on top of a hill (which is why there’s breathtaking views). It’s an easy walk down to the town center.

Would Recommend: Yes

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and many thanks for taking the time to write the review. Special thanks for equating the hill with the view: it can be a bit steep at the end of a long day but we certainly believe it's worth it :) Very warm wishes, Pen & Micha.

3rd October 2024:

Our stay at Lochview Guest House was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Micha, who gave us a helpful briefing upon check-in. The high standard of cleanliness throughout the guest house was exemplary, and the cozy, well-decorated rooms made us feel right at home. Situated on a hill, the guest house offers a serene, quiet atmosphere with stunning views of the loch and the beautiful garden. Our room was spacious and brightly lit, with comfortable bedding that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The common lounge area was a perfect spot to relax, with its warm, cozy ambiance, large TV, and selection of books. One of the highlights of our stay was the freshly cooked, hearty breakfast served in the dining room, where we could enjoy breathtaking views of the loch. While waiting for our pre-ordered breakfast, we were treated to a lovely continental spread of croissants, toast, cereal, yogurt, mixed fruit, and more. Afternoon tea with cake, served while soaking in the beautiful loch view, was another memorable moment. Pen and Micha’s commitment to high service standards was clear in every detail. They put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring that we had a comfortable and unforgettable stay. The guest house’s quaint neighborhood is also a delight. It’s a convenient walk down the hill, where you can explore the beauty of Loch Linnhe and the surrounding area, as well as shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Would Recommend: Yes

We can’t thank you enough for sharing your home with us. Booking was easy, communication and support was exceptional. Starting the day with the beautiful view and locally sourced breakfast, to a warm cozy suite to relax after a day of hiking was the best stay of our trip. If we do return to Scotland we will be adding this to our itinerary again.

We would highly recommend summer tubing with some hiking up the mountain!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the kind words and generous review. We are absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us at Lochview House, and you will always be welcome to stay with us again. The tubing sounds like great fun! We must try that some time. Warm wishes from us both, Pen & Micha.

Warm welcome was given with all house rules fully explained. Attention to detail was evident throughout the house. The breakfast room was first class with lovely views down to the water. When it came to the breakfast what can be said other then served with a smile and cooked and presented to perfection. Well done. Have no hesitation in recommending Lochview Guest House for anyone thinking in holidaying in the area.

Unfortunately our stay was marred by horrible weather, but there again that's Scotland. We don't always appreciate how lovely and fresh everything is. Is there a happy medium. ? Fort William is certainly a centre for outdoor activity with facilities and challenges for everyone. Certainly recommended as an outdoor holiday centre with many attractions within a 50 mile radius.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for the kind words - we really enjoy making breakfast for our guests are are glad you enjoyed it too! The weather this Summer has been unbelievably bad... very unusual and we look forward to sunnier days soon. September actually looks like it might be better :) Do visit us again some time. Spring time here is truly beautiful and every season has its surprises. Warm wishes and thanks again, Pen & Micha.

7th August 2024:

It was a pleasure to stay at Lochview Guest House. Two nights wasn't nearly enough to explore the beautiful surrounding area. A yummy breakfast with a stunning view was the perfect way to start each day and the service was second to none. The room with clean and equipped with everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. Thanks again!

I would definitely recommend taking a cab from the bus/train station as the journey is to the guest house is too steep make by foot with luggage. I loved taking a sunset cruise on Loch Linnhe upon arrival as well as a full day of hiking the Glenfinnan Viaduct - just a 30 minute ride away by train. Places to eat: Black Isle Bar and The Wildcat.

Would Recommend: Yes

What a lovely review - thank you so much. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and it was an absolutre pleasure to host you. Maybe you can return some day in the future. Warm wishes from Pen & Micha.

Very good value for money and welcoming host , nice view and comfort

There is a side selection of pubs and restaurants and the host makes their recommendations in their handbook, also faces to Ben Nevis trail is very accessible even on foot, with less than on your to get to the seat of the trail. But don't worry if you need transportation. Taxi services run past 8pm and they can go as far as the star of the trail at the Ben Nevis Inn, and public buses including night buses are available as well

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for the review, and for staying with us. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. You're welcome again any time! Very warm wishes, Pen & Micha

12th July 2024:

Lovely guest house with very friendly and attentive hosts. They went above and beyond our expectations to make our stay perfect. Lots of little unexpected attentions to detail. Very clean and spacious room.

The guest house is only about a 15-20 min walk from the station but the second half of the walk is all up hill so be prepared. If it wasn’t up hill, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the fabulous views from the breakfast room so well worth the effort. The Ben Nevis pub and The Tavern on the high street are both great for food and drinks. The seal spotting boat trip round the loch are well worth doing, and yes, we did see the seals. Get the train to Glenfinnan and follow the viaduct trail path from the station. It’s a lovely walk and if you time it right you might even see the steam train over the viaduct.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for the great review, and we are really glad you enjoyed your stay. The walk around Glenfinnan is lovely - such a good thing to recommend. We hope to see you again some time in the future. Very warm wishes, Pen & Micha

1st July 2024:

Pen and Micha are wonderful hosts and the hotel is in a great position with fabulous views. This is clearly an area for keen walkers but there is ample parking and plenty to see and do if you are less fit or less keen on walking.

Whatever the weather back home, remember your waterproofs and warm clothing. The lochs are there for a reason - this part of Scotland is wet and cool.

Would Recommend: Yes

Handy tips for other guests - thank you! Very kind of you to leave such a great review. We're delighted you enjoyed your time with us. Very warm wishes from Lochview House.

Lovely breakfast. Spotlessly clean and comfortable room. Welcoming hosts who couldn't do enough for us. Amazing views over the Loch. Good parking. Excellent location for Fort William Town and as a base for further travel. Only a few miles drive to ParkRun location for ParkRun tourists!! We hope to come back one day

Taxi back from town about £5. Recommend the loch cruise. Recommend the Grog and Gruel and the Ben Nevis and of course there is a Wetherspoons! Great as a base for going out and about.

Would Recommend: Yes

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us - it's always lovely when guests spend a few days here and start to feel at home. Thank you for the kind words and for the advice to other visitors. You'll havce to come back for another Park Run! Warm wishes from us both, Pen & Micha

Friendly couple, good quality food, great selection, there is also fresh milk for guests to use which is kept in the guests fridge to use with the complementary tea and coffee. The milk is semi skimmed which I am not a fan of, as I prefer full fat milk but i loved seeing the fresh milk over those small little plastic cups that are usually given. They taste yuck and smell funny. So the fresh was a real pleaser to see. Lovely views also.

The manago cafe restaurant was nice. I noticed they do not sell alcohol but for those who would like an alcoholic drink you can bring a bottle with a £2 pounds corkage charge. Ben Nevis is wonderful to climb. Br prepared for weather changes, and I highly recommend having some hiking sticks as they are great for coming down as it helps protect your knees. We Will come back to do other walks but that was the one that brought us here in the first place.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review! Sorry that your full fat milk preference was not noted at the time - please do ask us for any milk you like in the future :) Great advice on Ben Nevis, and we are also glad that you discovered Cafe Mango: a little gem. Warm wishes from us both.

Excellent B&B. It is even better than most hotels we have been too. Friendly landlady and landlord, you can feel their commitment and heart for leading this B&B. The breakfast especially was not comparable to any other B&B with all the options and taylormade service. Particularly clean and with a lot of heartwarming details in respect of the interior. A true gem, wish them all the best. Greetings from Austria.

Nice room. View from breakfast room lovely. Good breakfast with excellent scrambled egg. There's a snug for tea and coffee. Only drawback is the steep hill if walking back from town.

We loved our stay with you! Thank you for the beautiful big room and awsome views of the lake. Breakfasts were great and the surprise gift of whiskey in our room was so unexpected and we were grateful to enjoy the local distillery. The lengths you both go to for your guests is above and beyond any other place we have stayed on our journey. Thank you so much for a lovely visit. Hope to be back some day and we will definitely recommend your place to future travelers. Cheers! Cindy and Scott Norris

22nd May 2024:

I really enjoyed my stay! The room was well decorated and clean, the porch and garden and breakfast room were all beautiful, and hosts were amazing! It was a nice place to relax and be away from all the hubbub of town, but close enough I could walk in without trouble. Absolutely fabulous and if I come back to the area I'd book it in a heartbeat. (4 stars on location because steep hill; it's more like 4.8 stars but wanted distinction there)

Keep in mind that it's on a very steep hill (why the view is so amazing!) so cars may be better suited for those with limited mobility. Porch was good for sitting and enjoying the landscape. Black Isle Bar had good pizza, would recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for this. Lochview is, indeed, up a steep hill and we do suggest that those less mobile may prefer to stay lower down in Fort William. We appreciate the caveat :) Delighted that you had a good stay, and we would love to welcome you again in the future.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Our housekeeper is, indeed, brilliant. She will be so happy to hear your words. Warm wishes from us all, and safe travels.

Thanks for your review - we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Warm wishes.

6th May 2024:

Excellent stay from start to finish. Hosts are very welcoming lovely people. Breakfast in the wonderful breakfast room was lovely - all freshly prepared and piping hot. We stayed in the Linnhe suite which is superb - fantastic views and very spacious. Everywhere is exceptionally clean. We would not hesitate in recommending Lochview.

It is situated a short walk into town. It’s a bit of a climb back but well worth it for the view. There is plenty of parking around town if you aren’t into walking. We ate at The Grog and Gruel upstairs in its restaurant - food and service was very good and reasonably priced. Also ate at a relatively new restaurant - Sonas - again excellent food. We had a boat ride on the loch which was well worth it. Also the reason for the visit was a trip on the Jacobite steam train which was wonderful.

Would Recommend: Yes

Dear Both :) So many thanks for this lovely, warm review - we really appreciate the feedback and the time you've taken to write. As you know, we want all of our guests to enjoy their stay at Lochview! It sounds as though you were able to relax, take in the views and absorb a bit of Scotland. Wonderful. Great that you managed to get a table at Sonas, and that you got out on the water. It's a great way to see the area.... and a nice change from walking everywhere. We would love to welcome you again and, until then, take great care. Warmest wishes from us all at Lochview.

5th May 2024:

Owners knowledgable and helpful. Would stay here again. Breakfast was great with views of Loch. Lochview is up the hillside, but we were able to get taxis to easily return in the afternoons or evenings. My spouse refers to Lochview as her happy place.

We ate at Spice Tandoori twice, great food, excellent staff. Dinner at Grog and Gruel- best veggie haggis. Rented e- bikes at Off-Beat bikes on High St.

Would Recommend: Yes

We are so delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and found your 'happy place'... Many thanks for staying with us, and for sharing your thoughts. Also - great to know where the veggie haggis is good :) Warm wishes from us both.

3rd May 2024:

The owners are extremely gracious and organized. There are multiple bird feeders in the yard which were a gas to watch in the morning. There are expresso coffee makers in the room and the lounge was well stocked with relevant reading materials.

Would Recommend: Yes

So glad you enjoyed the bird feeders: we like to look after the wildlife as much as possible! Our garden is one of the things we love most about this place. Thank you for staying with us, and warm wishes from Lochview.

15th April 2024:

We had a lovely stay here. The breakfast was superb and the view beautiful! Our room was very clean and comfortable. The toiletries were good and there was plenty tea, coffee and hot chocolate with proper fresh milk and not long life pods. The creativity of the towels being origamied into swans was a fun touch, along with the ends of the toilet roll being made into a little boat! We loved that there was a lounge for guests to use (which we did) glasses for any drinks we had brought with us and a fridge to chill them in. An extra touch we appreciated was the afternoon cake available which was very welcome with a cuppa after our journey. All in all we were made very welcome and we will definitely stay here again should we journey to Fort William.

Would Recommend: Yes

Such kind words - thank you. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us and will always welcome you again. Very warm wishes from us both.

Fantastic, very welcoming, room was fantastic. Everything we needed and a beautiful view. Breakfast was also brilliant, lots of options and very tasty. Thanks for a great stay.

We ventured down to town and ate at the local Indian restaurant. Would recommend to other travellers. Would also highly recommend following the trail up Ben Nevis. We walked about an hour up from the visitor centre. Incredible panoramic views.

Would Recommend: Yes

It's our absolute pleasure - so glad you enjoyed it!

Familiar atmosphere, very friendly staff and thoughtful facility. We would definitely come back!

You should visit the Glenfinnan Viaduct. We recommend the "Black Isle Bar" and "Ben Nevis Restaurant" for food.

Lochview Guest House was delightful place to stay. Our room was comfortable with lovely products to use. The dining room has the most wonderful view of the Loch and our evening meal was one of the best we meals we had on our trip. A delicious and generous breakfast was also enjoyed. I would highly recommend Lochview Guest House.

We travelled from Oban to Isle of Mull by car but unfortunately the weather was against us so our drive around the Island was in pouring rain. I am sure had it been clear it would have been pleasant !!

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2023:

Pen and Micha (the proprietors) were very friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We stayed in the Nevis with a king size bed which was very comfortable and we both slept peacefully (many a place where I haven't slept due to the bed not being comfy, so this was a huge bonus). Breakfast was really nice with locally sourced fresh foods with views from the Loch in the breakfast room.

Steall Waterfalls is definitely worth a long walk out to it. If you like steam trains, do the Jacobite steam train, otherwise the Scotch rail service goes along the same track to Mallaig.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a really hospitable and comfortable stay. I’d give you 7/5 for the incredible generosity of your facilities; and if it was an option 10 out of 5 for the fabulous breakfast - so beautifully prepared and presented.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2023:

Really friendly staff and well equiped. It is at the top of a hill, so it is harder to walk or ride up, but it has a wonderful view of clouds over the loch.

Be careful going up and down the hill. There is a really good Indian restaurant in Fort William, Spice Tandoori, but avoid China Palace. The museum is interesting. The best things are on the roads around Fort William, such as Skye, Applecross and Inverary Jail. If going to Skye the bridge is always open, but the Mallaig ferry gets booked up. It is also worth visiting the end of the Caledonian canal at Corpach and the quaint gems and fossils museum there.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2023:

Pen and Mischa were courteous and friendly hosts for my three-day stay. For a traveller on foot, the hike uphill to the Lochview, via streets, lanes and hidden stairways, is well and truly worth the effort.

The Lochview is within easy walking distance of the railway station, town centre and -- ultimately -- Ben Nevis :)

Having used many B &B sin my time this has the very best one I have ever been to the communication, the booking ,the staff , the food especially the food the bed ,the view I could go on but the best thing to say is just go and stay there. If I could do anything different I would stay in the loch view room as that is the only thing I would change. A massive thank you and hope to come back one day xx

Tips try the cinema cafe the service and food fantastic. If you go on the Jacobite train make sure you go on the western isle boat trip, it fits in with the train time so you will have more than enough time to go on it and if you need a snack use the the bake house amazing food.
