Unfortunately, we did not have a good night's sleep. There was a squeaky hallway door outside our door, and we could hear a lot of hallway noise. At the restaurant downstairs, we had a simple but tasty dinner of ravioli with a side of vegetables. In the morning, breakfast was simple but fine - it's always nice when a hot meal is included!

We were met by the Host Alex that helped us store our bags. When we returned later that evening, our bags were already in our room waiting for us.

Alex went the extra mile to see that we were taken care of and made us a takeaway breakfast along with some fresh coffee.

Well, what should I say. We found this so called B&B in the AA B&B Guide and thought the pictures…read morelook and the description read nice. So we booked a night in advance. Once we arrived, we parked our car on the private parking lot, which is pretty cool. Then we went inside and were welcomed, but just not in the Scottish awesome way that we were used to from other places. This place isn't a B&B, it's, as it says in the name, a guest house. That means it's more commercial. Our room was okay. Not very big, but big enough. Nod very modern, but we didn't care. It was clean and we had a bed to sleep in: perfect: It also said in the description: Complimentary sample of whiskey or sherry for every guest! So we tried it. The whisky wasn't a single malt as one might would expect in Scotland, but it was a mixed whisky, probably even Jack Daniels or something like that. In a so called Distillery Guest House, this was quite the disappointment. Breakfast was included, self service with eggs, sausages, and all the other Scottish breakfast delights. It was standard, and most importantly cooked and then kept warm for some time, so it wasn't the best breakfast we've had on our journey. But: it was okay. Thus: Three stars from me for an okay but not very special experience. My tip: go to Ben Nevis Inn for dinner!

After seeing that Torlinnhe wasn't yet listed with Yelp, I just had to add it myself. My husband…read moreand I recently took a trip to Scotland, with just about 2 days spent up in Fort William and the Western Highlands. We discovered Torlinnhe Guest House through TripAdvisor and just stayed one night, but it was excellent and we can't wait to go back. The guest house is owned by a Andy and Sue, a really sweet English couple who have now been living in Scotland for ~20 years and running this guest house for the last 5. Stepping into the place is like stepping into a kind friend's house. It is clean and homey, with comfortably-decorated rooms and a common room on the first floor for lounging or enjoying a full Scottish breakfast in the mornings. Andy and Sue really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable without being overly friendly or involved in your holiday plans. But if you have questions, they are a wealth of information and can point you in the right direction for exploring the UK's outdoor capitol. We learned quite a bit about the local area from our conversations with them, and Sue even went out of her way to drive us to the look out point to actually see Ben Nevis before our departure (we didn't have a car). We would highly recommend Torlinnhe and found it to be a gem of an accommodation and experience. We also went during low season, so were able to enjoy Fort William in a leisurely way.

We arrived as early in the afternoon as possible as we had hopes it would be worth it. We wound around the drive to the 2 story house and parked our car. We wandered in as the husband of the house(it's a husband and wife that own it), was by the front door. He gave us a tour of the beautiful house, including the breakfast area and guided us to our room. Our room was called the Ben Nevis. Fitting, as it had an awesome view of, the Ben Nevis! It had a hat of clouds on but the valley below was just as great. The room was open and cozy at the same time with many accouterments. The location was great as there was a restaurant right near by that was walking distance. the next morn we had an excellent breakfast with toast, many cheeses and meats and some salmon. It was perfect for us as it was fairly quick and great to it the road. We really do hope to e back. It may be on another continent, but worth trying to make it back.

Unfortunately, the weather was awful with endless rain, so we could only go running a bit and spent the rest of the day in our cosy B&B. We really appreciated the spacious room with the very comfortable armchairs in front of the electrical fire. The hosts are great and so is their freshly cooked breakfast. If you fancy to go out for lunch or dinner, the pub "Ben Nevis Inn" is just around the corner. Finally, I should mention that we slept like babies in the big bed.

There's plenty of info out there on how to book, routes, etc, so I won't go into that here. Tips I'll share: 1) book early - don't even think about trying to arrange this the night before. 2) don't do first class - while it's more comfy and usually our type of travel, we booked on one of the cars toward the back. That way you can see and video/snap pics of the front of the train as it goes over the viaduct. Makes you think lightening struck your forehead. 3) sit on the left side - if you're in the car facing to the front of the train, make sure your seat is on the left side. A much better view of the train going over the viaduct. 4) drink a beer or wine - even if it's 9:30 in the morning, which it was for us, have a brewskie...you're on vacation. 5) eat fast in Mallaig - don't spend a lot of time choosing restaurants. Pick a place the night before. When you arrive at Mallaig, run your happy bum to the restaurant you chose, order (and don't even try to get starters first then mains) and eat. You can take pics afterwards. Restaurants there are small, get slammed with each Twain's arrival, plus the local tourists who come by car. Hope this helps!

The Glen Nevis Holiday Park is situated right at the mouth of the Glen, and offers a range of…read moreaccommodation options - camping and caravaning, or self-catering cottages. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage, and it really was lovely. It was well equipped and furnished, and had everything we needed. The kitchen in particular was very well kitted out, with good quality items. The cottage was far cosier than I expected, getting us toasty warm when we got back in from hill-walking or mountain-biking, and kept us nice and snug while we nestled in on the rainy days. My favourite thing was getting up in the morning and having a quite seat in the sitting room, its large windows offering the perfect viewing opportunity to watch the red squirrels bounding about the lawns and trees. It's a very short journey to Fort William, either by car or bike, so you will be able to get everything that you need in terms of supplies very close by. If you're planning to climb Ben Nevis, then the holiday park would be an excellent base, as it's only a few minutes walk from the entry point to the hill.

Myself and my partner stayed here for two nights in July as we were climbing Ben Nevis…read more The site is fantastic with great facilities and we thoroughly enjoyed our two nights. Everything we needed was close by and I look forward to returning again. There was lots of information to hand for those planning on climbing the mountain and the facilities were clean and well maintained. The only reason I gave a 'very good' rating instead of excellent was because the price we paid on arrival was more than I was quoted over the phone. I hate hidden charges!

We booked a Short Break to Glen Water Park in October 2008. We booked through Hoseaons to stay at…read moreone of the Loch View Lodges for 4 nights. It was only a cheap break but the brochure made Glen Water look idylic - Log Cabins overlooking Loch Ochie, surrounded by beautiful pine wood forests with the foothills of Ben Nevis in the background. Perfect you may think?..... However after a long 7 hour drive we arrived to a shabby Log Cabin and became quickly dissapointed. The Cabins and lodges were in dire need of an upgrade and a good scrubbing. Hard to reach areas were full of cobwebs, Furniture was dated and worn and overall it was a major let down. The park itself offered a host of activities from Watersports to Absailing but some of the equipment looked way past its use by date so we didnt pay for any activities on-site. Glen Waters saving grace is the location - The surrounding area is beautiful with stunning scenery around every corner. We spent most of our time walking and hiking (and getting lost!). We were only approx 20 minutes from Ben Nevis which is an amazing site and about an hour from Loch Ness which is well worth a trip boy that monster is shy!! We were informed that Glen Water was having major refurb during the Winter, so hopefully they have now made the much needed improvements on the accommodation. It was a big let down for us after such a long drive but it has so much potential and hopefully will be restored back to its former glory one day! If you can bag a cheap break for under £100 its still worth a trip as the location is fantastic and well worth a visit.
