We felt truly relaxed at the Heatherbank Guest House. Paul and Lorna were very welcoming and keen to offer suggestions for places to visit. Paul's porridge is amazing. The best porridge I've ever had, and I'm not exaggerating. A great lounge area for a nightcap and offering great views in the morning. Really recommend staying here.
Coille Darach B&B provides rooms in Strontian. This bed and breakfast offers free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi.

An excellent bowl of perfectly cooked porridge followed by bacon, egg, and beans - what's not to like? The area is also very beautiful though we didn't have as long as we would have liked to explore it further.

Location was great, breakfast was very good and staff were wonderful.
Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this property is located 12 miles, or a 30-minute drive, from the south of Fort William in the Highlands of Scotland. This hotel overlooks Loch Linnhe.
Glenfinnan is stunning! I was there for a wedding at the Glenfinnan House Hotel, so I didn't get a chance to visit the landmarks in town, but I did get a chance to Loch Shiel and it is gorgeous. I wish I had had more time to tour around, but I got a taste of the beauty and tranquility of the area. I would love to go back and visit someday.

Nice little area with a couple of Hotel / restaurants.
Nice little area with a couple of Hotel / restaurants. Once you've seen the viaduct, the monument and the wonderful Loch Sheil there isn't a great deal unless you're into walking or cycling. Plenty of trails in the area and a good base to explore further up towards Mallaig.

Having seen old rail posters of Glenfinnan Viaduct, I tried a 2 mile walk from the Visitor Centre via the Viaduct to the old restaurant carriage. I did it before breakfast, so was the only one out. What fantastic views of the Viaduct and loch. There are numerous waiting signs on the main road. I later found out that due to Harry Potter queues of build up on this path.

Beautiful stop for sightseeing and scenic views.
Beautiful stop for sightseeing and scenic views. The Glenfinnan monument is wonderful and steeped in history. Make sure you climb to the top for spectacular views (even a great view of the viaduct). The viaduct is a must for Harry Potter fans. It is honestly a distant second, though, to the history and scenic beauty of the monument rising over the Loch.

Great spot to spend 2 or 3 days. Car essential.
Great spot to spend 2 or 3 days. Car essential. Don't waste your money on the "Harry Potter" train. The Scot Rail normal service uses the same station and tracks and costs £15 for 2 people one way; the Jacobite train costs nearly £70 for the same journey. All you get extra for your money is a bit of chuff chuffing and some steam. Big disappointment. Prince's House Hotel is brilliant for an evening meal.

Lochs, mountains and blooms everywhere!
Lochs, mountains and blooms everywhere! Glenfinnan in May was a delight. Took a Loch Sheil cruise from near Glenfinnan House( great food) and rode the viaduct made famous by the Harry Potter movies on the Jacobite steam train.
I didn‘t spend much time in the cabin, because I was hiking all day (or watching the steam train of cause), but the nights were very cosy and - most important as a female solo traveler - I felt very safe! I loved the view and enjoyed the little „beach“ in front of the cabin. The water pressure in the shower was better than at home. I didn’t meet Claudia in person, but communication with her was very good. Self check-in was super easy. Every person I met in Glenfinnan was very welcoming and helpful!
The house is beautiful. The surroundings of Loch Shiel are breath taking and inside is a good size yet cosy and comfortable. It is very close to the main sites in Glenfinnan - the viaduct, monument and visitors centre so as we were only passing through this was ideal. The hosts had a very informative welcome pack and there are all the amenities you need in a holiday home. If we didn't need to get back to work we would have loved to gave stayed longer. Would highly recommend this property.
Loved the location. Nice old house with big rooms. Jason & Jack very friendly and welcoming. Quiet but not far from Fort William with restaurants etc. If you are a Harry Potter fan, this is the location for you. The lake surrounding hogwarts is about 5 minutes away (loch shiel) as is the glenfinnan viaduct that the hogwarts express hurtles over (10.45 ish each morning). Dumledore’s final resting place is 10 minutes further out.
The location was perfect. Ideally situated for what we wanted to see and do. We walked to the Glenfinnan Viaduct lookout via the woodland path at Glenfinnan Station. Fantastic!!! We visited the White Sands at Morar. Experienced the Jacobite Train journey from Fort William to Mallaig. Drove to Loch Ness to see if we could spot Nessie!!!
The Armoury was a great base, clean and comfortable, quiet at night - Perfect!
Lovely hotel in a great area. The food was exceptional, all the food was locally sourced and tasted wonderful. We stayed for 2 nights and had dinner on our 1st night and was so impressed we decided we would have to eat there again. The breakfast was also exceptional, homemade breads, buns, marmalade, sausage, black pudding etc. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Location was perfect. Host was particularly accommodating and communication was excellent. Layout great with bedrooms downstairs and living updstairs. Facilities were great - ie staple foods provided and details thought about. Would be spectacular in the winter. Close to Glenfinnan Viaduct and coffee cart across the road.
The hosts were welcoming and the food was amazing! Everything was home cooked and baked, of the area and in season. Fabulous. The hiking trails leaving from the hotel were great and the train station very close. Loch Shiel is so beautiful. Staying here allows you to see the viaduct and loch when there are few tourists.
We loved that everything you could possibly want in the form of facilities and provisions were there. It is a very homely and rustic lodge. A skip and a hop to the train station where the Jacobite train comes and a wonderful scenic walk to the Glenfinnan Viaduct (Harry Potter fans) and the Bonnie Prince Memorial.
The location is superb, right on the shore of loch shiel and a walk away from Glenfinnan monument and the famous viaduct. Spacious and comfortable on the inside. Loved the bed. Loved the shower (although only enough hot water for one shower so best to take advantage of the size and shower together!)
The hotel is not in your average city centre location, so don't expect an array of shops, eateries, cinemas, etc. It is in a perfect location to explore the stunning West Highlands scenery.
All things considered, I can only speak highly of staff and facilities.
Very clean very comfortable.
Location great and we felt soothed by the tranquility of the spot and also had a lovely meal at the local hotel 2 mins away
I thoroughly enjoyed and hope to go back
Fantastic location very close to Glenfinnan Viaduct. Small family owned hotel with exceptional service. Food was amazing. Great value. Would unequivocally recommend.
