The view from the property is stunning. Not all rooms face the view but it can still be enjoyed. Breakfast is great. Just ask and they do a great job.

View from the bedroom was out of this world , friendly informative owners. nice hot breakfast would have liked a bit more variety maybe tinned tomatoes in place of beans .
Double bed was a bit springy, coloured bed linen , steep climb to lodgings from fortWilliam not suitable for everyone .

The hosts, Sheena and Pat, were wonderful. they were very welcoming and had a beautiful room for us to sleep and rest. The breakfasts were delicious and cooked to order. The taxi did not come as ordered, so Pat personally took us to the station. They were both so gracious. we loved their little dog, Marley, too.

Hosts were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay and could not have been more helpful. Small double was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The walk to town and back was fine, only takes 10mins. Breakfast was tasty and plenty of choice. Would definitely stay again if we went back to Fort William.

Steps up to the property steep but flat to walk so made them easy to climb.
On street parking close to property so good, just below driveway.
Room overlooked the water so lovely view. Facilities were clean and tidy, bedding lovely. Double bed.
Breakfast facilities were lovely, good selection available and hosts were very welcoming.
Town nearby, within walking distance after parking car, no charge after 6 pm.
Nice stay.
Local stores to pick up supplies, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi and M&S foods.
There was nothing that we did not like.

Perfect location in the centre of Fort William. We were treated to a fantastic cooked breakfast every morning. We really liked the home from home feel. Everything was spotless and we felt very well looked after.
Can’t think of anything we said that could be better.

Nice and friendly. comfortable & clean. Pat could not have been a better host. Nice and convenient for the town centre.

Host very friendly and informative. Property very clean and lovely views.
Only problem from our point of view was location which was at top of a very steep hill and a climb of 39 steps to front door. Only a problem if you have fitness issues.

The location was great.
Liked everything. To top it off a fridge in the room would be five star.

exceptional views,very clean throughout,lovely breakfast,friendly host. nice shower.
being honest the room was on the small side,no where to store suitcase/bags and very little hanging space. probably great for 1 night stays.

Well presented little room with a good comfy bed. Very clean bathroom and shower that worked well. Lovely view of the estuary. Good tea and coffee facilities in the room. An excellent cooked breakfast with cereal and toast as well. Will be staying again.
Up a steep hill that may be difficult for some. Not a problem for us.

WE had a great time, the couple hosting (owners of Melrose) are really nice and welcoming. The room we stayed at had a great view of fort William which was really nice. Breakfast is good, they give you cold and option of scottish breakfast. The room is cleaned and tidy, good bathroom as well.
Be just prepared to walk up a hill as the house is located quite high up, which was hard for us as we were finishing the West Highland Way, but if you're just staying it should be no problem. We recommend it definitely.

The room was large, comfortable and clean. it’s quite close to the High Street but a steep walk back.
We wanted parking at the property but it was just in the road outside and the next door neighbour didn’t like us parking outside her house.
There’s a long path of steep steps before the ones you see in the photo up to the front door which isn’t great if you have much luggage.
Also the staircase inside up to the room was quite narrow if you have much to carry.
As I had broken my wrist a few days before it was all a bit of a struggle but I didn’t feel comfortable leaving anything in the car on the
street below.
My husband was disappointed that as we don’t drink tea or coffee there was no mint tea. Despite agreeing it was popular it didn’t appear the second morning, we provided our own. Perhaps a lesson to request in advance, but all the other B&B’s we stayed in on our tour had it available.
4.5
Very clean and comfortable room and excellent cooked breakfast. We were also offered excellent Scottish porridge on 2 of our 3 mornings. Hosts very pleasant and helpful. Town centre only about 10 minutes walk away, but a bit longer on way back due to the steep hills or steps - but a lot of the accommodation in Fort William was in a similar location simply because of the geography.

Loved the views from our room, loved the breakfast, loved the spacious room. Loved the proximity to Fort William.
The steep walk home can be a little tiring, particularly if you were out walking all day. However, we only stayed for two nights so it was okay. Any young, fit person would find it a doddle I'm sure, particularly if you have managed Ben Nevis!
4.0
Pat and Sheena very friendly. Was very comfortable and clean
Unfortunately didn't realise how steep Fortwilian was found some of the walking difficult. Also didn't realise how many steps up to Melrose.
