    Beautiful rural location
    We had a wonderful family stay and everything we needed in the kitchen was included in the well-appointed, warm home. The views from the breakfast table are breath-taking!

    Peaceful farmhouse
    Our family of two adults and two children loved our stay at Shepherds Rest. The mountain views are beautiful, the beds were cozy and we had everything we needed from kitchen supplies to puzzles and toys. It was a perfect base for taking the Jacobite train!

    Driving threw the tunnel was a hoot and a bit scary the first time. It was well located to the canal, the train, and the mountain. We enjoyed our stay. What would have helped: explanation on the heating system, maybe a book on what is around to see, and the games didn't have directions and were in a box that was different than the board. The fireplace was lovely but didn't know where to get wood.

    Wow!
    An beautiful property, amazing location and fantastic hosts! Stunning walks straight from the door. We had an amazing week, the dogs were permanently tired with all the walks and swimming. The property was one of the most well equipped we have stayed in. Will definitely return! Thoroughly relaxing. Thank you 😊

    Charming accommodations, scary tunnel
    We loved Ilona and the pooches. The house was great. The tunnel could be one of the scariest 5 minutes of our lives. The location is a wee bit off the beaten path, but everything else was terrific.

    Off the beaten path; looking at Ben Nevis.
    This property was perfect for our family of 5. (All 3 kids are now young adults). Clean; quiet; having a one bathroom for us and a second bathroom for the kids is very helpful. The eating area looks right at Ben Nevis. Check-in was simple; and the owner/host was very helpful and easy to deal with. The home is probably 4-5 miles from the commercial center of Fort William, so you likely need a car to stay here (which we had) or be willing to taxi. I certainly would recommend it.
