What's nearby

  • Now almost 200 years old, Neptunes Staircase is designed to lift or drop boats almost 20 metres in a series of 8 locks taking about 90 mins for the full cycle to take place. It's a small but worthwhile detour whilst travelling through Fort William to see it in operation.

It’s not apartment it’s sharing!

Never book from hotels.com again it’s very misleading never thought I would share the flat with other strangers. It clearealy says in room appliances. Very confusing. Please let others know it’s shared bathroom and toilets and kitchen. Felt very uncomfortable. Girish

Es una buena opción para dormir cerca de Fort William (a unos 10 minutos en coche) sobre todo si son varias personas. Son habitaciones compartidas con literas. También hay baño y cocina compartida.
