When is the best time to go to Fort William?

While Fort William is a year-round destination, the best time to visit is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its warmest and most pleasant. During these months, you can expect average daytime temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C, great for outdoor activities. The long daylight hours, with the sun often setting after 9 PM, give you ample time to explore the stunning natural landscapes, including hiking trails and the scenic coastline. It's an ideal time for families looking to enjoy the great outdoors without the chill of other seasons. For those interested in whale watching, July and August are particularly good, as these are peak months for spotting various whale species in the waters around Fort William. Boat tours are readily available during this period, offering a chance to see these magnificent creatures up close. If you are a solo traveller seeking a quieter experience with fewer crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures, late spring (May) or early autumn (September to early October) can also be good options. The landscapes are still beautiful, and accommodation prices might be slightly lower.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Fort William hotel for you.

The Guv’nor

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed only one night as we had a flight to take first thing in the morning. We, unfortunately, missed the breakfast so we canbot comment. It was, however, a nice thought. The room was okay but the bathroom door needed some repair. The staff was very nice."

Holiday Inn St. John's Conference Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Waterslide and pool was great. Was able to check in early, which was perfect. Breakfast at Eastside Mario’s was a bit ridiculous. Can’t believe I had to pay $12.99 for a kids meal which consisted of a bowl with a container of yogurt you would buy at the grocery store in a pack of 4 (like didn’t even take it out of the container, lol) and pineapple and melon for fruit, which looked like it was from a fruit tray. In all the hotels I’ve ever stayed at I’ve never seen such a thing. Felt like a prank. Should maybe provide a discount on the restaurant for all guests, no matter how it was booked. Especially if that’s the only food option."

Delta Hotels by Marriott St. John's Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were friendly. The rooms were kept in excellent shape. Parking in the lower level with easy access. The pool was in the lower level with wonderful warm water and hot tub. A nice restaurant and bar. Many sitting areas and a coffee/ ice cream/ snack bar. The bonus is a 5 minute walk to downtown shops and bars and Harbour."
