The Caledonian Hotel
I would say with the limited hotel options in Ft William it was fine. It is an older hotel with an updated room but very small, we had 2 twins. We did not eat there. It seemed booked up at our stay early May 2026

The Glen Mhor Hotel and Uile-bheist Brewery & Distillery
Got to love it when a place outdoes its photos online, this is one of them. My room felt like a little suite and was just a regular double. Beautiful tub that I of course did not use. Easy walk to shops and restaurants and pleasant lovely staff.

Highland Apartments By Mansley
Location was awesome. It had both a kitchen and laundry which allowed for a chance from eating out as we were on a 1 month holiday. Very clean, also unexpected was the room tidying after first night.

Sweeney Aviemore One
The room was perfect for our short stay in Aviemore. The location was located perfectly and surprisingly quiet even though the main road is next to it. There is parking which is easily accessible and was located to the apartment right next to it.
