Lovely rooms. Really friendly staff.

A fantastic place which I would recommend to everyone. Great location with view of the lake. Great staff and owners, big shout out for Trevor and Sandra! The room was great with plenty of space for the four of us and it was very clean. Big bathroom and great shower! Breakfast was freshly cooked and of great quality. Definitely a place I will keep in my agenda for a next trip to Fort William.

United Kingdom3 ReviewsExceptionalWhen arriving we had the warmest welcome from Catriona & when she took us to our room we couldn’t believe the size of it and the beautiful view blew us away. The location is perfect for walking into town and Catriona & Trevor couldn’t have done more to help up us and ensure a lovely stay. The breakfast was lovely too - we’re so glad we chose Glentower observatory, would recommend to anyone and love to stay again!
