We had a great stay at the Glentower Observatory. Trevor and Catrina were very welcoming and informative suggesting places to visit during our stay. The room was clean and warm, breakfast was excellent and the location of the guest house was ideal for our stay in Fort William. A great place to stay if you're visiting Fort william.

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. Disliked · Really I cannot say anything that I didn't like. The place is simply fantastic and deserves all the best! I will return there next time that we will visit Fort William.

Very warm welcome, we felt at home instantly, cosy, warm very clean room and bathroom. We left reluctantly, lovely stay ! We found a couple of very good local restaurants at walking distance: ie Sonas, Spice Tandoori ps 1: we loved the shortbread biscuits that came with the tea ps2: we enjoyed the central heating very much

Fantastic stay here with great staff. Very comfortable stay in Tower room with great service and friendly staff with great sense of humour l. Short 5 minute walk to town and plenty of info in room binder which was very useful. Great breakfast with lovely black pudding and haggis which is the best ever just wished I had asked where it came from.Would not consider stying anywhere else in Fort William

The hosts were very friendly, room was nice and the location was great, but we had two sleepless nights as the bed was small and very uncomfortable.

Lovely two night stay at Glentower. Location is perfect - just 3 minutes walk to the town. Character building, comfortable rooms, charming smiley host, Trevor. Rooms were beautifully clean. Ours had a lovely seating area with loch view. Breakfast was excellent. I’ve given four stars, rather than five, because I had hoped for a nice bathroom with bath, but had a tiny shower room with noisy fan.

A great location, close to the town centre and within easy driving distance of many beautiful, scenic places. There was a great choice at breakfast and definitely plentiful enough to keep you going for a large part of the day. Gorgeous, local toiletries got your day off to a luxurious start.

This was the most enjoyable stay we have had in a long time. The accommodations were great as were the innkeepers. We couldn’t have been more impressed. The room was clean and comfortable. We were also introduced to The Highland Soap Company, which has the most bewitching smells. Thanks for the memories.

I can’t say enough good things about this lovely b and b. From our beautiful room facing the loch to the wonderful breakfasts it was our favorite stay on our trip! Convenient to and in walking distance of the main street shops made it a great location. There was so much to see and do that we could have stayed longer. Our bedroom plus sitting area was so comfortable after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast consists of cold buffet plus your choice of hot dishes. Quiet location even though it was on the main road. Host was very helpful with ideas for things to do. Highly recommend this lovely spot.
