Friendly staff, great location…
Jeff
Trevor and his wife and staff keep the place immaculately. The beds are comfortable and they make you feel at home. The breakfasts are so delicious and freshly made. They are also so helpful at suggesting things to do. Such a wonderful time!
John
Great location clean rooms hosts were very friendly and inviting! Highly recommend
David
We had a truly wonderful stay! Our hosts (attentive, informative and welcoming) have a beautifully decorated and well maintained property. Clean, comfortable, lovely, safe and with a breathtaking view of the water. The parking is close and convenient and the location is just 5 minutes walking distance away from Fort William shopping, restaurants and cafes. The location is also ideal for traveling to some incredible spots in the highlands. Parking is close and convenient. A great place to stay. Included breakfast is from 8-9 a.m. Loved our stay!
Barry
Nicest people we’ve ever encountered at a B&B. This place is a gem.
Wendy
Lovely place. Close to downtown
Helen
Touch of luxury
Beautiful room with a view over the loch. Great bathroom with shower and claw-foot bath. This stay was a touch of luxury in so many ways.
The hosts were fabulous. I was travelling with my mum and Trevor responded to questions fast and in detail, providing a ground floor room on request and info about taxis and eating places. A great place to know about and we will definitely return.

Great spot. Close to the downtown. Friendly staff
Robert
Trevor greeted us at the front door with a smile, even though we had a late check in. Our room was very comfortable with great views out over the water. Had a hearty breakfast every morning served by very friendly staff. We left before breakfast on our last day. Trevor made us a bag lunch for our trip. Glentower was a great choice.

Short break staycation
We had a 2 night stay at the Glentower B&B last weekend. The accommodation was brilliant and the owner Catriona was very welcoming. Amenities were perfect and as expected and during this period of covid 19 the cleanliness was of a very high standard which made us feel completely safe. Perfect location for walking into the town. Would highly recommend a stay here
Verified traveler
The room was immaculate with a lot of attention to details. Special mention to the bathroom which has a superb shower cubicle and fantastic toiletries. The cooked breakfast was very good, and staff full of attention. The property location is also very good with a number of good restaurants within walking distance, and the pedestrian street nearby. I would definitely consider staying there again next time I am up in Fort William.
Rosie
Loving FW and this lovely B&B!
Beautiful building right on the loch - lovely hosts who made our stay just great!
Emily
Brilliant service, fantastic location
The staff here are extremely polite, so welcoming and seem to genuinely enjoy what they do. The breakfast was lovely (even though it doesn't have beans on!!) Haha but everything about our stay was perfect. Very quick and easy check in and check out and always someone there to help.
MikeH
Very nice quality B&B within a short walk of Fort William, with excellent breakfast and very welcoming hosts. Plus the Cow Hill circular walk goes past the front entrance.
John&Frances
Excellent. First time we stayed in Fort William. Both Trevor and Catriona made us feel very welcome. Room was lovely looking into garden. Breakfast, thoroughly enjoyed. COVID 19 compliant. We will return.
Ellen
Lovely Stay at Glentower
We had a fantastic stay at the Glentower Lower Observatory. The owners, a married couple, were so sweet. The breakfast was good, and on a day when we had an early start they offered to pack a lunch for us in lieu of breakfast. Our room was amazing - we had a Tower Room which had a circular sitting area, perfect for when we had to work during our holiday. The room was very comfortable and adequately supplied with everything that might be needed away from home. Our river view was also great and unobstructed. The location of the B&B was perfect, just a couple minutes work to the start of the main shopping street in Fort William.
BirthdayGirl
Great location, amazing breakfast, and a 5-star service. The owners were just lovely and accommodating of all our requests and even called restaurants and the castle to make reservations for dinner for us. Overall, a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this place.
Verified traveler
Wow! This property was amazing. I am very glad they had availability when our holiday plans changed last minute. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, providing recommendations on dinning and local sites. The room was large, clean, and well decorated including bathroom amenities (even conditioner which has been hard to come by). Included breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. This was a perfect experience and we so hope to return.
Louise

A perfect weekend
Lovely hotel, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with hot & cold choices, full Scottish breakfast, smoked salmon & scrambled eggs etc.
The owner recommended some great places to eat & drink and told us us how to tickets for the Jacobite train which was sold out on line.
All in all, the hotel was fabulous and a great base to explore the highlands from

Beautiful building, exceptional room, friendly (but non-intrusive) owners and staff. Fabulous breakfast.
Verified traveler
Location of the property in terms of walking distance to pubs & restaurants. The room was bright and the bathroom spacious.
Verified traveler
The accommodation was very spacious & in good order. Only 'fault' we could speak of was no sitting room to relax in after an outing or returning early during the evening. Otherwise a very comfortable home - very comfortable indeed. Recommended without hesitation - we would happily stay again.
Verified traveler
Loved the location. Hotel was very clean, food was fantastic and the staff extremely friendly. It was fun knowing about its historical significance.
