Innisfree Guest House

The property was easy to get to after our canal cruise. Beautiful part of Scotland. The property and our room were lovely and so spacious. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful. They even gave us a lift to the train station when our taxi was late. They also supplied a delicious breakfast each morning. We didn’t have a car but if you enjoy a walk, Fort William is close by and the local shops are even closer.

The room was very clean, comfy large bed, and the view would have been perfect if Ben Nevis hadn't been shrouded in clouds, (obviously not the owner's fault), the shower wasn't brilliant, because in our room, it was an electric one with no pressure. The location was perfect for taking the train from Banavie Station to Mallaig, it's an easy 15 min walk, but there is also a carpark at the station (2 min drive). If you want a cooked breakfast, the Moorings Canalside Café Bistro serves breakfast 7:30 am - 9:15 am, (not openly advertised), because it's also the breakfast room for the hotel. You have to use the hotel entrance from the carpark. It's best to get there after 8:00 am. The carpark is behind the hotel, for the Neptune Staircase (series of locks) which is a must-see! They even raise the Banavie Swing Bridge into Fort William to allow the yachts to go through, so be warned if you're in hurry to get into Fort William.

Beautiful personable accommodation, very clean, quiet, attention to detail, everything we needed was readily available. Great host who gave us great hiking recommendations.

Nothing

We were only at the property for a few hours as we arrived late and left early the next day, but everything was perfect. Andy and Emma responded to messages promptly and gave clear directions; the location with a view of Ben Nevis was beautiful and a short drive from Fort William town centre; the room was comfortable and the real bonus was the provision of kettle toaster and fridge with teas and coffees, proper milk and juice and an assortment of breakfast items such as muesli bars, bananas, yoghurts bread and pastries - perfect for the start of our WHW walk. We hope to return and spend more time around FW and Banavie.
