We never got an email with the code for the key safe. Contacted VRBO and was on hold for ages. I was given the phone number for the owner who we phoned and he contacted us back after some time. He gave us the code and was apologetic but still waiting for up date from yourselves. We got into the property some 2 hours late which wasn't a good start to our break. Communication had been good to this part. Accommodation suited us and great location. Would use again for a group of lads

Base Camp for a lovely outdoors vacation

Base Camp for a lovely outdoors vacation

Really good stay. There are a lot of stairs. Best views in town from upper deck. Super convenient location to walking area, train, library, supermarket, pubs, etc. Ample easy and safe parking. Slightly hard to locate. It might help to send a picture or put a flag on the hedge or something. Downstairs Entry holds an odor of past wetness but the upstairs apartment is fine. I am very sensitive and concerned at first but up the steps it isn’t noticeable. I love all the doors on all the rooms-even the kitchen. It allows you to change temperatures for each area quickly. Kitchen is well stocked for all needs. 3rd floor den has a treasure trove library for the area which was really helpful. Bedrooms were plentiful and comfortable. Wish our party was bigger, we didn’t use 2 of the bedrooms. We noticed the long counter upstairs in den with power outlets which would make a great place to do work if you need to work while you are away. We were very satisfied with our stay, our communication with Nick, check in, cleanliness was great, value and especially the view. We were only sad our stay wasn’t longer. 2 days weren’t enough for all the outdoors activities. Steal Falls were amazing.

Casual retreat

Casual retreat

This is a difficult review because my family had such varying opinions. This would be great for a youth group. The previous reviewers pointed out many of the features such as great location, plenty of cooking supplies, and an awesome view. We were looking for a break from hotels in our journey. The property allowed us to spread out, cook some meals, and wash clothes. This is not a fancy place, but more improved than the pictures show. It’s clean, but does have a strong mildew smell that you can quickly eliminate by opening windows. There was no clothes dryer, which was a huge disappointment for us. But 2 issues genuinely need resolution and hopefully will be addressed quickly. The master bed was comfortable. But the beds in the twin room were not usable, maybe a box spring and not a mattress? Our daughter ended up in the sofa so she slept neither night. The hot water heater for shower was also broken and required a game of chance as to what temperature would come out. There is a bathtub on the top level which helped. My son had his own cozy nook so he lived his stay. The WiFi, TV and cable were excellent. There are interesting displays and area information available. Parking is easy. I would recommend this place with caveats hoping that the beds and hot water are fixed soon.

This is a spacious and lovely place. Kitchen has all you need and the roof lounge is spectacular. Within walking distance to the train if you're going on the Jacobite train. Shops nearby and all activities at your door step. Good parking and lots of space in rooms. I would recommend this as a place for families or groups on holiday plus a romantic getaway using the ensuite bedroom in the lounge. We have had a fabulous stay.

An enigma

An enigma

The view from the top floor is wonderful. The accommodation is some what strange. 4 places for beds ,yes , 4 bedrooms ,no. Upstair lounge is also a bedroom and although super for socializing is not exactly suitable for anyone but last to bed and first up. Equipment is fairly good but the whole place is tired, shabby upholstery and windows and balcony doors that either do not open or do not shut. Having said that its great for the town centre pub ect. Shame it just shabby.

The price is very fair, Location is great... just a bit run down

We had a great stay and the location was perfect. I would recommend this for every budget traveller. The price was very fair, which made it easier to oversee that some things, like the much-used sofas and some of the beds, are very run down, especially the two single beds could do with a new mattress, as they didn't smell very nice, even with a new cover over it. But altogether we would recommend a stay here when you are fine to have a great view, great location, with a hostel standard.

Spacious, well-equipped and with amazing views

Spacious, well-equipped and with amazing views

This is an excellent property for a large group - it has 8 beds and a fold out sofa bed in the lounge. All the rooms are of a good size. The upstairs lounge is amazing - it is huge and the views it gives down Loch Linnhe and across to Loch Eil are fantastic. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining room seats 8 comfortably. The dishwasher is a real bonus - it does the dirty dishes whilst you go out. The position in the town is excellent too - only 3 minutes walk to the High Street but completely quiet. There is ample parking too. You don't come to Fort William to stay inside - but for those times when you are inside the Old Harbour Master's Apartment offers you everything you want. The only very minor niggles are that there isn't a decent tin opener and the tap in the kitchen drips - I am sure that it just needs a new washer. Notwithstanding these minor issues this is definitely a 5 star place to stay.
