Perfect for the price we paid. Good breakfast. Every member of staff was so nice. We had the first room as we had a dog they suggested it would be easier and surprisingly not loud. Big hotel so lots of places to sit. Shows its age in parts but we didn’t mind that. Gorgeous view of the loch and close to fort William and Ben Nevis. Comfy bed and good shower. Lots of parking
