A working farm guest house at the very foot of Ben Nevis, at the start of the Mountain Track from the Achintee side.
About Achintee Farm Guest House
Achintee Farm Guest House sits at Achintee, on the eastern bank of the River Nevis directly opposite the main Glen Nevis visitor centre, at the point where the Mountain Track begins its climb up Ben Nevis. It remains a working farm as well as a guest house, giving it a genuinely rural, unpolished character compared with hotels closer to town.
Rooms are simple and comfortable, geared towards walkers rather than a country house stay, with a hearty breakfast served before early starts on the mountain. A bunkhouse on the same site offers a budget option for larger walking groups.
Its position right at the foot of the Ben Nevis path is the main draw, cutting out the drive or walk that most other accommodation requires before setting off, though it sits a couple of miles from Fort William's shops and restaurants along the glen road.
