Breakfast is the sort of start that sets you up for a day on the hills, and Glentower Lower Observatory can also put together a packed lunch for anyone heading out towards Ben Nevis. The B&B sits on Achintore Road, close to Fort William, with mountain views and a garden to sit in when the weather allows.
Rooms are individually decorated and come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi, and iPod docks, with drinks available in room and family rooms on offer for those travelling together. Practical touches such as 24 hour reception, luggage storage, and free on-site parking make arrivals and departures straightforward.
The surrounding area suits walkers, golfers, and anglers alike, with fishing, a golf course, and walking routes all nearby, plus pubs, restaurants, and entertainment within easy reach.

What guests say
We had a lovely stay at the Glentower and the hosts were friendly & helpful. We stayed 5 nights and the daily room service was a lovely touch. The location to Fort William High Street was a 5 min walk. Breakfast was lovely and the hosts were very accommodating. We planned to leave a little earlier than breakfast on our last day and they kindly made us a little pack up to be on our way home. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely one of the best places you can stay. Incredible !!! Wonderful value for money. Great views, the rooms are impeccable and a very good size. Compared to a more expensive hotel we just stayed at in Portree this facility is head and shoulders above them. From the moment you walk in to opening the door to your immaculately clean bedroom and bathroom you can feel the warmth and attention to detail from the hosts. Do not miss the opportunity to stay here if Fort William is one of your destinations.

Fantastic place to stay when visiting Fort William. Brilliant hosts with time for their guests. First class bedrooms with all you need for your stay with a top quality breakfast to start your day. The views from the front of the house looking across the loch are breathtaking. Will definitely be our number one destination when visiting Fort William.
