About The Moorings Hotel
The Moorings Hotel sits at Banavie, a few miles north-west of Fort William, directly beside Neptune's Staircase on the Caledonian Canal, with open views across to Ben Nevis. The hotel is a purpose-built four-star property with comfortable, contemporary rooms, many looking out over the canal and the hills beyond.
Food is a strong point, with the hotel's restaurant serving a menu built on Highland beef, local seafood and game, and a more relaxed bar and bistro option for lighter meals. The setting beside the working canal locks gives an easy focal point for an evening walk, with boats regularly working their way through the staircase.
Banavie's position makes the hotel a practical base for the road north towards Glenfinnan and Mallaig as well as Fort William itself, a short drive away, and it suits guests wanting a quieter setting than the town centre without sacrificing a proper restaurant and bar.
