When you visit the Scottish town of Fort William, you probably won't be spending too much time inside. But when you do, make sure you're at Premier Inn Fort William. We're a 5-minute walk from the train station and in the centre of this pretty town. In the West Highlands of Scotland, this breathtaking area is home to Ben Nevis, Britain's biggest mountain. Challenge yourself to some hiking and biking, cruise along Loch Linnhe play golf, admire local scenery from The Jacobite steam t train, or have a tipple at the Ben Nevis Distillery. When your legs are weary, tuck into a hearty meal at Brewers Fayre, our on-site restaurant, before drifting off in your super comfy, king-size bed ahead of another action-packed day.
We booked a family room for 2 nights. Room wasn't ready when we checked in at 3pm. Room did not look like any of the website photos as it seems there are no photos of the family rooms on the website. The room was very basic - only 2 coat hangers for 6 beds. Double bed against wall is not a comfortable option as you have to climb over partner to get in and out of bed. No chairs or anywhere to sit. TV doesn't have signal and there's nowhere to sit and watch it from anyway. Very slow wi-fi, so almost impossible to cast to TV. The emergency exit light on the ceiling was taped up. The kettle is not big enough for more than 2 people at a time, and it doesn't fit into the tiny sink to fill. View of car park - not the mountain or forest view as advertised. All in all the room was adequate for our stay but hugely over priced for what it was. The Nevis Range Bar was disappointing too, mainly because they weren't serving the full menu but you aren't made aware of that when you book. The toilets in the main facility needed cleaning, no loo roll or soap. It seemed that they had't been attended to the whole weekend we were there.
Bedroom was very 70s with dark, worn pine furniture , orange carpets, dark tuquoise walls & grey curtains so looked very dated. Lamp shades were mismatched, and Shabby and walls were damaged and scuffed. Bathroom had no hand soap but was clean. Areas on stairs with ornaments were thick of dust. The stair carpet changed on the 2nd floor and was very worn on the edges. Dinner was from a set menu for the deal we had booked. Steak pie arrived with 3 bayleaves still in with the meat. Veg was green beans, carrots & swede but the latter was inedible as it was so hard. Partner had chips which were frozen, not fresh and we noticed a few other diners had left theirs. I had mash but had to leave that as it was horrible instant potato. Dessert of sticky toffee pudding was very dry and only saved by the quantity of sauce provided with the sponge. We weren't asked at any point if we had enjoyed our meal & service was very slow at 7pm although staff seemed friendly enough. Breakfast was limited choice. Full Scottish, cereal, toast, over-cooked croissant, apples, oranges & yoghurt that had been stood on the counter top 7.30am to 9.30am. Definitely not worthy of another visit as it reminded us of old Blackpool b&bs.
The history a d location are lovely. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. Atmosphere were ruined in the drawing room and restaurant with the overly bright lights which caused reflection on the windows. This prevented a lovely view of the Loch and bridge. Most disappointingly was the receptionist coming at our back putting the drawing room lights back on full after I dimmed them slightly and she offered no explanation. Not one of the board games available were clean or complete making them pointless unfortunately. Ultimately it was minor details that could be easily fixed that let our stay fall a little short. Restoring all the log fires as opposed to electric ones would be great also.
ผผู้เข้าพักWe were looking for accommodation in the Lochaber area as a base for a kayaking weekend, and Corran bunkhouse fit the bill perfectly. Everything is good quality, and the rooms are clean and functional - ours had a nice ensuite too. There is a large common room with comfy seating and a log burner which was a nice place to relax, but we usually ended up sitting in the communal dining kitchen. The kitchen had everything you could need to make from snacks to big meals, and there was plenty of food storage and fridge space. Plenty of space to sit and eat too. A really big plus was the two drying rooms, one off the kitchen which had a dehumidifier, and another outside, which allowed lots of wet gear to be dried quickly - a real bonus if you're there for a few days. The owner Alan couldn't be more helpful, and gave us tips on the best places to eat wherever we were going. I can thoroughly recommend getting the ferry over to Ardgour to the pub for food. A minute from the bunkhouse, its free for foot passengers, the crossing takes about 5 minutes, and is a nice way to go to dinner. Overall i cant recommend the place highly enough. A modern, clean and enjoyable place to spend a night or two.
YYiu Wai RaymondThe location is remote but the environment of this location is quiet. Therefore, it is still valuable to live at the place.
We have taken the dinner at the centre. All the foods were delicious and excellent and the price was quite reasonable.
I will select this accommodation if we go to highland again.
