We stayed at Achintee at the end of September having previously stayed around 4 years ago. On arrival we were met by the wonderful and charismatic, Scot who greeted us like old friends. Our room this time was on the ground floor and although not on the same huge scale as one of the rooms upstairs, was still large, spotlessly... more

We stayed here to climb up Ben Nevis after finishing the West Highland Way. The Glen Nevis setting is beautiful, very peaceful and quiet in the evening. The double room was enormous and very comfortable. Great breakfast. I'd recommend eating next door at the Ben Nevis Inn, much better food than trekking in to Fort William. more

We chose Achintee for a number of reasons - it's recommendation in some of the WHW guidebooks; it's position smack bang at the start of the Ben Nevis ascent - something we had planned for a wee jaunt after finishing the last stage of the West Highland Way; the knowledge we could get a good meal and some drinkies at... more

Excellence began on booking when I was advised that it would be worth booking evening meals at the (very) nearby Ben Nevis Inn. That turned out to be superb advice. Achintee Farm is at the foot of Ben Nevis (and... more

Had a great experience at Achintee Farm. Not really a working farm, but designated as such on trail maps. Right at foot of Ben Nevis trail but lots of other hiking convenient from the B&B. Near river and right across from ranger station. Our room was huge with a bathroom which was bigger than an Edinburgh hotel room! Unexpected bonus,... more

Achintee Farm is the perfect location for anyone wishing to stay in the countryside outside Fort William. Situated in Glen Nevis, it has wonderful mountain views from all sides. The gardens are beautiful and a great place from which to watch the varied birdlife in the glen. Perhaps the best feature of Achintee is it's proximity to the Ben Nevis... more

We had a wonderful experience at Achintee Farm. Scott and Heather Gunn are excellent hosts, filled with good humor and knowledge of the surrounding area. Our room was huge and well appointed. The breakfasts were great, and the Ben Nevis Inn is a close walk for dinner. When we return to the Ben Nevis area, we will definitely stay at... more
