Stayed over Easter and had an excellent stay. Friendly and welcoming owners, very helpful, a very attractive and relaxing room with a lovely view, an excellent choice at breakfast. And only minutes from the town centre. Everything we wanted. Highly recommended.

We came to scotland to visit our daughter who was a study abroad student in Glasgow(Stathclyde). We stayed for ten days with the end of our trip ending in Fort William staying at Glentower. Our trip got better at each location we stayed. The place was absolutely serene. Our view was of the loch across the street. Views gorgeous. Accommodations... More

We stayed at the Glentower Lower Observatory Guesthouse during what turned out to be two of the wettest days of the year but were welcomed and very much enjoyed our stay despite the rain. We had booked at the last minute the night before and the owners were accommodating. Upon arrival the Guesthouse has a very distinctive pink exterior which... More

We arrived after a five hour drive and were met by a very pleasant land lady. She advised us where to eat etc. The room was very nice, but probably slightly over priced at £90 for B&B. Breakfast was OK and cooked fresh. Cant say too much about the view from the room as you couldn't see across the road... More

We stayed at Glentower Lower Observatory for 2 nights in October 2012. The B&B is less personal than others i have stayed in during the trip to the highlands as it was larger with more rooms and a bit more hotel like. The bedroom itself was a little tired but the bathroom was very impressive and had clearly been recently... More

This will be my first post on Trip Advisor in the negative and I don’t want to offend the owner, more a constructive criticism that I hope is heard in the good faith that I send it. My husband and I did pull in for the night in Fort William on spec, so no pre-arranged accommodation. We were offered a... More
