Detailed Reviews
We stopped off for one night on one of our road trips around the Highlands and ended up staying an extra night as the place was lovely and Fort William is a great town too. Stunning views! Thanks for a lovely stay!

My husband and I stayed two nights here and can honestly say we would go back.As we booked late, we had to change rooms, so stayed in the king size room first night and self-contained cottage second night. Both were very clean and comfortable. Stephanie and Linda were absolutely wonderful hosts- so friendly and welcoming and made you feel very at home. Breakfasts were superb. Thank you ladies for a lovely stay.

If someone asked me what made our stay at Burnlea B&B memorable, I would have 2 very clear things to share! Firstly, "Stephanie & Linda" - friendly as ever, warm, welcoming and extremely helpful, the 2 make for perfect hosts! Stephanie went out of her way to drop us to the town center for dinner, suggested some beautiful scenic routes through Mallaig into Isle of Skye (special thanks for telling us about the White Sand Coral Beaches Detour- Absolutely worth it!!!!) and helped us out with the rest of our itinerary suggesting alternative routes and planing our drive through Scotland. The second thing that stuck - and I might sound like a "greedy foodie" here - was the breakfast! The piping hot, delicious full-cooked Scottish breakfast was the highlight of our stay at Burnlea.
The rooms were comfortable as ever and the house itself overlooks the beautiful Lock Linnhe with majestic mountains in the backdrop, providing for a stunning view from the house!
in the end, we wished we had an extra day at Fort William and at Burnlea B&B that made us feel so much at home!

My father and I stayed here for one night on our way to the Isle of Skye. My father is 85 and partially disabled so l had been very careful to ask about the access to the guest house when I booked.
On arrival I found that there was a very steep drive and a long set of steps up to the front door. So it was very difficult to get Dad out of the car and into the guest house. We should have turned round and left right away for the worst was yet to come.
I asked the land lady about the safety of my car on the steep drive as I was concerned about my cars brakes. She was not pleased and not beenat all welcoming, in fact the she was very rude and burst into our room and shouted at us, saying if we weren't happy we could leave. If it had not been so late we would have left immediately, but where was I going to find another room for my disabled father at that time of day.

Arrived at Burnlea in the sunshine , proprietor on the drive talking to one guest , parking very tight as lines were painted on the drive . Felt it was strange that the proprietor saw us arrive but did not stay outside to welcome us. Mistakenly we went into Burnlea via side door ! ( unclear what entrance to use) my partner was ushered round to the front in a prickly manor . Once in the foyer we were greeted and introduced , led to our room but by then we were a little put off and disgruntled . All changed once entering our room which was lovely , amazing views, comfortable and clean .
Over all our stay was a comfortable one , our hosts were pleasant and helpful the Breakfasts were amazing, shame we had to eat in the foyer which was surrounded by frosted glass the room was quite dark even with the lights switched on.
A dinning room with views over the Loch would have made all the difference . A few minor adjustments would make this a B&B you would return to .

I would definitely recommend Burnlea. Rooms are spacious and spotless with everything you will need at hand. Steph and Linda made us fell ever so welcome and nothing was a problem . We mentioned that we intended to climb Ben Nevis and when we came for breakfast Steph and Linda had even supplied mars bars etc that we could take with us nothing was too much trouble made to feel really welcome. we will definitely be back .

We had to stop only one night, then we've been here for 5nights ..
It has been the base to see much of Scotland: Stephanie was our travel-planning to see places that the tour guides do not indicate. With his avvicendamento we saved the vication from the bad consequences of several flats tires.
Room overlooking the fjord, car parking, clean bathroom, great breakfast!
I will remember forever the Stephanie's porridge and her fantastic hospitality !!

The taxi took us to our b&b Burnlea. It is a large bungalow overlooking a Loch. We were met by one of the 2 ladies who own Burnlea. There names are Stephanie and Linda. We were shown to our room which was spacious with an en suite. She gave us our keys and a jug of milk for a coffee. Stephanie told us she doesn't make the bed and will only change towels if we leave used ones in the bath but as she gave us 4 towels it didn't matter. Our room was overlooking the Loch which was stunning and beautiful! Breakfast was served between 8&9 am. This was fruit juice, fruit, cereal of choice and a nicely presented full English followed by toast and marmalade.
The 2 ladies were very nice and Stephanie went out of her way to help us. She even took us in her car to Fort William for Ann evening meal and on the kat day she took us to the train station. We offered her petrol money but she said no this is part of your Golden wedding celebrations. I think you need a car as it's approx 1 1/2 mikes each way into Fort William but we didn't mind so it didn't matter.
We will definitely go back to Fort William and stay at Burnlea again.

Stayed here for 2 nights, during June 2013, on a tour of Scotland. Ladies were really friendly and nothing too much trouble. Large bedroom with all you could wish for. Breakfast was great, plenty of it and asked what you wanted. They were always willing to help with any queries about the location and recommended places to eat. No reason for delay in reviewing except life takes over and you forget to do it, but always meant to review, so here I am. Great location for Fort William, easy walking distance and good parking. Thanks Linda and Stephanie.
