Victoria House Bed and Breakfast

Fort William

Offering a garden and garden view, Victoria House Bed and Breakfast is situated in Fort William, 20 km from Loch Linnhe and 24 km from Glenfinnan Station Museum. The property features mountain and river views, and is 2.6 km from Glen Nevis. The homestay has parking on-site, a hot tub and luggage storage space. The hosts were amazingly friendly, we felt like we were at home in their house. The bedroom we stayed in was very large and well appointed, and the breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect for us, just on the outskirts of Fort William, but easy to get into the town. One of my goals was to get a photo of the Jacobite train crossing the Glenfinnan viaduct, see attached photo.

Atholl Villa Guest House 4 stars

Pitlochry

Situated in the town of Pitlochry, Atholl Villa Guest House is a privately owned Victorian building, offering views of Ben Vrackie. It has free parking and retains many original features, such as open fireplaces and wooden sash windows. What an absolutely SUPERB accomodation! This was our third visit to Pitlochry and as far as we're concerned, Atholl Villa tops anywhere we stayed previously. Excellent, attentive and helpful staff. Outstanding breakfasts, with host asking us to make our choice(s) the night prior. Lovely dining room downstairs. We were surprised how quiet it was, even though the accomodation is right on the "main drag" through town. A very well maintained, beautifully kept property. Easyyy walking distance to downtown area. We had tickets to see the Enchanted Forest one night and the walk to the bus pick up point was 10 minutes away. Blair Athol distillery 10-15 minute walk in the opposite direction. Laundry services nearby to catch up on travel washing. Our upstairs room was clean, well-appointed and nice view. For the most part, we felt good value for the money spent.

The Waterfront 4 stars

Anstruther

Just a few steps from Anstruther’s harbour and marina, with views over the Firth of Forth, The Waterfront offers 4-star bed and breakfast accommodation with free Wi-Fi. Its à la carte restaurant has a charming modern glass and timber frontage. I loved the courtyard to have a nice glad of wine after a day of travel. The breakfast was top notch (eggs Benedict on a croissant with smoked salmon) . my group loved walking the Fife path to the flag hill park and finding sea glass and pottery shards on the beach at low tide
