Really charming place. The rooms were even nicer in person and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was delicious. All the people working there were very nice.

Natalie United States of America

The room was a good size the bathroom was great with a very powerful shower as well. Breakfast just what you want and if you get a chance for dinner do so

John United Kingdom

Good size bedroom and bathroom; comfortable bed; very good breakfast with hot cooked-to-order options. Some free parking on-site.

John United States of America

This is an ideal place to stay. You can't beat the location, right across the street from the main pub/ shopping street in Fort William (and it has ample parking). The building is gorgeous, the rooms luxe and comfortable. The staff are genuine, friendly & professional, and they were very accommodating of our dog (even giving him pets and treats!). In the evening, there was a roaring fire in the lounge. The breakfast was top notch. They really got every detail right. My husband and I do a lot of hillwalking in the Highlands, so we've stayed in places all over, and this one really knocked it out of the park. We will definitely be back.

Lef06 United Kingdom

Excellent views, and sofa in room was great for relaxing with a view when its rainy outside. Great breakfast. Lounges were great for a drink by the fire.

Paul United Kingdom

We stayed at Lime Tree after finishing the West Highland Way hike. The dinner we had at the restaurant was one of the best meals I've ever had and we are no strangers to nice restaurants. I had the lamb and the Paris Brest for dessert. Wish I could go back!

Janet United States of America

The hotel is very attractive with lots of charm and the food was very good. We had a lovely spacious room with a proper sized four poster bed facing the Loch. They also have a nice garden area for drinks etc overlooking the Loch

Michael Jersey
