“Nevis Bank Inn strikes me as a solid choice in Fort William, especially if you're planning outdoor adventures; its proximity to Ben Nevis and the Great Glen Way is a real asset. While the exterior might not win any design awards, Browns Restaurant certainly does, and I appreciate a hotel that takes its dining seriously. I think it's a reliable base for exploring the Highlands, with the added bonus of packed lunches for early starts.”
