Large home for our family of 7 people.

Great location, short walk into main street and train station. Easy parking and access. Great lounge area and views. Well equipped kitchen. Beds were a little firm for some. Bunk room would not be suited for older kids. Was perfect for our family group.

The views are unbelievable and it was warm and spacious. A fantastic place for our stay.

This is a spacious and lovely place. Kitchen has all you need and the roof lounge is spectacular. Within walking distance to the train if you're going on the Jacobite train. Shops nearby and all activities at your door step. Good parking and lots of space in rooms. I would recommend this as a place for families or groups on holiday plus a romantic getaway using the ensuite bedroom in the lounge. We have had a fabulous stay.

Poor communication

We never got an email with the code for the key safe. Contacted VRBO and was on hold for ages. I was given the phone number for the owner who we phoned and he contacted us back after some time. He gave us the code and was apologetic but still waiting for up date from yourselves. We got into the property some 2 hours late which wasn't a good start to our break. Communication had been good to this part. Accommodation suited us and great location. Would use again for a group of lads

Klasse Blick

Das Hafenmeisterhaus lag sehr zentral für Fort William und die Umgebung. Wir haben viele tolle Touren von dort aus starten können. Der Balkon war total schön mit einem tollen Blick über die Umgebung. Auch das Haus war sehr schön aufgeteilt und ausreichend ausgestattet. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Schön wäre, wenn das obere Bad eine Duschvorrichtung gehabt hätte.

About the host

Hosted by Nick Ferguson

I first visited Fort William in 1979 kayaking & to do Ben Nevis. Been going ever since, mainly for walking, climbing & mountaineering. I bought the apartment from a mountaineering & business buddy. If I cant live there then I would like as many other people as possible to enjoy what Fort William & its surrounds has to offer.

Why they chose this property

There's only so many times you can visit one place before it becomes logical to have a permanent base at that location.
The apartment has benefited from extensive modernisation work. The latest investments include Solar Thermal panel, LED downlighters and double glazed units to replace the original wooden sash windows.

What makes this property unique

Walking, climbing, mountaineering, biking. Everyday you get different views & conditions. Love relaxing late afternoon, sitting upstairs on the balcony looking out over the Loch. Even better with a glass of wine!
