Guest Reviews

- Anneliese (10/5): Großartiges Guesthouse - Sehr schöne Unterkunft, sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr freundliche Hausdame
- Audrey (8/5): -
- Jo (5/5): Comfortable but expensive - Location and comfortable, clean room Breakfast was limited and we had to order the night before. We thought this place was expensive for what it was although everywhere in Fort William seems to be expensive!
- Sabine (10/5): Exceptional B&B experience - The house and our room were absolutely spotless and you could feel that the owners put a lot of effort and love into making their guests feel welcome. We felt right at home from the very start. The breakfast was also amazing! There is nothing we did not like.
- Elise (10/5): -
- keith (9/5): Wonderful - Nice host and clean rooms.
- Pamela (8/5): Perfektes Bed&Breakfast - Wunderschöne Lage, sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, gutes Frühstück und schönes Zimmer. Alles perfekt! NA
- Sophie (9/5): Très joli B&B avec un accueil très chaleureux. - La gentillesse de l’hôte. La maison si « cosy ». La propreté. Le confort. Le petit-déjeuner. À 10 minutes à pied du centre. La grande route qui est juste devant la maison, devant le jardin. Mais la chambre donnait à l’arrière.
- Noorani (9/5): It was a wonderful stay, great breakfasts, beautiful home and with a great view. - I thought it was going to be a smelly old victorian but was pleasantly surprised. I was bright and wel lit, great views of the loch. very nice decor and comortable beds.
Our host Lorna was delightful and full of scottish charm. The walk to the main town was a little further than I was looking for but this was no surpise.
- Jeanne (9/5): A lovely place to stop in amd stay. - What a lovely home! Walkable to the high street and easy to get to via car and right on the Loch. Hosts were lovely and the breakfast was delicious. The floors are a bit uneven (as is expected w/an older home) so you have to watch your step a bit.

- Frauke (10/5): - Die Optik des gesamten Hauses & die Wertigkeit der Einrichtung.
Das sehr leckere Frühstück.
- Jillian (10/5): 4 days at Buccleuch - I loved my stay at Buccleuch guest house. It's beautifully situated with views of Loch Linnhe , and is only a short walk into the Fort William shopping precinct.
My room was one of the smaller ones, but absolutely fine for a solo traveller...would suit a couple without too much luggage as well.
Lorna is a fabulous hostess; she was welcoming and friendly from the moment I arrived, and had many helpful suggestions regarding local shops, and activities in Fort William...and breakfast was always a delight.
I'd highly recommend Buccleuch; I'd love to go back one day. Leaving when my stay was over.
- Petra (10/5): Liebevoll geführtes Guesthouse mit persönlichem Ambiente -
- Tina (10/5): A very lovely stay - Lovely charming guest house, lovely rooms which are exceptionally clean, breakfast was very good and the location is a 10 minute walk from the town. The host is lovely , very attentive and friendly . Thank you for a lovely stay Nothing
- Kaye (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay, the hosts were so lovely and helpful. The breakfasts were amazing. The room was beautiful with a magnificent view. Would definitely stay here again 😊
- Heidrun (10/5): -
- Kotter (10/5): - Sehr nette Vermieterin. Toll war das Bestellervice des Frühstücks am Abend vorher. Zusätzlich gab es ein Liebevoll hergerichtetes Buffet - sogar mit frischem Obst.
- Claus-Peter (8/5): Gut gelegenes Guesthouse mit Luft nach oben - Das Guesthouse liegt günstig und fußläufig zum Zentrum von Fort William. Es gibt Parkplätze für die Gäste und das Frühstück ist gut, Auswahl in Ordnung. Die Gastgeberin ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoß, dass direkt am Flur lag, daher bekam man das Kommen und Gehen der anderen Gäste mit. Grundsätzlich war das Zimmer in Ordnung, aber wir hätten uns für den gehobenen Preis mehr Komfort gewünscht. Das Zimmer war eher einfach, im Vergleich zu anderen B&Bs auf unserer Rundreise. Insgesamt fanden wir das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis nicht angemessen. Wir empfanden das Guesthouse eher als durchschnittlich, was auch für das Frühstück gilt.

- Eran (10/5): -
- carlos (10/5): Excelente atención de Loren Desayuno muy bueno El pueblo y sus alrededores muy bonitos - Todo Nada
- Cléa (9/5): - The host is absolutely charming. The breakfast room overlooks a magnificent view of Loch Linnhe, a real pleasure to wake up to!
The guesthouse is located close to walking routes that allow you to discover the rocky landscape of the Highlands, so we can wholeheartedly recommend this guesthouse for nature lovers :)
- Jay (10/5): Great stay at an excellent inn - We loved everything! The location, cleanliness, size of room, quality at food, all were fantastic! The owner/host (Lorna) was incredibly accommodating! Highly recommend! Nothing

- Leslie (10/5): Lovely stay - Position perfect, view amazing, room lovely, breakfast terrific, host very warm & inviting.
I would recommend Buccleuch guest house to anyone.
- Wendy (10/5): - Easy parking, easy walking access to Fort William, lovely owners and great breakfast with lots options No complaints
- Sidal (10/5): - We had an amazing stay at the guest house! By far the most beautiful guest house I stayed at in Scotland so far. The location is stunning, right by the water. Breakfast is included and you can even select what breakfast you want. The owner is so kind, we could really see how much she cared about her guests. Also there are not many rooms in the guest house which made the stay very private. 10/10 would recommend :)
- carole (10/5): -
- Susanne (10/5): Lorna ist ein Schatz, Service mit Wohlfühlen garantiert - Das Zimmer war sehr schön und heimelig, das Bad ausreichend groß und sehr sauber , Zimmer individuell eingerichtet, das Frühstück ist sensationell und beste Qualität, die Hoteleigentünerin Lorna ist ein Schatz und überaus gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie macht alles möglich, wir fühlten uns wie bei guten Freunden! Da alle Taxis ausgebucht waren, hat uns kurzerhand ihr Mann zum Bahnhof in Fort William gefahren. das Hotel passt so gut zu Schottland 😍 Alles super, im Bad ist nur gewöhnungsbedürftig, dass am Waschbecken heiß und kalt getrennte Hähne sind .
- kendra (9/5): Darling, clean, charming BnB! - Great location - easy to walk into town. Darling BnB. Lorna, our host, was such a welcoming and sweet person. She made us feel right at home immediately. Really didn’t have any complaint. Maybe, if I’m trying to find something, next time the rooms get redone, opt for a shower instead of tub? But great place. We loved it.
- Michael (10/5): Fantastisch - Ausstattung des Zimmers, Blick aufs Loch, Fantastisches Frühstück mit Hintergrundmusik, Überaus einfühlsam und zuvorkommend.
- Linda (10/5): Enjoyable, pleasant stay with a friendly hostess. - Character and view of property There wasn’t anything we didn’t like about it.
- Eve (10/5): Wonderful comfortable stay - Beautiful guest house close to the centre of Fort William with a lovely view over the loch in front. Spacious, clean and comfortable room with great breakfast options. Lorna was also lovely and wanted to ensure we had a nice stay. Would definitely come back in future.
