- Jeffrey (10/5): - Stayed 3 nights, keys would have been in a the lock box but Chris was there anyway and had opened up for us, put mood lights on etc, very nice welcome after a long drive. Property is lovely, very clean, very comfortable, fully fitted with smart tvs, mood lights, underfloor heating. Huge bed in the main bedroom, very comfy, excellent bathroom and kitchen and everything you could need. Stunning location overlooking the loch and very handy for Ben Nevis, Glencoe etc. Didn't get chance to use the beach hut as we forgot to take a torch but we walked down to it and threw stones in the loch and it looked very well set up for fun on a warmer night! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay again nothing

- Clive (10/5): Perfect place with fantastic views - Everything about this house was excellent. The view is stunning. The hosts are fantastic. I hope to return one day. The kitchen knives need a sharpen. Honestly, when this is the fault then the place is amazing.

It is well placed for touring in the Scottish Highlands and the host was very helpful and friendly.
We highly recommend this holiday let. Nothing. Everything was of a high standard.
- Alison (10/5): - Location was amazing overlooking the Loch, beds were so comfortable. After a swim in the Loch the beach hut was great for a cuppa and chill. Everything was thought of, and Chris was such a friendly helpful host
- Joachim (9/5): -
- Maria (10/5): -
- Bettina (10/5): - Der Seeblick, Chris als Gastgeber, Beleuchtungskonzept, einfach alles. Wir haben die Zeit genossen, ein idealer Ausgangspunkt zur Road to the isles, glen Nevis und dem Tal der Tränen! Wunderbar! Nichts, alles bestens! Man sollte nur wissen, dass es sich bei dem Haus quasi um ein großes Zimmer handelt. Die Galerie und das Schlafzimmer sind offen, bzw. durch einen Vorhang abgetrennt.
- Joris (9/5): Prachtig uitzicht - Heel aardige eigenaren. Zeer gastvrij. Erg schoon ook. Huis is van alle gemakken voorzien.
Je mag zelfs van het 'BBQ huisje' aan hun privé strandje gebruiken.
En het huis heeft een fantastisch uitzicht over het meer en de bergen. Het hele huis is ingericht op dat uitzicht. Als het mooi weer is ziet het er mooi uit, maar als het stormt helemaal.
De 'Midgets' vielen enorm mee op deze plek ondanks dat we er begin augustus waren en het dicht bij zee/water is.
Een auto is wel handig. Want het is een te drukke weg om naast te lopen naar Fort William.
Geen last van het geluid van het verkeer trouwens.
Kortom: echt een aanrader! Twee kleine nadeeltjes, maar dat is een beetje vergezocht als je ziet hoe mooi het huis voor de rest is:
- De slaapkamer op de vide is aan de lichte kant qua donkerte. Maar dat is een persoonlijke voorkeur. Het zal de meeste mensen niet storen.
- Er is geen vaatwasser. Ons maakte dat niet uit, want op vakantie hebben we alle tijd.
- Thomasina (9/5): -
- Daniel (10/5): - Wunderbaren Ausblick über das Loch, Stadtcentrum gut mit dem Auto erreichbar. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Ausstattung ist modern und umfangreich. Die Verkehrsanbindung ist hervorragend. 10/10 Es gab Nichts, worüber man sich beschweren könnte. Ganz klare Urlaubsempfehlung.
- Nick (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful location, equipped with everything. Beach hut is a great place to enjoy the scenery. Nothing
- Nuala (10/5): Highland Lochside Perfection! - Amazing location by the Loch with its own beach hut!
A truly super host, Chris, who was so friendly and informative. House had spectacular views and was so clean and comfortable. Great central location for exploring the Highlands.
- Nigel (10/5): Chris and Da were perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble. A perfect holiday in a perfect location. - It was immaculate and had everything you could wish for, including your own private BBQ on the beach
- Ann (10/5): Terrific place to stay with great hosts - Stunning location with constantly changing scenery (it is Fort William after all!)
Very warm and comfortable with everything needed in the accommodation and bonus of beach access and equipment.
- Rajeshwar (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patrick (9/5): Superb - Great host very friendly and knowledgable. Fantastic view over the loch. Might have been nice to have some kitchen roll, cling film and foil.
- Kim (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was fabulous!
- Brendanw11 (10/5): The Moorings - one of a kind. - Prefect location. Excellent facilities, very clean. The upper terrace was a great surprise.
The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and knowledgeable of the area. Nothing
- Shez (10/5): A fabulous house in a wonderful location - Chris and Da made us feel so at home.
They were super helpful with providing recommendations for our stay.
A fabulous house in a wonderful location.
Thank you for having us!
- Connor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ian (9/5): Great stay, great location! - From prior to our arrival, communication was great. On arrival, we were greeted by Chris and made to feel very welcome. The accommodation was first class, and there was nothing additional that we felt we needed. Very comfortable, spectacular views and finished to a high standard.
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leo (10/5): Exceptional -

- Willliams (10/5): highly recommended - chris and his wife were amazing, so accommodating, they went above and beyond to make our stay a fantastic experience.
- Philip (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (10/5): Warm, cosy cottage with a great view- perfect for a romantic get away. - This property is perfectly warm and cosy despite the cold outside. Im a cold person and I was very comfortable the whole time. The view is outstanding, I spent many a day just watching the weather change. The property is cleverly designed with small conveniences like a light switch above the bed, a title walkway from the outside to the inside (so wet feet don’t mess the carpet. The cottage is bigger than it looks in the photos. We loved that it was xmas decorated…. Made it more cosy.
- Shea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elizabeth (9/5): The Moorings is bright and clean and has a lovely lake view. - The property was clean and had good facilities.
The hosts were easy to contact and responsive.
Parking was available at the door.
The view across the lake is lovely.
There was good living space for a family to spread out. I was not a fan of the coloured lighting or the spiral staircase.
The master bedroom doesn't have a proper door.
The dining table was a bit small for 4 people to have dinner.
There were no bathroom toiletries.
The Moorings is situated a little way out of town on the main road and there was some traffic noise.
- Richard (10/5): A luxury stay for a couple or small family. Will stay again but for longer next time - Amazing view of the water and a convenient 5min drive into Fort William town centre. Very comfortable and well stocked. Perfect place to relax after a long day. The host is a lovely guy with extensive knowledge of the area and makes every effort to make you welcome. Nothing. This place is a perfect base for exploring Fort William and Glen Nevis.
- Caroline (10/5): Great house, wonderful views - The house was cosy and warm, with exceptional views. The beds were comfy and hosts were lovely. Would definitely recommend and would return for another stay.
- Adams (10/5): Absolutely perfect - Everything was perfect n was exactly what we wanted and more Nothing
- Fiona (9/5): Excellent stay with the most helpful and friendly hosts. Unbelievable view. - Stunning view and very well equipped. Clean and homely. Very comfortable bed Nothing
- Francis (10/5): The perfect place in Fort William. - Chris and Da ensured I had an exceptional moment while i was in Fort William.
Additionally, the quality and comfort of the accommodation was far superior than anything I have experienced during my road trip across Scotland. I will certainly return with pleasure. All perfect.
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Great host. Location perfect Nothing evening excellent
- Marit (9/5): Beautiful place with a stunning view - The view of Loch Linnhe was amazing. The hosts were hospitable and helpful during our stay. The beach hut on the private beach was very well-equipped and we even roasted marshmellows on the firepit in the evening.
