Ashburn House De Luxe Bed and Breakfast

5th September 2024:

The rain on arrival made the walk from the train station seem longer than expected but when dry, was a pleasant 20-minute stroll along the lough side. The property was exquisitely decorated and furnished throughout, and the level of detail reflected the care and attention of live-in hosts. A fridge/cooler facility was a nice and welcome consideration. The breakfast choice was varied and fulsome and the single room was bigger than most experienced by this reviewer and even more unusual was the fact that it has the best view from the property. Thanks, and best wishes to Haley and Trev for continued success.

Large bedroom with a stunishing view on the Loch and a small en-suite bathroom, but large enough. Very modern and suitably furnished. A delicious breakfast buffet with homemade jam. The hostess Hayley is super friendly and very helpful. Very good communication. 100% recommendation.

In the town of Fort William there are a lot of places. We liked the pizza and beer in the Black Isle Bar. And enjoyed a Whisky and Gin in the Ben Nevis Bar.

The owners are lovely friendly people who make you feel really welcome. The property is finished to a really high standard, borne out by their 5 star rating. I stayed in their compact single room, which was a cosy wee haven for my stay. Breakfast was nice too, and hosted in a room with a view of beautiful Loch Linnhe and the mountains beyond. I've stayed at Ashburn House before, and if I stay in Fort William again they're sure to be at the top of my list. Recommended.

Fort William is in some location, a stunning part of Scotland. Only a few minutes walk from Ashburn House the town centre has lots of options for dining and has great transport links via road and rail, including the iconic Hogwarts Express line seen in the Harry Potter films, and if lochs and mountains are your thing, wow!

Hayley gives you a wide ‘tourist guide’ with things to do and see and places to eat. We visited the silly goose at the lime tree, fab food and polite staff. Tandoori spice, tasty dishes. We visited Glencoe area and the beaches near Mallaig all beautiful.

My family and I have traveled extensively in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe. Ashburn House De Luxe Bed and Breakfast in Fort William was one of the best stays we ever had.

This B&B is easy walking distance to a variety of restaurants in downtown Fort William.

27th September 2023:

Hayley and Trev, this was the best bed and breakfast experience we have ever had, starting with your warm welcome and the daily friendly encounters we had with you. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable beds. The view of Loch Linnhe was outstanding. The continental breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Your location to the town centre is a very easy walk.

The town centre is for pedestrians only, no car traffic. The town centre has a number of very good eating places, we liked The Tavern, friendly manager and staff. There are two types of boat tours on Lock Linnhe and the Mountain Gondola ride to the top of the Ben Nevis range is worth the trip. You can take walking trails at the top of the mountain range.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2023:

With in walking distance of town. Safe parking at Ashburn House. Continental breakfast plentiful especially overnight oats with lots of fresh berries. Hayley very friendly and helpful with advice on local area.

Lots of different places to eat of varying choices and prices. Supermarkets within walking distance and train and bus stations nearby. Impending road works didn’t affect our stay at all but we appreciated being informed of them by Hayley.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th September 2023:

Hayley and Trev are a pleasant and welcoming couple with young children who altogether make the Ashburn feel like a real home. Lovely breakfast. Excellent location on the Loch.

I would highly recommend staying at Ashburn House. Hayley and Trev (our hosts) made the trip so memorable by adding a very special touch of birthday cake and card for my husband's birthday. The rooms and bed was super comfortable. Location was perfect. Views over the Loch stunning. Absolutely nothing negative about this place. Really loved it. We stayed for 4 nights, will be returning.

The boat trip to Seal Island was great, saw dolphins and seals. Interesting commentary, comfortable boat. Jacobite steam train with afternoon tea was a real treat, you can also take the regular train from Fort William to Mallaig. Trip to the Ben Nevis mountain range and gondola trip was worth a visit too. The local cinema and cafe is worth a visit. Enjoyed the food in the Tavern and Cafe Mango. Didn't get to eat in the Geograph as queue was too long. Overall a great place. We didn't take the car, so one thing to note there is no public transport on a Sunday, but we managed to swop things around without any issues, although Hayley had offered to take us if we were stuck! Fantastic.

Wat een geweldig verblijf. Ik was jarig tijdens ons verblijf bij Hayley. Bij aankomst had Hayley allemaal lekkere gebakjes gehaald voor mijn verjaardag. Ook stond er een hele grote ballon met een kaartje. De communicatie met Hayley was fantastisch. Je kunt haar alles vragen en op de mail reageert ze meteen. Haar guesthouse is een van de mooiste waar ik ben geweest. Prachtige kamers met uitzicht op het meer. Ook het ontbijt was fantastisch. Ik zou iedereen aanraden om hier te boeken.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2023:

We were so happy with our choice of accommodation in Fort William. Absolutely faultless and would definitely stay here again. Lovely modern room with lots of nice touches and amenities.

Restaurants were generally very busy and we found that Wetherspoons was actually a good option! It was also at the nearest end of the high street to the B&B so quite handy if the weather is inclement. Steall waterfalls is lovely place but make sure you check the bus times as they seem to be ‘vague’ and phone reception at the falls to get a taxi is very patchy. Luckily we managed to get a lift back to FW with a kind local. Ben Nevis is an amazing feat and is a must - but don’t underestimate how challenging it is on the body.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th July 2023:

Room provisions were the best I have ever encountered .... and I stay in B&Bs regularly. Very friendly staff, couldn't do enough for you. Perfect for families and singletons alike, would definitely stay again.

Stayed at Ashburn House for 2 nights but would have loved to stay for much longer. The house is beautifully renovated and really cosy. The lake view from the rooms in the front part of the house is fantastic, the room spacious, very clean and with a character. Plus complimentary water, shortbread bicuits and delicious homemade fudge. We had a very warm welcome by Hayley! Though without cooked options the breakfast was more than plentiful (loved the fresh fruit!) with excellent choice of coffee. If we are ever in Fort William again, we know where we are going to stay!

Hayley is a lovely host. Made us feel welcome, waited for our arrival, explain house rules and facilities. Asked us if we wanted warm croissants for breakfast the next morning- nice! Communication via email before our arrival was great and we would love to stay again. Room 1 was modern, clean and has a comfortable bed. The shower was great.

There are a few parking spaces behind the B and B which felt safe and secure. There are many restaurants in the town however book in advance. There is also Morrison etc for petrol and stocking up on food for onward travel.

This was our first visit to Scotland after a recommendation from a work friend we took her advice and started our journey in West Kilbride then onto Fort William where we spent three beautiful nights at Ashburn house we could not have ask for a better B/B. The location is absolutely stunning the view from our bedroom was truly incredible we had the perfect view of the Loch , the room was lovely you could see that a lot of love when into the design of the room , but want made our stay extra special was the host Hayley she was so friendly and helpful lots of tips on where to visit etc ,the breakfast is continental but it was fresh and always enough choices to satisfied us, we definitely save the best to last. Thank you Hayley & Trevor

Warm and friendly welcome. Plenty of parking. Beautiful gardens (even in the rain). Stunning location overlooking Loch Linnhe and the Yacht Club and only a five-minute walk into town. Very clean accommodation with lovely decor - a mix of traditional Scottish with a modern and stylish twist. Lovely room with extra facilitates (access to a fridge and hairdryer). Welcome gift of homemade 'tablet'. Well equipped ensuite shower room with a powerful shower and the bed was extremely comfortable. Continental breakfast was varied and plentiful. Highly recommend the homemade jams! The only negative thing which was through no fault of the hosts was the temporary unavailability of the Wi-Fi which the hosts worked very hard to rectify. Would give this 9.9 out of 10 if possible.

Afternoon tea at the former West End hotel (sorry I can't remember the new name but it's on the corner at the bottom of Lundavra Road). The Highland Soap Company near Old Inverlochy Castle is worth a visit. Lovely showroom and cafe. Plus the amenities of Fort William and access to the stunning scenery and activities provided by the landscape and terrain.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th October 2022:

We had a lovely stay at Ashburn House for four nights to kick off our Scotland adventure. Ashburn House was our base as we made day trips throughout the region to see some interesting sights. The continental breakfast every morning was a treat with baked goods, some prepared by our hostess Hayley, and plenty of coffee to wake me up for the day. The bed was very comfortable. En suite facilities are modern. The view out the window from our room was delightful. We were very happy with our experience at Ashburn House.

A lovely location with stunning loch views. Within easy strolling distance to the town. Unfortunately at the current time, a full cooked breakfast is not offered, but Haley’s version of a continental breakfast was great!

Don’t miss the West Highland Museum! It is a gem. Consider taking the train past the Glen Finnan viaduct to the coast. You can do the Jacobite Train, the Harry Potter Train or just the regular service train. All use the same route.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th September 2022:

A very enjoyable stay. A little bit of noise from the road, but the view was worth it! I had mentioned the trip was for my Husband's birthday, and Hayley made some lovely cakes for him. Such a personal touch, along with a card and balloon. I had also made a bedding request which was kindly met. Lovely people, beautiful setting and great facilities.

We only had a short time in Fort William as we had booked the railway trip, but the local museum in the town is well worth a visit. Most of the shops and eateries were closed for the Queen's funeral when we arrived so not many opportunities to sample food etc.

Beautiful house, location is I think the best in fort william I had a the single room @ the front of this lovely house with a wonderful view of the Loch, the room itself is compact & bijou, well decorated with a excellent shower 🚿 & spotlessly clean! The breakfast is superb with a very wide choice 👌. To sum up I'm going to say this is the best b&b in fort william .

Try to get a room @ the front of property, the view is superb.

Hayley is a lovely lady and a perfect host, always making sure you're ok and have everything you need. We got married during our stay at Ashburn and she went above and beyond making our special day more special by having balloons, bubby and gifts in our room on our return from the ceremony. Couldn't have asked for better service. It was a pleasure staying at Ashburn

Glenfinnan Monument and Viaduct, and the Jacobite Steam Train are a must. A visit to Spice Tandoori in Fort William is also highly recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

Clean, warm and comfortable B&B with very good breakfast. Excellent shower.

I would recommend 'The Tavern' on the high street for dinner. Very good food with ample portions and reasonable price.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th May 2022:

The host Hayley was very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious and very comfortable as was the bed and we both slept very well. Breakfast was plentiful with a huge variety to chose from. It was the little touches in the room that made so lovely. Homemade fudge, plenty of tea and coffee available and body products from a local company, which you can buy either from the B&B or the shop in town. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit Fort William.

Great location. 20 min walk from train station. 10 min walk from town. On the main bus route.plenty of places to eat and the food is good. Fort William is a walkers/climbers paradise but if you are looking for something a bit more gentle that a boat trip on the Loch or a train ride to Mallaig are all worth it

Would Recommend: Yes

6th May 2022:

Great guest house with lovely little touches like tablet/biscuits for your coffee and a corkscrew. High quality toiletries including shampoo and conditioner which I had forgotten. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Beautiful views of the loch.

A short walk to the centre. Cinema cafe is great for coffee, cocktails and food.

Hayley was an absolute delight! Thanks for making our stay such a wonderful experience.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd April 2022:

This B&B was an absolute highlight of our two week trip around Scotland. We had a stunning room in Asburn House, which had a bay window and stunning views over the Loch. The room was huge and extremely comfortable, which was welcome after lots of walking! The facilities were spotless and had everything we could ever need. Our hosts were extremely welcoming and made every effort to make sure we were comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and there were many choices - ideal if you're planning any big walks the next day! It felt like we were welcomed into the family home but also were granted privacy and our own (very large) space. We couldn't speak highly enough of this fantastic B&B. It also had dedicated parking and was easy to find!

Our favourite restaurant in the Fort William area is the Ben Nevis Inn - we've eaten there 3 times over 7 years and each time it had been friendly, welcoming, warm and cosy - and the food is delicious.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th April 2022:

Beautiful, well maintained house. Rooms are clean, have everything you need. The view from the window is breathtaking. The hosts are lovely, very attentive, breakfast was excellent. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Fort William is a perfect location to explore Highlands. Ashburn house is very conveniently placed, not far from Ben Nevis and town center with pubs and cafes just at the walking distance.

Would Recommend: Yes

We were made very welcome- thanks to Hayley - wonderful location, room and service. Communication before and during our stay was great and very helpful.

We came predominantly to travel on the west Highland steam train which was a stunning experience that we would highly recommend. The emailed handbook sent to us prior to our arrival was helpful regarding places to eat and things to do

Would Recommend: Yes

21st November 2021:

Without doubt the best B & B we have stayed in. The owners couldn’t do enough for you. The advice of places to visits actually helped me change some of the places I was intending to go to. The breakfasts were incredible with a view from the dining room to match. What a great place to stay to explore the Highlands. We stayed 2 nights , wish it was more. We will be back next year that’s for sure , my only worry, it’s that good , they will get booked up pretty quickly.

Garrison West . Fab restaurant in Fort William. Glenfinnan Viaduct about 30 mins drive . ( worth the drive to Mallaig from the viaduct. Views were stunning. Loch Ness about 1 1/4 hours. Glencoe about 45 mins drive. Worth a visit to Isle of Mull. Get the Corran Ferry about 5 miles south of Ashburn House . On the other side drive through stunning scenery to Lochaline to get another ferry (18 mins on ferry). On Mull drive 8 miles to Tobermory. Saw Golden Eagles , Seals , Otters and by all accounts which we didn’t see there were two Minkhe Whales in the Sound of Mull.

Would Recommend: Yes

Made us feel like part of the family from entering on our first day. Extremely welcoming on our arrival, and throughout our stay were always available and very helpful.

9th September 2021:

Excellent accommodation. Our room had everything you needed. Wardrobe space, drawer space and case stand. Large tray for footwear which is ideal. Nice to be able to make a cup of tea or coffee in your room. Loved the tablet. Large very comfortable bed which is a real bonus. Exceptional cleanliness throughout. Amazing breakfasts with plenty of choice. Due to COVID restrictions everything needs to be ordered and is served at your table. (Blueberry and strawberry waffle was delicious.) On site parking which is another bonus. Highly recommend a stay here.

About a ten minute walk to the town centre. (Depending on how quickly you walk.) Lots of restaurants which were all very busy when we were there so probably best to book in advance. The Stables was excellent for food although service was slow. The Geographer is also good however they don’t take bookings so it’s a case of waiting outside until they have a table free. The Jacobite steam train was an enjoyable trip. The Ben Nevis mountain gondolas was worth the wait to get on. Fantastic views.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th September 2021:

Really enjoyed my stay and felt very welcome. The only teeny comment is that the air freshener was really strong - but I just opened the window :) really grateful to Hayley for making a breakfast to go for me even after I’d said I would sit in for breakfast. Definitely will be back

Such a warm welcome by the host and a lovely newly refurbished room. The whole place was immaculately clean and smelt lovely.

Food - Restaurants get very busy at peak times so remember to book, although we found that many places don’t allow you to book and you have to wait in a queue. One place turned us away at 8pm saying they were unlikely to get to serve us. Car rental - Do this is advance. We tried to book a car for a day or two but there was nothing available for a two weeks.

Would Recommend: Yes

Just back from a 3 night stay and I highly recommend Ashburn House if you are thinking of staying in Fort William. Hayley and Trev were the perfect hosts and Lucy who served us breakfast is a credit to the guesthouse.

Fort William is beautiful but eating out is problematic. Booking is a must. It seems that the numbers of visitors far exceed the number of places on offer. Ben Nevis is a paradise for hikers. The Jacobite steam train is a memorable mini adventure.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was just perfect, the room, the location and the view of the Loch from our room no1. It was our wedding anniversary and Hayley put some special treats in our room. Breakfast was delicious served on warm plates. Croissant was fresh with nice choice of fresh jams. If we are ever up this way, would not even consider staying anywhere else.

We came up especially to go on The Jacobite train which didn’t disappoint. We had the cream tea in First class carriage and couldn’t finish it as there were so many cakes in it. We also did the 10am cruise around the Loch with lovely view of Ben Nevis. Great views from the Nevis gondola.

Our room was lovely..we paid a premium for room 5 so I would have beena little disappointed if it had been anything less. It was clear to me that a lot of thought had gone Into every detail. And it shows. So many things to mention…lovely bed linen and towels, lovely bathroom, lovely local soap products, fudge in the room (yum!), spotlessly clean windows enhancing the views, the mirror fronted wardrobe enhanced the spectacular view, fridges for guest use-such a thoughtful addition, lovely seating area in the evening sun at the front overlooking the water. Pretty garden planting. Breakfast maintained the high standard, the quality of the food was noticeable, lovely croissant, bacon and sausage. (These items can often be cheap and poor quality). Really lovely experience, good luck with your venture Hayley!

The hosts were very friendly and happy to help with advice on local pubs and restaurants. The Covid precautions were thorough, we didn’t feel at all compromised.

We enjoyed a walk to Steall Falls, a well defined path with great views. We had wonderful trip on the Jacobite express, booking in advance is a must. We had some great food while we were in Fort William, those of note are The Stables for dinner, which is restaurant standard food. The Wildcat Cafe for lunch and our daily shot of coffee, we became Oatly Barista converts. The Grog and Gruel for great fish and chips.

We were made to feel very welcome on arrival, felt as if we arrived as strangers and left as friends. A real home from home and will hopefully return again this season.

We went on the steam train excursion to Mallaig, it was delightful and the scenery was amazing, you don`t get to appreciate it travelling by road. Crannog restaurant and boat trip also highly recommended. For home cooked meals and attentive staff in quaint surroundings the "Crofter" is the place to eat. It looks dismal from the outside, but so glad we ventured in.
