The Heathers

29th November 2021:

Could not have been more helpful with arranging our off-season stay, advice about the locality and offers to help us get to and from walks in the area. Breakfast was excellent ... and so many things are homemade too - right down to the muesli, the marmalade and the excellent biscuits in the room. There is a lounge available to help with bad weather days and the rooms are a good size with fine views. Location is perhaps a little bit isolated but there was no problem with road noise even though the road is very close by. Excellent all round.

Try the walk down from the Commando Memorial down to the river gorge below - best if there has been dry weather as it can be a bit boggy but the river is quite spectacular and is used by kayakers for white water excursions.

Would Recommend: Yes

A first class establishment with great customer care. I couldn’t rate it highly enough. The breakfasts were superb - I recommend the porridge ,the scones and award winning marmalade. Dining room and lounge have wonderful views. A cut above the usual B &B. Just fantastic!

Great base for hillwalking and Munro bagging.

Would Recommend: Yes

A place which is friendly, quiet, gorgeous views from the window, and a good place from which to explore. Exceptional breakfast menu.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th August 2021:

House is spotlessly clean. Beds are comfortable. Food is excellent and presented in a beautiful dining room with views that includes the visiting red squirrels. Shiela and Ian are very helpful and a wealth of knowledge.

The Old Railway Station restaurant in Spean Bridge is a lovely place for a meal.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th July 2021:

Staying at this bed and breakfast was like staying at a relative’s house. They really made you feel at home. The room was spacious and warm. The view was absolutely gorgeous. You really can’t beat waking up surrounded by mountains and a beautiful loch.

We drove up to Isle of Skye for a day trip. It’s only a 2.5 hour drive from the bed and breakfast and the drive is amazing! We spent another day exploring Fort William which had a surprising amount to offer. There are plenty of nice restaurants, shops, and even a cruise on the loch to see the seals. I would highly recommend this trip!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you ladies for your review. We always welcome guests as friends and do try and ensure they feel at home and can approach us for advice.

1st July 2021:

The Heathers is a 5star Bed and Breakfast. Our hosts were very welcoming and our room provided us with everything we needed after a long journey. Our breakfast was excellent.

There are a number of local restaurants and Fort William is a short drive away. There are walks in the area and a beautiful loch nearby.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks a million for your wonderful review. We are always pleased to see you.

11th September 2020:

Really enjoyed our stay at the Heathers. Ian and Sheila were very warm, welcoming hosts that made us feel right at home throughout our stay. The room was fully equipped with all amenities, including an incredible view of the loch and mountains that surround. The breakfast menu had a good range of options with many of the dishes made using local ingredients - (even the Heather’s own garden grown ingredients!). Every breakfast dish was made with care and we thoroughly enjoyed rolling out of bed to it each morning. We would happily stay again and are already recommending to friends and family. Thank you both!

The Heathers is well placed as a base to visit a number of Scotland’s beautiful landscapes. We visited Glencoe and Skye from the B&B taking approx 1 and 2 hours travel By car respectively. Many local restaurants were all fully booked on the day of calling due to pandemic restrictions on capacity. So book restaurants well in advance of your stay!

Would Recommend: Yes

28th September 2019:

First class B&B accommodation with stunning scenic views over Loch Lochy. You are both friendly and knowledgeable hosts who have a beautiful home. Our room was top class and a great size with a fab view over the Loch. Loved all your personal touches that made our 3 night stay more enjoyable, especially your homemade biscuits Sheila which were delicious. Breakfasts were superb and like the idea of ordering the night before so we didn't have long to wait! Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay with you both and hope to return one day.

Plenty to see and do with some lovely eating places. One we particularly liked was The Old Station House in Spean Bridge. While youre in that area pay a visit to the Royal Commando monument which pays homage to the fantastic job the Commandos did during the Second World War. It's very poignant but well worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2019:

Ian and Sheila run a first class establishment that is tastefully and comfortably furnished and decorated. The Heathers is located in a scenic area with good access to nearby villages and attractions. Good dining options can be accessed without going into larger towns like Fort William. The breakfasts are excellent and Sheila's homemade marmalade jam should be tasted. Ian and Sheila are good company and provide great advice.

High tea at Glengarry Castle Hotel is worth the short detour. Nice dinners at Invergarry Hotel. The gondola on the Ben Nevis ski field is a 'must do' on a fine day. We loved the drive from Fort William south through the Trossachs. Allow plenty of time to stop and take in the views.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th August 2019:

Sheila and Ian made our stay very enjoyable. The house is exceptionally clean with a lovely lounge to relax in should the weather be inclement. A most enjoyable breakfast with a touch of home baking.

We could recommend “Russell’s” for an evening meal. Expensive but good.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd August 2019:

A beautiful place to stay and felt very welcome. Nothing was too much for Sheila and Ian. Breakfast was excellent with an extensive menu available (the scones,haggis,jams and marmalade were great). The homemade biscuits in the room were a lovely surprise especially after a long run. The room had everything we needed and was a very relaxing space. We will definitely stay again in the future and have already recommended to friends and family.

As a last minute and everywhere is busy, the Roy Bridge Hotel has a good menu and plenty of space. There are plenty of miles worth of running/walking/biking at the nearby Nevis Range.

It was a very lovely stay! We enjoyed it very much and had the opportunity to meet another lovely family in the mornings at breakfast time. That was fun. Both of our hosts were really nice and gave us lots of great ideas how to spend our vacation. Breakfast was awesome, too.

So, so, so many nice things to do!

Would Recommend: Yes

5th July 2019:

The Heathers is in an ideal location for exploring a wide variety of natural environments, wild life, attractions and facilities. My wife and I have used The Heathers as a stop over to break a long journey from Lincolnshire to the Western Isles. We have no hesitation in scoring all the criteria above as excellent. There has always been a consistency in the provision of facilities to high standards and an attention to detail. The breakfast menu caters for every taste and benefits from the inclusion of home made items (Sheila's award winning marmalade and delicious scones come to mind!).

There is an excellent selection of leaflet information in the entrance hall. Have a word with Ian and Sheila, their information will be up to date and pronounced properly!

Would Recommend: Yes

29th June 2019:

A lovely B & B with attentive hosts, fabulous breakfasts, and cozy rooms. The Heathers is run with the professionalism of a hotel and the congeniality of a home, and guests could not be in better hands. I would happily return.

By American standards, the distances between attractions are not vast, but the roads are not designed for speed (many of the most scenic are single lane) and the beautiful vistas invite frequent stops. So allow more time than you think you'll need to get from one point to another.

Would Recommend: Yes

Superb B&B providing everything to the highest possible standard. We enjoyed a great sleep in a very comfortable bed. The bathroom had a great shower and lots of hot water. Breakfast was wonderful with delicious homemade scones and marmalade. You will not find better accommodation anywhere.

Good choice of meals within a short drive. We were hill walking and Glen Roy with the parallel roads is a beautiful peaceful Glen. The Clan Cameron and Commando museum at Achnacarry is well worth a visit.

Ideal location for visiting many different spots in the Highlands.

12th September 2017:

Shelia and Ian are wonderful hosts, warm and welcoming, and their home is beautiful. It is spotlessly clean, spacious, and well decorated. The view over the loch is beautiful. Our hot breakfast featured a nice selection of food, including Shelias homemade bread and award winning jams. They go out of their way to be helpful, calling for dinner reservations and giving directions. Wish we could have stayed longer. One thing that could be improved is the location of their sign. It is confusing and makes the house difficult to find in the dark. We took a wrong turn, and ended up in a scary situation. A simple fix-move the sign next to the actual driveway.

The Old Pines restaurant is good.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th September 2017:

As our hosts, you welcomed us into your home. Made us comfortable and enabled us have a good holiday. The accommodation was outstanding well above standard, the food was excellent. The homecooking went the extra mile. Views over the loch superb. Knowledge of local area gave us good ideas for excursions. Looking forward to staying with Ian and Sheila again.

Use hosts local knowledge. Go into the local tourist information centre and pick up leaflets. Ask hosts to book first night food venue.

We had a fantastic time at Thw Heathers & would highly recommend it. It is run to incredibly high standards the views, the room & the breakfast was out if this world. Homemade bread, scones, jams , marmalade & the delicious granola. The cooked options were also delicious. It is a great peaceful location right on the Loch & not far from Fort William. I can honestly say it is the best B&B we have ever stayed at.

Definitely climb Ben Nevis, visit Glen Nevis & Loch Ness.

We stayed for two nights at The Heathers. Very nice place, well equipped rooms. Sheila and Ian are very friendly and ready with tips for visiting and dinner places. Deer spotting, lovely views. A delicious breakfast ! TOP !

Tip 1 : take a walk through the hills at the back of the B&B. We saw a dozen of deer during our evening walk. Tip 2 : try the cured meat for breakfast, it is delicious.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your lovely review. Glad the deer turned up when you went for your walk--there are usually a good few around early morning and late evening.

This is a great place to stay owned by a lovely couple - and has the best breakfasts anywhere.

This is an excellent place to stay if you are heading to Skye - or even if you are doing a part day trip. Its a wee bit out of town so travelling by car is essential. There are also a few great places to eat within easy distances.

29th June 2017:

Breakfasts and hospitality were wonderful. Sheila also made us excellent lunches to take on a long day's travels. The room was immaculate and very comfortable with a beautiful view of the gorgeous garden and the loch. Ian went out of his way to educate us about the local birds and the surrounding area. Wifi was quite patchy, but our hosts had let us know about this in advance, so it was no surprise. Overall, we highly recommend The Heathers!

We ate one night at the Letterfinley Hotel restaurant and found the food good, but the service poor. We were served someone else's food and given a different party's bill. We had a drink at the Corriegour Hotel thanks to the kindness of the owners, who normally serve only residents. It is definitely worth a stop and a request to dine there as the food is reported to be fabulous. We also cycled from Fort Augustus to Letterfinlay along the Caledonian Canal with the excellent help of the very nice folks at Girven's Hardware. We also enjoyed the Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig and the Wildlife cruise with West Coast Tours from Oban to Mull, Lunga, Staffa and Iona.

I was traveling solo, it was Summer, towards the end of the day,(next to no rooms available) and the sign out the front said no vacancy. I just tried my luck, the couple welcomed me, and said they only had a disabled room, however I had to be out early. No dramas, as was so grateful for the room. Would highly recommend. The hosts were lovely, and they knew what part of Australia I was from, and they were just so welcoming. So clean, and so helpful. Thankyou

Wonderful B&B. Shelia & Ian are impeccable hosts who make you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. Beautiful rooms, with nice touches and amazing views of the adjoining loch (Ian would chastise me if I were to say lake, lol). Shelia's food preparation and presentation showed great care and attention to detail. The traditional Scottish breakfast was delicious (we even liked the Haggis). My wife particularly enjoyed the freshly made mueslix. The homemade scones and jams/marmalades were absolutely amazing. Ian took the time to suggest places to eat, sights to see, and offered advice on road travel. While enjoying afternoon cocktails in the cozy living room, we received an informative lesson on single malt scotch whiskey from Ian that served us well as we traversed the Scottish countryside. We look forward to another opportunity to stay at this lovely B&B

Enjoyed the drive up to Inverness and the sights along Loch Ness. Enjoyed our vivst to the Culloden Moor battle field (yes we're Outlander fans)

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd May 2017:

A lovely welcome, with advice on where to eat much appreciated. Home made marmalade at breakfast excellent along with lovely gluten free biscuits, home made again, for evening tea. Would definitely stay again.

Parallel roads in Glen Roy, the walk out to High Bridge from the Commando Memorial, a day out to Ardnamurchan Lighthouse, the falls at the end of the Dark Mile. Eating out Sammy's chippie in Caol, the Old Railway Station, Spean Bridge-- both excellent.

Excellent breakfast, comfortable room, very good stay.

Good-quality restaurants book up quickly, and so reservations are highly recommended, as many restaurants within driving distance of The Heathers serve poor-quality food.

One of our favourite B&Bs - this was our second visit. Ian and Sheila are perfect hosts and Sheila's breakfasts are superb.

Evening meal at the Old Station in Spean Bridge. Good food and nice ambience.

Would Recommend: Yes

What can I say. The heathers excellent,everywhere is spotless, food is fabulous. Our room was comfortable. Nice touches including toiletries in bath room. Home made shortbread. Even an hairdryer in the room. The gardens are beautiful with views out over the loch. Ian and Sheila couldn't have been more helpful. I definitely want to go back and stay there again.

Book your evening meal out, places get so busy. The Alexander hotel in Fort William do excellent meals and on a Wednesday and Friday entertainment provided. Possibly other night's but those are the nights we were there. The heathers is so handy for going out in either direction.

Would Recommend: Yes

The Heathers is an excellent well run B&B. It is well situated for exploring the West Highlands. Food was excellent and plenty of it. Bedroom was very clean, well decorated and most of all comfortable. Bathroom excellent.

It is advisable to ask the hosts Ian and Sheila to recommend and book the local restaurants for you as they get extremely busy at peak times. Plenty of eating places in Fort William, The Alexander Hotel, I would recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

Lots of little extra touches that made our stay special. Own fresh water supply, heated mirror in en suite, plenty of clothes storage, beautiful garden we could explore, lots of home cooked preserves, scones & biscuits. Excellent breakfasts served in a room with a view over the loch. Lots of helpful local knowledge. We felt more like family than paying guests. Would highly recommend a visit to The Heathers.

A remote drive along single track beside loch Arkaig though ancient forests B8005 is worth the drive or walk.

Unable to understand 'Poor' for location as most guests are awe-struck by our situation in the country with the stunning scenery overlooking Loch Lochy. Perhaps not being in a town is the problem!

Very beautiful B&B, with a nice view on the loch Lochy. Excellent breakfast... But the most wonderful, are Sheila and Ian, they are very kind and took care of us. Many advises and suggestions, thank you very much !

Restaurants: The Russell's and the Old Pines in Spean Bridge are very good. The place is great, close to Loch Ness, Isle of Skye, Fort William... Many walks and hikes to do ;)

Our hoszs were teally friendly and commmunicative. They also have a menu where you can chose your breakfast!! They are doing their business very professional. We really felt comfortable there.

It is not located centrally in a town but next to Loch Long. So you need a car foe getting to any city etc.

Excellent accommodation and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. Sheila is an amazing cook! Stunning location too, would highly recommend this fabulous B&B.

The Jacobite train journey from Fort William to Mallaig has spectacular scenery and we'd recommend the fish & chips at Mallaig station, the haddock is scrummy!

Fantastic place, lovely voiews and well appointed house. We were actually moved to the 2 bedroom cottage due to a booking hiccup, and this was also a lovely place. Would recommend for a week's stay. We spent 2 nights and Ian and Sheila were most welcoming. Ian provided information on restaurants, and places to visit, and Sheila's cooking is exceptional. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

Recommend the LetterFinlay hotel for high quality seafood and loch view.

Wonderful reception, met with tea and cake and extremely helpful hosts. The room was beautiful and spotless with a lovely view. Breakfast choices were numerous and well cooked. We liked the location, we just prefer on a personal basis, to be in walking distance of an evening meal. But it isn't far to quite a few good restaurants

We ate at the Old Station in SpeanBridge - it was lovely, and large portions.

An excellent b&b that comes up to the standard of a first class hotel. My granddaughter and I stayed one night and found the beds to be very comfortable and the breakfast had a good and variable choice with homemade granola, bread, scones, oatcakes, jam and marmalades. You could not ask for anything better. Sheila and Ian made us very welcome even though we were three hours later than stated on our booking form. Thank you to you both and next time I will bring my husband.

The Jacobite Steam Train ride from Fort William to Mallaig is worth a try as is the Crannoch seafood restaurant.

Would Recommend: Yes

Glad you enjoyed your brief stay and we look forward to meeting your husband next time.

This B&B had a "homely feel" throughout the facilities. There was attention to detail without fuss both in the service and the provision in the various elements. Every effort was made to make us feel comfortable but it seemed to be no effort at all.

Russell's Restaurant - expensive but good value.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd August 2015:

As we arrived around 3pm in the afternoon for check-in, the welcoming wasn't very warm (from the hostress) as the hosts were still preparing the rooms. But apart from this little thing the stay was perfect, nice house & amazing garden with a cool view on the Loch. Deserve the name of luxury B&B, very clean and cosy. The breakfast was just excellent, and we appreciated the little attentions left in our room, the homemade shortbread was awesome !

Visiting Spean Bridge and waterfalls around
