Nevis View

14th September 2024:

Nice home and a good breakfast.

Good price/quality rate. There is not a lot of restaurant to eat around the house.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View', which is largely very positive. I regret that there are no eating places in the village of Corpach, but that is something that is entirely outwith my control. However, Fort William is only 4.5 miles away and there you will find plenty of choice.

2nd September 2024:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the Review of your latest stay with us at ‘Nevis View’. It was great to see you again whilst you continued with your conquest of the local Munros, Grahams, Corbetts, Marilyns etc.

23rd August 2024:

I had a wonderful stay at Nevis View. The room was clean and comfortably furnished. I was able to choose the time I wanted to have breakfast, which included everything you need. The host was very nice and gave me a lot of information and helpful tips.

I would definitely recommend Nevis View to anyone wanting to visit Fort William and the surrounding areas. The accomodation is only about 5 minutes from the train station and you can pick up something to eat at the Co-op along the way. With ScoTrail the journey to Fort William only takes about 11 minutes from Corpach. However, since trains only leave Corpach a few times a day, you'll definitely need to do some research. There are also buses that go to Fort William, but I have no experience with this. In Fort William I can recommend the West Highland Museum, which is a really interesting alternative if it ist raining (like in my case). In Corpach there is the Corpach shipwreck just a few minutes from the train station, which is definitely worth a look.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed having you here and only regret that you experienced so much rain in those two days! At least The West Highland Museum gave you refuge for some of the time! There is a good bus service between Fort William and Corpach, which runs more frequently than the trains which you used! The Bus Stop is literally a 5 minute walk from the house and the buses are easy to use. It would seem that the Corpach Shipwreck's fame is spreading far and wide!

19th August 2024:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you had a positive experience.

18th August 2024:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you had such a positive experience.

17th August 2024:

Very kind and helpful, great (vegan) breakfast! Room somewhat small for three persons, but ok.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. The room is compact and is described as such, but we're glad you enjoyed your stay nonetheless and that the Vegan Breakfasts were very much to your liking!

13th August 2024:

Warm welcome. Great hospitallity, Good room, good bed,good breakfast.

Ideal place to stay if you are passing through.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the lovely Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're so glad you enjoyed your two stays one at the beginning and the other at the end of your family holiday and that you had such a positive experience with us. I hope the rest of your trip, before heading home to The Netherlands, was incident free, unlike your most recent journey to Fort William!

5th August 2024:

We loved the tea set-up in the bedroom and felt spoiled by your hearty breakfast. We also enjoyed having a little chat about your travels and life experiences. All in all it was wonderful to stay with you, Barbara.

The Lochy has a varied menu and serves generous portions. Rather than hoisting yourself up Ben Nevis, which is not a fun walk, consider Cow Hill circuit. It is supposed to be a beautiful trail. From Nevis view, we enjoyed an evening stroll to Great Glen Way. It takes you past back yards, crosses a wee railroad track and gives a stunning view of Loch Eil en Ben Nevis.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the Review of your recent stay at ‘Nevis View’. We really enjoyed having you stay and also our lengthy conversations whilst you were being served your Breakfasts! I’m glad you enjoyed the food and our chats as much as you did! I love your description of walking us Ben Nevis as a ‘hoist’! Certainly, the Cow Hill Circuit is less demanding than going up the Ben, but it still gives you good views of the surrounding countryside even though the height achieved is lower than the summit of the Ben!

2nd August 2024:

This is a very small B&B but Barbara is a lovely and caring host. Everything is clean and well appointed. Breakfast was an unexpected delight.

Fort Wiliam is just over 5 minutes away...summer travelers beware reserve a table for dinner or risk missing out on dinner. We were fortunate that The Geographer found us a spot.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your stay here and especially that your Breakfast was an 'unexpected delight'! The compliment paid has left your 'Chef' feeling very, very happy! Your tip about visitors needing to think ahead and reserve a table in the Restaurant of their choice when eating out in Fort William , is very apt unfortunately. It was a pleasure to have you stay and we hope to see you again when you return to Fort William sometime in the future.

31st July 2024:

Small bedroom but very nice and confortable. Very clean, very frienfly. We were very well received.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your three days here and too, everything that the area has to offer its visitors - especially The Jacobite Steam Train! Plenty of good memories to take home and feast on! A bientot!

28th July 2024:

Barbara is very friendly and deals with things with the minimum of fuss.

Short walk to Corpach marina to see boats and ships start their journey along the Caledonian Canal locks particularly the Neptune Staircase. Jacobite Steam train passes close by.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us once again, although on this occasion, without your lovely dog. :( We look forward to your next visit and hope your journey home went well.

17th July 2024:

be prepared to walk downstairs to bathroom very cluttered hostess was great

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. The facilities are shared, which is indicated on the Booking Form. Sharing means that you have to walk a few steps to access the Shower Room, as the facilities are not in your Bedroom - only six steps in total, in two stages, downstairs! This is our home, and yes, we do have a lot of things, which does give a cluttered appearance to some, but everything is neat and tidy and never impedes our guests from moving freely around the house. I have to say your two companions thought the house was lovely and said as much to me! I'm glad you thought I was 'great' even though surprisingly, you only scored 3 (average) for everything else!

13th July 2024:

Very nice bed and breakfast. Calm, confortable. Very friendly guests. They provided us a safe storage for our bikes. We feel as at home.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay and felt 'at home' whilst here. We hope your subsequent bike journey further north went well.

13th July 2024:

Everything was clean, the breakfasts were great, the book collection was impressive, Barbara was extremely helpful with transportation questions and the backyard is great on sunny days. A good place to unwind after walking the West Highland Trail.

Walking down to the locks to watch the boats move through and walking along the shore line was a great route into town. The train and bus were all close by. The pedestrian street through the middle of Fort William was perfect for strolling and dining out.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your time with us and hope you enjoyed that part of the WHW you left us to complete yesterday.

9th July 2024:

Great breakfast. Thank you

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. I have to say that I was rather surprised by your score of 4/5 for Location. Considering you were arriving by train at Corpach Station and that 'Nevis View' is so close to not only the Station but also the the Caledonian Canal Basin, from where you were setting out for your rowing trip to Inverness on Monday morning, I would have thought 5/5 would have been more appropriate! However, I'm so glad you thought your Breakfast was good - I hope it sustained you on the first day of your rowing expedition to Inverness!

21st June 2024:

A possibility to come back after 11 pm would be great.

Have a car or dinner on the way to Nevis View

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. There is no nightly curfew timing and I'm sorry you misunderstood what was said. We usually lock the front door at 23.00, but if we know our guests are going to be back later than this, we leave the door unlocked and ask our guests to lock it when they return. Unfortunately, Tradewinds, our local pub (in Corpach). only offers hot food until 20.00 on Friday and Saturday evenings. The Co-op Supermarket in Corpach, sells a selection of food and is open until approximately 22.00. Fort William offers many different eating possibilities which are easier to access if you have your own transport.

21st June 2024:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed having you stay and hope you managed to reach Glenfinnan in good time to see The Jacobite Steam Train cross the viaduct.

14th June 2024:

Make the walk from Fort William until Corpach, I liked the Rannoch Burger in the Crofter Bar a lot!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your visit.

6th June 2024:

Although our bedroom was a bit small for 3 people, it was clean, beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the breakfast. We were able to park our car right in front of the property. Our host was very lovely and hospitable, she really made us feel like home. We really recommend Nevis View those looking for a nice B&B staying around Fort William and Glen Nevis area!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the lovely Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We really enjoyed meeting you all and hope you were sucdessful in finding somewhere to park at Glenfinnan and to see the Steam Train crossing the viaduct after you left. We're so glad you enjoyed your Breakfasts and hope they set you up for the rest of the day! Finally, enjoy the rest of your trip to Scotland. Wishing you all, all the very best!

28th May 2024:

Very welcoming and particularly helpful .

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad that you enjoyed your visit.

10th May 2024:

warm welcome in pleasant setting

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'.

6th May 2024:

Very good hosts, very comfortable and clean accommodation. Yummy breakfast. 10 out of 10

Indian Tandoori very good in town.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're so glad you that you enjoyed our 'yummy' Breakfasts and hope they sustained you through the days you spent at the Downhill Mountain Biking Championships in Fort William.

4th May 2024:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad that you enjoyed your visit and we look forward to welcoming you back again in twelve months' time! We hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.

10th October 2023:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your stay at 'Nevis View' this summer. We're glad you enjoyed your visit.

4th October 2023:

A nice little house, the room was quite small for 3 beds. The owner was very nice and the breakfast was very good.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. Admittedly, the room is compact, but it has been passed as being suitable for three people by Visit Scotland. The room size and the fact that facilities are shared, is reflected in the price for the room which is lower than you would otherwise be expected to pay in this area.

3rd October 2023:

Great affordable place. We had some travel issues with getting there on time and Barbara was great with accommodating it.

Wish I had more time in Fort William!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. Thank you for keeping us updated as to your travel woes! Coming later than planned is not a problem when you keep in touch!

1st October 2023:

A very welcoming stay at Nevis View. Barbara was very attentive and the place was very honey and clean. Lovely breakfast in the morning.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your visit and especially your Breakfast! Did you manage to fit in a a paddle on your way home?

27th September 2023:

The B&B was very comfortable and clean. Barbara went out of her way to do a favour for us prior to arrival and also was very gracious with our hour of arrival as the train was late. It was a very easy walk from the train station (less than 5 min). The breakfast was good and sustained us until lunch!

This B&B is right off the path of the Great Glen Way. There is a small COOP 5 min walk away. The train station is less than a 10 min walk. Convient location!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the lovely Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. It was a pleasure to have been able to help you out regarding the keys and although the train was very late in arriving in Corpach, (these things sometimes happen) we were happy to stay up to show you to your room. We only hope that the weather wasn't too awful for the length of your walk up the Great Glen and that you were able to enjoy the countryside you were passing through!

13th September 2023:

Your own room, with a shared shower/toilet. Breakfast was a good scottish one. We were there on sunday and it was a bit late. We tried a lot of restaurants around 8pm but there was notting to find tht was still open.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your stay at 'Nevis View', which has a Visit Scotland classification of Three Stars. I'm not quite sure what facilites you expected, but the majority of my guests are more than happy with what we offer and that their expectations are met. In the U.K., and also in Europe I believe, Restaurants are finding that staff are hard to find and so their opening hours and days that they open are restricted. I'm sorry you couldn't find anywhere in Fort William to eat at 20.00, but that is outwith my control! With hindsight, it might have been an idea for you to have eaten in Mallaig before you boarded the evening Steam Train back to Fort William.

13th September 2023:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed having you stay. From the point of view of location, which we can do nothing about, I would have thought that for you, it was perfect, especially as you were beginning the second part of your holiday in Scotland, paddling to Inverness along the length of the Caledonian Canal which is literally, just on our doorstep! We hope the weather after the first day of that trip wasn't too awful and that you enjoyed seeing the length of The Great Glen from the water.

11th September 2023:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed being here and hope your journey back to London went well.

10th September 2023:

Very clean. Breakfast was love. Barbara was a lovely host

There was a path right beside Nevis View that took you into the town. Trade winds was a lovely little pub that did meals. There is another restaurant by the harbour.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your visit with us and also to Tradewinds (the local pub)!

31st August 2023:

Such a hospitable, comfortable and relaxed place to stay.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the Review of your most recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed your company once again, and shall look forward to seeing you next year.

11th August 2023:

Barbara was happy to help with enquiries I.e. bus to Glen Nevis. I found the sign on door a bit unwelcoming' knock or ring.... Great that I could enjoy the privacy watching birds feeding during breakfast and Barbara was very attentive. Would be good to be able to pay by credit card. Luckily the weather was great and I was out during the day. However, I wonder if the out 10am to 5pm would apply in rain. Thanks for a really enjoyable stay

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your stay at 'Nevis View'. The notice on the door, about which you comment, says "Welcome! Visitors are asked to either knock or ring the bell and then wait to be invited in. Thank you." I don't see how this can be deemed to be unwelcoming, especially as anyone arriving for the first time to stay here, is going to have to do just that moments later! We are offering B&B in our home and the notice is there to ask Guests (who are expected) to not just walk in unannounced on arrival, as had often happened in the past. We prefer to welcome guests in person and to show them to their rooms, where we can explain where everything is and how things work. As you know, we do not have credit card facilities but when you booked, you were sent an email which mentioned our not having these facilities and the need to pay any balance due in cash. We use the time between 10.00 and 17.00 to, for instance, get rooms ready, clean, do the washing, hang it out, do the necessary shopping and go to appointments that might have been made. Although we ask guests staying more than one night to go out for the day during those times, the email sent on booking also indicates that, with prior agreement or an emergency, returning within those times is also possible. Most of our guests come to the area with plans to do lots of activities / visits etc., which they undertake whatever the weather and often stay out considerably longer than 17.00, as you did! We're really glad you enjoyed your stay and that I was able to help with information that enabled you to achieve what you wanted to do on both days. We hope you were successful in your walk up and down Ben Nevis and weren't too tired at the end of it all.

9th August 2023:

Everything is perfect, a really nice and cozy place to stay.

We went walking to Fort Williams in a path next to the lake and it was really nice

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at Nevis View'. We enjoyed having you here and are really glad that everything worked out for you after the initial hiccup! We hope you have a wonderful time during the rest of your holiday in Scotland.

25th July 2023:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.

23rd July 2023:

Comfortable and welcoming B&B

Nowhere near to eat so I'd recommend eating in Fort William

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. It was a pleasure to have you stay and we're glad you had a positive experience. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about our location and the fact that there is nowehere in Corpach which serves food. At least there is plenty of choice in Fort William!

17th July 2023:

Warm welcome, quiet place, very nice B&B.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.

13th July 2023:

We're not fans of shared bathrooms, but the stay close to Fort William was a good opportunity for us. For a longer stay we would prefer a bigger room with own bathroom, but for one night just to travel through that's just fine. Barbara is a caring host and flexible with arrival (if announced). Although the breakfast room is the same as her living room, we really enjoyed her self cooked breakfast!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. Your comments about the shared Bathroom come as a bit of a surprise, because when anyone makes a booking to stay at 'Nevis View', it is made quite clear on the Booking Form, that the facilities are shared and the B&B rate reflects this. On the night you were here, there was only one other person staying and sharing these facilities with you. Breakfast is always served to our Guests in our large Dining cum Sitting Room. (In the UK, houses often have such shared rooms and do not have seperate Dining and Sitting Rooms.) Because you stayed in early June, I cannot remember the timing of your Breakfast, but as my other guest was climbing Ben Nevis that day, I rather think you had sole use of the Dining Room that morning. As no-one ever uses the Sitting Room end when Breakfast is being served, I'm not sure why this was even mentioned, but I'm really glad you enjoyed the Breakfast provided!

4th July 2023:

WONDERFUL! Barbara and Richard were amazing, kind, and very accommodating. It was a real pleasure to spend the few days with them. I have no reservations to recommend guests to spend time there.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay with us. We were delighted to have met you and to have been able to help you out when your travel plans went so badly wrong! Congratulations on summitting the Ben, and although you said you would NEVER do it again, you did mention returning to scale some of the lesser mountains in the area. We look forward to meeting up with you again and hope your travelling goes far more smoothly next time around!

4th July 2023:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. For a Three Star B&B, we think the facilities offered are very good - a view echoed by the vast majority of our guests.

26th June 2023:

Thank you Barbara for a lovely short stay! My room was very clean and cozy and every consideration was made — an excellent outpost for an impromptu hike in the area.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're so glad that what we had to offer during your all too brief stay, helped to enhance your visit to the area.

25th June 2023:

Barbara was very helpful,I sat out and had a chat with her and husband in the sun.

The Guest house is a 10 minute walk for Corpach train station the final bit is up a hill, also there was nowhere local to get a meal

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. For someone about to walk the Great Glen Way, and the relative closeness of Corpach Station to 'Nevis View' we're really surprised that you only scored us 3 for Location, especially as the Station where you arrived, and the start of the Great Glen Way, are so close to the house. There's nothing we can do about the lack of eating facilities in Corpach, but we were able to point you in the direction of the two eateries that are closest to 'Nevis View'. The Co-op, which is right on our doorstep here in Corpach, does sell sandwiches, wraps, snacks, food-to-go and a good selection of liquid refreshements, both hot and cold, which many of our guests find suits their needs.

22nd June 2023:

Great welcome. Very comfortable and delicious breakfast.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you enjoyed your visit and hope your onward journey was less tiring than your journey to Fort William was!

19th June 2023:

Very homely and comfortable

As I arrived late (8pm) I had limited options for eating out. However, there are two good takeaways in Caol (a short drive away) both open until 9.30, and there are great views of Ben Nevis from the side of the loch!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. I have to add that there are excellent views of Ben Nevis from this house - hence the name 'Nevis View'! There are very limited options for eating out in Corpach, but apart from the Take Aways in Caol that you mention (there are more than two), there is also a pub called The Lochy and a Hotel called The Moorings which has a Bistro offering food, both of which are about 1.5 miles away and both within walking distance if you wanted some exercise after your journey. Other than that, you do have to go into Fort William where there is plenty of choice, but again, most places stop serving by 21.00.

13th June 2023:

Beautiful place and the breakfast is really nice. Thanks a lot!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and that you particularly enjoyed your Breakfasts!

5th June 2023:

This location worked out perfectly for my needs and was affordable without compromising on comfort.

Beautiful for a walk along the waterfront. I then had a fantastic day in the hills.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad that by staying here, your needs were met and that you enjoyed your day out in the hills afterwards and that everything worked out for you.

9th May 2023:

Excellent accommodation, very welcoming host

Try local pub

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're so glad you enjoyed your visit and that the local Pub comes recommended. Hope the Road Atlas helped you to find the best route home avoiding all the roadworks on the M6 and M5!

7th May 2023:

Lovely quiet bed and breakfast away from the bustle of fort William. Barbara the owner communicates your booking and needs very efficiently and is very accommodating.Nice to see single room availability these days and to support a long established business. Book in complete confidence, from a very experienced traveller.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're so glad you enjoyed your visit and that we got everything right for you! Hope the plans you were telling me about that you'd made, not only for the journey but also for your holiday, all fell into place and that you had a great time away.

19th September 2022:

Great place to stop over when walking or cycling along the Great Glen way in a quiet area with amazing views over the Loch. Barbara and her husband gave me a friendly welcome, my room was comfortable and a good breakfast is served in the morning too.

There is a bike lock made available for cyclists. The village of Corpach doesn't have many amenities but there is a co-op down the road for shopping and a small bar next to it; for dinner you have to go to Caol which is a 10 minute cycle or 30 minute walk.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We are glad you enjoyed your visit and found that the local amenities, although sparse, were useful to you. Besides the open secure bike lock, we also offer cyclists, secure, covered storage facilities in which to put your bikes overnight.

15th September 2022:

A very warm welcoming and a great stay overall. Calm location with lovely green surroundings, very clean room and facilities and delicious breakfast. In proximity to both train and bus stations.

1h walk from Fort William. Accessible by train and bus (once every hour at least). There's a local COOP supermarket nearby and a pub (check if they serve food before you decide to go; it depends on the day of the week) - nothing fancy.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. Until 17.00 there is a twice hourly bus service every day except Sundays, when it becomes roughly once every hour as it is after 17.00 on weekdays and Saturdays. During the Summer Timetable there are four trains a day in either direction (Glasgow and Mallaig). The Train Station and Bus Stops are close to 'Nevis View'. The Co-op Supermarket has an ATM and opens early in the morning until late into the evening. It's a good place to buy reasonably priced food etc. for your packed lunches and evening meals. We're so glad you enjoyed your visit and hope we might see you again sometime in the future.

12th September 2022:

Good choice near Fort William.

Bronze Ford Model T statue in Fort William. Loch Ness cruise & center. Kinlochleven via ferrata. Great Glen Way walk in Fort William. Nevis Range cable car & viewpoints. C.I.C. Alpine hut & Ben Nevis.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. You've left plenty of recommendations for activities in and around Fort William which I'm sure others will find very useful. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us.

5th September 2022:

Always a great place to stay.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. As always, it was a pleasure to have you stay whilst you continue to tick off from your lists, the local Munros, Corbetts, Grahams, Marilyns etc that you come here to walk and climb! We look forward to your return visit next year!

14th August 2022:

Very nice and quiet place.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you had a good experience.

6th August 2022:

Very helpful. The beds were very comfortable and breakfast was good.

Merci beaucoup pour votre Review! We enjoyed having you stay at 'Nevis View'.

11th July 2022:

Friendly and helpful, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Thank you.

I t worked well for me, thanks.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the great Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed your company and hope that you successfully completed all the walks and climbs you had planned to do in the week following your stay

16th June 2022:

A quiet, pleasant & comfortable stay just a few minutes drive from Fort William town centre. Well presented breakfast in the morning. Met & Mrs Grieve are great hosts.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us.

2nd June 2022:

very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast

Although not ensuite lovely dressing gown are provided.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. As you know, our rooms do not have ensuite facilities, (which is always made clear at the time of Booking) but I'm glad you found having our Dressing Gowns useful when leaving your room to make use of the shared facilities.

29th May 2022:

Very kind and warm landlords.

We were not aware of the big distance from Fort Williams to the B&B.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. I'm sorry that you found the distance from the town centre to Corpach to be more than you thought it was going to be. However, those without a car like you, can easily get here using Public Transport (both by bus and by train) as you discovered! We enjoyed meeting you and talking about your travels and hope the next stage of your journey, also by bus, went well.

25th May 2022:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're glad you managed to avoid the dreadful weather that we in Fort William experienced whilst you were away kayaking to Inverness! We're also glad that you were able to see some of the red squirrels that just a few days beforehand, we had been made aware of, especially as your work involves greys rather than reds!

24th May 2022:

Comfortable, quirky and homely. Lots of local knowledge given on request. Conveniently close to fort william. Proper little pub and a co op just a stones throw away… Ideal! Relaxed quiet area.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed having you stay and are glad that you found the local facilities helped to enhance your visit! Glad too that our local knowledge was of help to you and to getting you to and from the Mountain Biking being held at Nevis Range. Just so sorry that you had to experience such dreadful weather over that particular weekend! Fingers crossed that the World Downhill Championships in 2023 are more spectator friendly!

Thank you for your great Review. We were pleased that you managed to reach the summit of Ben Nevis during your stay. Well done!

20th May 2022:

Room was a bit cramped, but not a problem as only stayed 1 night.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review! I know the room is on the small side, but it easily accommodates two, (and sometimes three) people. I hope you both enjoyed the rest of your hill walking trip in Scotland and achieved all your goals before you headed for home.

11th May 2022:

Amazing host, kind and helpful. Our room was clean and plaisant, our breakfast well-prepared, with a beautiful view from the dinning room. Thanks again Barbara for this lovely experience!

convenient bus/train/foot travelers Immaculately clean, incredibly efficient and well informed hostess.

Stay here; on the train stop Corpach. Walk the lock steps along the great Glen way

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for this glowing Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed your company and were glad we were able to help you plan aspects of the remainder of your visit to Scotland. We hope you managed to achieve your aims, despite having to rely on public transport which wasn't always going to 'play ball' with where you wanted to get to and when!

4th October 2021:

Second time here and will be returning.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your Reveiw of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We look forward to your return visit!

29th September 2021:

A really lovely B&B, we had one of the best nights sleep here during our 2 week exploration of Scotland. We'd love to stay again next time we venture northwards.

The lochy pub in Caol allows dogs in the bar area and served us some lovely food. If in to the outdoors there is so much to see and do around fort william and glen Coe but come prepared for all types of weather!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We're really glad to know that you enjoyed your stay and had one of your best night's sleep whilst here. Great that you found plenty to do in this area and weren't put off by the weather, despite having experienced all four seasons in one day - something that often happens in Scotland, but an experience that is not exclusive to Scotland!! We very much look forward to your return visit when you're next in Scotland.

22nd September 2021:

A GREAT HOME FROM HOME EXPERIENCE . LOCATION WAS IDYLLIC AND QUIET

FOR FOOD BOOK THE BREWERS IF YOU WANT TO DINE OR GO TO THE INDIAN TANDORI RESTUARANT AT FAR END OF HIGH STREET PARKING NEARBY.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We were glad you enjoyed staying here and we hope that you realise the reason for your trip and become permanent residents of Fort William in the not too distant future. Great to have personal recommendations as to where to eat locally. We will pass these on to future guests.

21st September 2021:

Great host, with very relaxed and friendly approach to guests making you feel very welcome in their home. Very knowledgeable of area and of Ben Nevis, peak can be seen from the room and various points at the property. Place is quiet and peaceful and great to get some restorative sleep. Breakfast was just right to fuel me up for the long days out and about.

Short walk / ride to the sea lock and canal where you can follow a nice trail path to fort William town centre. Local co-op on the main road well stocked with cash machine and small bar next door. There is a path down at the side of the accommodation. I also walked up Ben Nevis from here, heading down the canal to the sing beige, then head along the road to the distillery off the roundabout go through their yard which is a public right of way and follow the path along the stream until you turn left at the top, you follow a golf course and eventually reach the north face trail from here there’s a nice woodland area for various walks, or drive here to the north face car park. From here I headed up the mountain following the Càrn Mòr Dearg Arête and then for the summit of Ben Nevis, coming down safely on the mountain path then looping back to the north face trail. It’s the best hiking route I’ve ever done but not for the faint hearted, prepare for all weathers and take care attempting this. Be sure to let someone know your plan your route and when you intend to be back. I had a gps tracker on my watch along with the route loaded in.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your great Review about your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We really enjoyed having you stay and were extremely glad you when you returned from your long day out, safe and sound and that the Mountain Rescue didn't have to become involved with you doing this walk, undertaken in the most awful weather, although I believe it was better up in the mountains, than it was down at sea level!

20th September 2021:

Barbara Your B&B is located so well for touring, with excellent parking,such a clean well kept and interesting house and really good breakfast. Our room was lovely, if a bit small for twin beds and a dog, but perfectly adequate. The separate bathroom was close and well fitted and with only 2 rooms there was no problem. Excellent value for money. Best of all was the welcome we received. Thank you for our stay

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed your company and that of Jasper's too!

20th September 2021:

A warm welcome and excellent facilities. Our host takes an interest in our planned activities and provided bountiful advance directions for accessing the property

Lochy Inn at Banavie does very hearty and value meals

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review about your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. I'm really glad we were able to provide you with information about the short cut to our house before you walked much further, quite unnecessarily! It was interesting talking to you and finding out about your planned activities and we only hope you got to old Inverlochy Castle in time for your planned shot of the Jacobite Steam Train crossing the bridge over the River Lochy. Good to have your recommendation about The Lochy pub, which I can pass on to future guests.

17th September 2021:

Lovely welcoming stay with a wonderful host, felt like staying with a member of the family.

Perfect location for a stop off before visiting Glenfinnan or further on to the ferry to Skye at Mallaig. Lovely pub called The Lochy about a 30 min stroll from the property along the Loch front and the canal - its quicker than walking along the road and the views make up for the distance - you can drive in 5 minutes.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and that walking to The Lochy was such a pleasant experience for you. It's good to know that The Lochy is somewhere that can be recommended to future guests.

15th September 2021:

I received a very warm welcome after such a long journey - which was great. The owner was friendly and informative about the area. Really appreciated the recommendation for dinner. The room was comfortable, breakfast was good.

Steall waterfall is a must, but the path is rocky, there is no phone reception on this walk. But it was amazing! Food, ah this must be the Ben Nevis Inn, at the foot of Ben Nevis, beautiful location, great venue and amazing food. The Lochy near Corpach was also very good and reasonably priced. I haven't mentioned climbing Ben Nevis.... But did I need to?? :)

Would Recommend: Yes

We're so glad you enjoyed your recent stay at 'Nevis View' and that we were able to answer your questions and give you information that helped you plan what to do whilst in the area. The path to Steall Waterfall is being improved but can be quite difficult in places, as you discovered! However, the Ben track is more of an undertaking, but you got up and down on a wonderful day, weatherwise. Congratulations! The Ben Nevis Inn, at the foot of the Ben track, IS a great place to eat, to enjoy the food and the scenery whilst recovering from your day's exertions!

14th September 2021:

My usual and favourite place to stay in the Fort William area. Helpful and welcoming hosts. The B&B is in a leafy, quiet part of the village. Always a lovely place to return after a day out exploring the beautiful area.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your great Review. It was a pleasure to host your stay once again and we're so glad you had a great week, weather-wise, for your numerous walks and climbs throughout Lochaber. There can't be many places left that you still have to visit!

6th September 2021:

The view of the mountains was spectacular. I received the most amazing hospitality from the host! I will definitely book Nevis View again!!!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your positive comments about your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We enjoyed your company during the week you were here and very much hope to have you visit once again when you are working in Fort William.

6th September 2021:

Perfect stay as usual. Has everything you need. Friendly staff comfy bed. Lovely and clean. Tv and tea and coffee facilities in room. Plenty of storage. Private Shower room down short stairway which is spotless and well stocked. Perfect place to get a good quiet comfortable sleep.

It’s 10 minutes drive from Fort William centre or £10 in a taxi. Plenty of safe parking outside if you need it. No en-suite but private shower room which is perfect. Friendly owner. Barbara is adorable. I stay here because I need to sleep and I always get a great sleep Beautiful view from the bedroom across Loch Linnie toward Fort William too. Highly recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your very positive comments about your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. It was a pleasure to have you stay once more and we're so pleased that we were able to give you the quiet, and the chance to relax and sleep during the day, before resuming your driving duties late at night. We look forward to your next visit.

24th August 2021:

Lovely welcome, Barbara went above and beyond to make my stay so comfortable and I really appreciated the perfect early breakfast. Thank you so much!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely Review following your stay at 'Nevis View'. I was happy to give you an early Breakfast, especially since you had such a long way to drive after leaving here. You obviously got back safe and sound and I hope your own car did too and is now fully repaired!

23rd August 2021:

A very warm, welcoming and comfortable accommodation.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. We enjoyed having you stay at 'Nevis View' and hope your husband successfully completed his cycle ride to John o' Groats a few days later.

22nd August 2021:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. We enjoyed having you stay at 'Nevis View' and hope your journey home went well and that there were no delays!

14th August 2021:

Great stay. Nice quiet location for sleep. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Price was perfect too. Able to accommodate my early check in too Thanks Barbara.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. I'm glad we were able to offer you the early Check-in you needed and that you were able to make use of the time you had here, to have a good sleep in preparation for the long drive to the Lake District and then Snowdonia - part of the Three Peaks Challenge you were involved with. We hope we might have you stay with us again, though not necessarily as a driver for the Three Peaks Challenge, since you indicated you are a frequent visitor to Fort William!

13th August 2021:

I was surprised that we didn’t have access to our room between 10am and 5pm as this isn’t stated anywhere before booking or in booking confirmation. Also we weren’t given an outdoor key and told that it is locked at 11pm.

Would Recommend: No

Thank you for your Review. There is a small notice placed under the mirror, above the Chest of Drawers in the room you stayed in, asking our guests to either Check Out by 10.00 or for those who are staying more than one night, to go out for the day by 10.00 each morning and to not return to their Room before 17.00. These timings are included on the Booking Form and in an email you were sent in advance of your stay. We need this downtime without Guests in the house, so we can clean and service the accommodation, go out shopping, go to appointments that we might have made, etc., etc. We only give our Guests front door keys when we know we will not be home until after 17.00 and during your week's stay, that was never necessary. We usually lock-up for the night at 23.00 but if you had said you were unlikely to be back by then, you would have been given a front door key. 'Nevis View' is a family home where we happen to offer B&B. We do not, and never have offered 24 hour access. Perhaps a Hotel might have been a better option for you and your family if you felt this was a basic requirement?

2nd August 2021:

Lovely view across loch. Woodland walks nearby. Ample breakfast served quick. Hot shower. Room small,but adequate, warm and plenty of storage space.

Steps down to property and stairs in property so not suitable for people with mobility issues. Close to Caledonian Canal, Gemstone museum. Co-op only a few hundred yards away.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. It was a pleasure to have you and your dog stay with us.

31st July 2021:

Lovely welcome. Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast lovely. Barbra you are a lovely host.

Good 15 minutes outside Fort William. Need a car.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your lovely Review. It was a pleasure to have you stay at 'Nevis View'. Hope the journey home went well.

26th July 2021:

We found the host to be unfriendly and condescending. The room was very cramped, with the TV mounted next to the head of the bed, so you cannot watch TV without straining your neck! The beds were very uncomfortable. The miserly cooked breakfast included only 3 mushrooms, 1 tomato, baked beans and 1 vegan sausage. A shared bathroom (no separate wc) meant we were sharing with another guest, which in the current Covid climate was not great). To top it off, at breakfast the host informed us that we were required to sign a register because of fear of terrorism. Being South Asian we felt it was rather an inappropriate comment to make. She could have simply asked us to sign the register without making such an offensive suggestion.

Glen Coe and Steall Falls is really stunning. A pop up restaurant in Fort William called Tiger on the Wall had good vegan options, with helpful and friendly staff.

Would Recommend: No

Oh dear! Unfriendly and condescending I most certainly am not and the comments left by guests in the Visitor's Book do not support your assertion. Before you arrived, you made many, many phone calls and these were always answered with courtesy and detailed explanations when needed. Your journey was much longer than it should have been due to a fatal accident closing the A82 just south of Fort William, but I gave you as much support as I could, regarding the options available to you for the diversion which would bring you to 'Nevis View'. Location I can do nothing about and yet you booked to stay here, presumably knowing where the house was situated. As it turned out, it was extremely well situated for the diversion you had to take along the A830 to get to ‘Nevis View’ following the fatal accident on the A82! I am really surprised by your '3' rating for cleanliness, considering your comment in the Visitor's Book was that it was "nice and clean". If you had an issue, I would have preferred that you let me know when you were here and not wait until you wrote a Review. Breakfasts:- fruit juice, organic milk / plant based milk, a good selection of cereals and yoghurts, tea / coffee, toast, butter (dairy or plant based), selection of jams and marmalade + a cooked breakfast. My guests always comment favourably on what is offered and for meat eaters the cooked side of things consist of 2 slices of bacon, 1 sausage, I tomato and 1 egg. I'm sorry that you felt your Vegan Cooked Breakfasts were "miserly", but in quantity, they equated with the equivalent meat and Vegetarian based Breakfasts, which everyone rates highly. I cannot anticipate the appetite of all guests who stay here, but the quantity of cooked food served to our guests, has never previously been an issue. The Booking Form which you completed, clearly states that the facilities are shared between the two rooms I offer for B&B and so should not have been a surprise. The other guest who was staying the same night as you, came in late and was up and away long before you had Breakfast, so she could hardly have coincided with you and your family to make sharing the facilities awkward. I should like to apologise for offending you regarding my explanation about terrorism and why the details being asked for were needed. B&Bs in Fort William have recently been approached by Anti-Terrorist Police based in Edinburgh, regarding two people who might have been guests of a B&B in the area, and who subsequently appeared in Court charged with being in possession of explosives! Searching through the Visitor's Book I could ascertain that they had not stayed in the time frame the Police were interested in. From that enquiry came the demand that details such as I asked you for, are given by every guest. I ask for the details at Breakfast, because when you Check-in, you are busy with other matters and filling in the Scottish Government's Track and Trace Form. It never entered my head that the fact you are of South Asian descent might be a reason for offence being taken from a perfectly true statement of fact. I'm not sure what facilities you expected from a Three Star Visit Scotland B&B, but I'm sorry you felt they were “Poor”. The room is compact, but is of adequate size for three people sharing, otherwise Visit Scotland would not have given me the grading. If you wanted to watch T.V. without straining your neck, perhaps you could have moved to a more favourable spot? It sits on a swivel base so it can be angled to watch more easily. Although rated "Poor" the facilities offered in the room were well used by you and your family! The same beds which you and your family slept in and which you described as being "very uncomfortable", were only this morning commented on as being so comfortable that the guests had had a really, good night's sleep! I find the complete contrast of your experience and last night's guests very strange, given they refer to the same beds! Although you did not enjoy your stay at ‘Nevis View’ I’d like to wish you and your family all the best and would like to suggest you chose a Hotel next time around, which should match your expectations better than ‘Nevis View’ seems to have done.

4th July 2021:

Wonderful views over the loch to the mountains from my bedroom, very clean, with a bathroom and shower close by which I had to myself . Splendid breakfast and a welcoming host - who gave me advice on good dog walks. Sure hope to return

A walk down to the canal and loch from the side of the house. A local Co-op on the main road. And Glenfinnan viaduct only a 15 minute drive away

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at 'Nevis View' and that you found the dog walks advice useful! We look forward to your return visit.

26th June 2021:

I was supporting a crew in the Three Peaks Race. It was very convenient for the finish in Corpach. Lovely breakfast; thank you

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. We were glad that we were able to accommodate your early arrival and that you were able to catch up on much needed sleep before resuming your support of the crew in the Three Peaks race!

15th June 2021:

i stayed with my mate as we stayed there so we could climb Ben Nevis. The price was affordable for us both and not very far away. The room was clean and the beds very comfortable. Barbara was a great host and the breakfast was good too. Usb and free wifi in the room too.

not far from the bus stop and shops and a cafe and bar which i think did food but not too sure as went to Fort William to eat.We were there for a weekend to climb Ben Nevis but there is a tourist information shop in Fort William if you wanted to discover more. Also a train station in Corpach but we used the local bus and taxi from Fort William.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. We enjoyed having you stay at'Nevis View' and hope you had a good journey home after your long day on Saturday, when you successfully reached the summit of the Ben. There is a Visit Scotland Tourist Information Centre in Fort William, but I'd like to add that I am able to answer questions guests might have about the local area too. If I don't know, then I'm more than happy to search for answers in order to give our Guests the information they are looking for.

Good stay, nice breakfast. No complaints.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. It was good to have you stay.

7th June 2021:

The view and the breakfast are excellent!!

If walking up from the station it’s worth asking about the ‘short cut!’ (Especially if you have a fairly heavy bag!)

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review! I only wish I'd known you were coming on foot from Corpach Station and I would gladly have given you the 'short cut' directions to save you the extra distance and effort that Google Maps made you do! I hope you enjoyed the Steam Train the following day and that you got home to Cornwall before the restrictions for the G7 Summit were put in place.

6th June 2021:

My favourite place to stay when I'm in the Fort William area.

Excellent base for hill walking.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review, Owen. We enjoyed having you stay with us again and are so glad that only one day this time was spoilt by bad weather!

16th September 2020:

made very welcome Host took a personal interest in our welfare and visit very clean and comfortable

2 pubs with meals within a mile walk, or public transport available for trips to Fort William Ideal for visiting the railway to Mallaig

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. It was a pleasure to have had you stay at 'Nevis View'. I'm glad you found the local information that I was able to provide about travel and places to eat during your stay was of help to you and your holiday plans.

7th September 2020:

I had a lovely week hill walking, for which Nevis View is the ideal base. Comfortable room with good internet and everything I needed. Very helpful and accommodating host.

Within easy reach of all facilities in Fort William and there's a good Coop and other services in the village. Perfect location for hill walking and no doubt many other activities.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. It was good that on this occasion, the weather was more suited to your hill-walking activities than it was last year! We look forward to having you stay next year whilst you bag more Munros, Corbetts and Grahams!

22nd October 2019:

Excellent base for a week of hill walking. Unfailingly helpful host, nice room with lovely views, quiet, ample parking. Close to the hills and close to Fort William's facilities.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your kind Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. We look forward to seeing you again next year, when we hope the weather will be kinder to you and your hill-walking activities, than it was last month!!

30th September 2019:

Older hostess with interesting collections. Bedroom upstairs, bath downstairs. Delicious breakfast. Park on street.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your kind Review of your recent stay wih us! Not sure about the 'older hostess' comment, but I guess that despite feeling incredibly young at heart, my outer shell does reflect the passing of the years!

Our room had everything we needed. Our hostess was kind and helpful. The facilities were quite nice and the breakfast was excellent. Really enjoyed our stay.

Easy driving distance to Fort William, the Glenfinnan Viaduct, and many other interests. Lovely view from the bedroom windows. Nevis View is an apt name. Only one caveat: this would not be a good choice for someone with mobility issues.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th July 2019:

Would Recommend: No

Thank you for your Review. I am disappointed you would not recommend staying at 'Nevis View' and would appreciate knowing why, so I could address the concerns which led you to this conclusion. I am really surprised by your verdict since you left an unsolicted comment in the Visitors' Book which said "Really lovely. Thanks a lot."

26th July 2019:

Excellent B & B tenu par une dame charmante. Chambre un peu petite pour trois. Très propre et bien décorée. Aucun problème avec le partage des WC et de la douche avec une autre personne. Excellent petit déjeuner écossais.

Would Recommend: Yes

Merci pour votre commentaire de votre récent séjour à 'Nevis View'. C'était bien de rester. Thank you or your Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View'. It was nice to have you stay.

5th July 2019:

A bit tight for space. Shared bathroom.

Co-op nearby

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review. You stayed in a Double Room (for Single Occupancy) so I'm surprised to see you state you were tight for space! The Shared Bathroom is clearly identified on the Booking Form, but due to a cancellation that evening for the only other room I let for B & B, you were the only guest using the Shower Room, which is exclusively kept for Guests' use, so there were no issues over its availability when you stayed. The local Co-op is open from 06.00 until 23.00 every day, Christmas / New Year exceptions.

1st July 2019:

Lovely welcome and delicious breakfast. Wonderful views (and weather to go with them!!). Only downside was having to go down stairs to shared shower room (but price reflected this so still very good value).

Visit canal and take the B road up to the Commando Memorial above Spean Bridge - wonderful views of Ben Nevis on the way back!!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your Review, especially for all the positives! The Shared Bathroom is clearly identified on the Booking Form and as you say, my room rates do reflect this. I'm disappointed to have only scored a 3 for Facilities, when there is a Colour t.v, a clock / radio, a hospitality tray, hairdryer and a Dressing Gown available, not to mention the spectacular views!! Surely, a higher score is warranted here?!

29th June 2019:

17th June 2019:

As we arrived too early, we got a cold welcome. The rooms on the first floor are very small, but have a lot of facilities. The shared bathroom is on the ground floor. Breakfast is OK. Concerning eating-out our host told us that she doesn't go out for a meal and can't recommend a place, but she knew the locations of some places.

The museum in Fort William shows a lot about local and Scottish history.

Would Recommend: No

Oh dear!! I'm sorry that you felt you had a cold welcome. Check-in is offered between 16.00 and 19.00 and as you said you would arrive between 16.00 and 16.30, I don't think you could have arrived 'too early'. I don't recall treating you and your parents any differently than I would any other guest, which many of the unsolicited comments in my Visitors' Book say how welcoming and friendly I am! There are also plenty of comments which say how good my Breakfasts are, so I am disappointed you thought yours were only 'OK'. You knew in advance that the Shower Room is shared, but with only three of you, from the same family, I wouldn't have thought this to be a problem. The layout of the house I can do nothing about - that's the way it is! The Bedrooms, two up, two down, are split level, and are NOT two full storeys high. The Bedrooms I let for B&B are on the upper floor, reached by six steps, in three stages and the Shower Room is on the Ground Floor and is not that far away. The Bedrooms are small but are well equipped, which you acknowledge in your comments. It is true, that because we live here, we don't go out for meals and so do not feel we can recommend anywhere without personal experience. Additionally, I prefer the non-committal approach since we do not know our newly arrived guests, which type of environment you like to eat in (e.g. restaurant / pub), what your food preferences are, nor what your budget is! What if you didn't like the recommended eating place? You would no doubt condemn me for that too, which is why I do not recommend! I do know more than 'some places' to eat and as there is a Handbook in the Bedrooms which list almost all of the eating places both in Fort William itself and within easy reach of the town centre, I wouldn't have thought that it would be a problem for you to find somewhere to eat that suited you and your family.

2nd June 2019:

The B&B was spotlessly clean, breakfast was great and the hosts were really friendly and helpful.

There is a train station in Corpach which is a short walk from Nevis View £2.50 each way to Fort William and the last train to Corpach from Fort William is at 22:11 Neptune’s Staircase is about a 20min walk away or you can hop on the bus (which stops outside the Gem museum on the main road on the hour and half hour) the bus also runs through to Fort William.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your positive Review of 'Nevis View'. We look forward to welcoming you to stay here once again later on this month.

It was such a pleasure to arrive at a lovely, cosy and immaculately clean place. The host was welcoming and wonderful. We felt as if everything was waiting only and especially for us. The views from the house were lovely.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your lovely Review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay here at 'Nevis View'.

Lovely small room with a great view. Dog friendly and no charge good breakfast friendly host left a top in my room owners took the trouble to find my car and left it for me

Glen Finnan, sands at Morar cable car to Anoech Mor

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review. It was no trouble to return the top to you, especially since you had, in conversation, said where you would be heading when you left 'Nevis View'!

Thank you for your review. I am surprised to learn that you would not recommend our property to other travellers and am left wondering why. Your unsolicited comment left in our Visitors'Book says 'Thank you very much for all and for advice too!' This would imply that your stay here was a very positive experience and is contrary to your comment about not recommending us to other travellers.

You should know, that the Nevis-View ist a private B&B in the house of the hosts. You share the entrance and corridor, brakfast is served in the living room. The rooms are 50s style and a bit to full of things. If you like this style, I would recommand it.

Corpach is about 5km from Fort William. Its a little village, wich is nice situated on the Caledonia Canal. There is a Coop Supermarket (open till 11pmp), but no Pubs to diner. I would recommand to walk to "The Lochy" (about 2,5km each way) in the next village (Banavie), which also is a beautiful promenade.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your surprising Review! Our B & B is also our home and yes, we have plenty of possessions, but everything has its place and is kept there, neatly and tidily. We let two Bedrooms for B & B and so everyone, whether family or guest, shares the entrance and the corridor in order to be able to access the various rooms within the house. I don't know of any B & B or Guest House that doesn't share the entrance and corridor with the owner and their family if they live on the premises. The house was not built until the middle 1960s so the rooms cannot be, and are not, in the style of the 1950s! We don't live in the past and none of the rooms reflect the past - they are all freshly decorated and are in keeping with the present era. We have one large Dining cum Sitting Room and any meal is served to guests seated at the table in the Dining Room, NOT the Sitting Room! I had hoped for a 5 for Service and Staff considering you were collected from Fort William on the evening of your stay, AND, when I realised you had miscalculated the timing of the early morning train by some 30 minutes, woke you in sufficient time for you to have Breakfast served at 06.30 (a full hour earlier than I normally start) and still have time to catch the train, which you would otherwise have missed!!

would not go back

Would Recommend: No

To say this Review of your recent stay at 'Nevis View' is very disappointing is putting it mildly, especially as the unsolicited comment in the Visitors Book that you wrote said "Great"! Quite a contradiction!! Location I can do nothing about, but you booked the property a full month before your actual stay and presumably knew where Corpach was, otherwise you would have chosen somewhere else that suited you better. A '3' for Cleanliness is also disappointing, seeing as all areas throughout the property are thoroughly cleaned everyday. A '1' for Facilities is outrageous, considering everything that is provided to all our guests as a matter of course! We would not have been awarded a grading of 3 Stars by Visit Scotland if the facilities were poor, which they certainly are NOT! A '1' for Service / Staff is shocking, especially since my husband and I went out of our way to help you in every way we could during your stay. All in all, a very disappointing Review from a guest we actually enjoyed having to stay!

5th July 2018:

Need to be out of room by 10 a.m. every single day was inconvenient & difficult.

Would suggest the following are worth seeing: Banavie swing bridges and Neptune's staircase; n Steall (although path is slightly dangerous) and Inchree waterfalls.

Would Recommend: No

I'm sorry that you felt that the Service provided to you during your stay of two weeks was average, especially since you were provided with everything for which you did not have to ask and then again, for everything for which you did ask, including being woken up at 09.00 every day for Breakfast! You were often back extremely late at night and fresh milk was always provided to you, no matter the hour, so you could have your cups of tea in your room. It is usual for B & B s to have a time in which the owners can clean and tidy, prepare the rooms for the next guests, go shopping for what is needed in the B & B and to have a short period of down time. Appointments that are needed are made specifically during this period. Guests being asked to vacate their room from 10.00 until 16.00 everyday is not out of the ordinary. If it really is a necessity for you to stay in for as long as you want until you are ready to begin your day, then I would suggest you stay at a Hotel, where this should be less of a problem.

4th July 2018:

nice place not far away from Fort William

Picknick (Tables available) at the Caledonian Canal Lock - overlooking Loch Linney - highly recommendable!

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd July 2018:

Did the job.

Climbing Ben Nevis is hard going!

Would Recommend: Yes

Well, I would have expected a higher rating than 3 for Service / Staff, considering that for the two days you stayed, I got up much earlier than I normally do, in order to serve you Breakfast well BEFORE the usual time that Breakfast is offered!! Disappointing that going the extra mile to help you out, wasn't acknowledged in your scoring!!

Location - yours was a last minute booking and so the location might not have been what you would have chosen if you had a number of places to chose from. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about the location, BUT the house looks onto Ben Nevis (hence the name), onto the mountains and lochs and towards Fort William. Most guests think the views to be had are fantastic and so the location can't be that bad! I'm glad you thought the cleanliness was good but am disappointed that you only gave a 3 for facilities. You have to remember we are a Three Star B&B and so the facilities are not going to be as extensive as places which have been awarded a higher grading than mine. I provide hairdryers in the rooms, Dressing Gowns for my guests to wear to and from the shared facilities, tea / coffee making facilities, clock / radio and colour t.v. together with very comfortable beds and furnishings to a high standard! Being awarded a 2 for Service / Staff is very disappointing. I don't understand this rating as the Staff never changes and the Service I provide to my guests is always of the same high standard and I'm frequently complimented on my hosting. Strange that the guests providing the following two Reviews after yours both rated Service / Staff as 5. Despite the overall rating of 3 which you gave me, I'm glad to see that you would recommend 'Nevis View' to other travellers!

small rooms, very nice hosts

very nice walk along the canal in Corpach, beautifull view

Would Recommend: Yes

We were very disappointed to read the Review you left after your stay at 'Nevis View' last week. Despite your very low overall score for 'Nevis View', you said you would recommend our property to other travellers, which seems a bit of a contradiction, but for which we are very grateful! The location we can do nothing about, but when you booked the accommodation in early March, there must have been plenty of properties from which to choose and despite the location being clearly stated, you chose to stay here, so the location must have been acceptable to you then. The unsolicited comment you left in our Visitor's Book mentioned the "stunning views" which can only be because of our location! A score of 1 for cleanliness is extremely disappointing, especially since each bedroom, the Shower Room and the rest of the house was thoroughly cleaned everyday. The majority of our visitors actually comment on how clean the property is, so it is a pity you did not raise the issues you seem to have had whilst you were here, so they could have been addressed. We don't actually understand your rating, as the cleaning done during your stay, was exactly the same as when others have stayed, leading to the complimentary comments. Last year when 'Nevis View' was inspected by Visit Scotland, we were awarded Three Stars. The Inspector actually complimented us on the facilities we offer, so we're not sure what additional facilities you were expecting to have provided. Four and Five Star properties, by virtue of the number of stars, have more facilities, so in future, you should maybe look for properties with a higher grading than we have. Your comment "very nice hosts" doesn't tally with your score of two for Service / Staff. Again, unsolicited comments in the Visitor's Book completely contradict your verdict and we don't know what more could have been done to improve your scoring as you were treated no differently to anyone other of our guests.

Nice place to stay, not so far by car from the city Fort William. The owner was good and understandable regarding our demands. The room was enjoyable. The breakfast is included and it is a plus!

Not referenced on booking.com, you've to search by another local website.

Would Recommend: Yes

We were happy to stay with Barbara, but found the room a bit cramped. The doors on the wardrobes all opened the wrong to make getting things in and out easier.

Neptune's Staircase and the Morrings Restaurant were great.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th April 2018:

Stayed the one night as on a course nearby - incredibly friendly and helpful and a delicious breakfast. Would recommend!

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd April 2018:

Great location, fab sized rooms for two adults and a toddler.

Great views of Nevis, very convenient location for Fort William, Ben Nevis or travelling further up to the Highlands as we did!

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd April 2018:

A great B&B for a bargain price. Bearing in mind this is the same price as the SYHA or any other hostel, you shouldn't be going expecting 5* luxury and en suites. If you're after a warm, hospitable host, cosy room, cooked breakfast, don't mind sharing a bathroom and don't want to pay some of the more premium rates in Fort William/Corpach then the Nevis View is genuinely perfect. I stayed in the single room, which had ample space to spread out my climbing gear and heavy bags, the cooked breakfast was really good, I was offered as much coffee as I could drink and Barbara couldn't have been more hospitable and genuine. For £35 a night you can't go wrong.

They don't take card payment, but there is a conveniently located cash point at the co-op

Would Recommend: Yes

Very good location for what i wanted to do and a perfect example of a B&B. If you Opt in to have the evening meal you wount be disappointed.

Very close to the station for trips out.
