Things to Do Near Fort William

“Our group of 10 were all overjoyed with the quality of accommodations at Highwinds. We all loved having ensuite bathrooms, comfortable beds and a huge social kitchen. The location was scenic and peaceful. Excellent communication from our host Jonathan.”

“If this property is available, then book it! We were blown away both inside and out! Jonathan has thought of everything you could possibly need. There was so much space for our family of 8, and we had most incredible views from every window.”

“This house is truly exceptional. The home is large and beautifully laid out with all the high quality amenities you could want. The location is stunning and very convenient to Ben Nevis as well as trips to Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the Fort William train to Mallaig.”

“We stayed at Jonathan's place for our wedding and from start to finish he was amazing. The house itself really is a home from home and it was everything you could ever need. It's beautiful inside, with the most stunning views out of every bedroom window.”

“Absolutely outstanding stay at Highwinds Lodge! The location is unbeatable — nestled in peaceful fields with breathtaking views of Ben Nevis, yet just a short drive from Fort William. The lodge itself is beautifully appointed, with every detail thoughtfully considered.”

“We are a group of 5 couples travelling from Australia to do the West Highland Way and chose Highwinds as a chance to chill out and relax after the walk. Could not have asked for a better spot! Jonathan has been available and responsive from time of booking.”

“Probably our best Airbnb experience ever! Used it as home base to explore Isle of Skye, Loch Ness, Eilean Donan Castle and the Fort William area. Sunset out the window and from the front yard was breathtaking and made Ben Nevis at the other end of the road glow. Terrific hosts, terrific house, terrific views, terrific location!”

“Exceeded expectations. The property is at a perfect location, away from busy town yet within reachable distance of shops and restaurants. Great views to peak of Ben Nevis from the property.”

“Amazing stay. Our family of 9 had plenty of space and enjoyed everything about the place. We wished we'd stayed longer! The surrounding area is even more spectacular though. Views of the mountain and fields around made it easy to forget about the outside world and relax.”

“The setting is something out of a movie, the backdrop a dream and the peace and quiet you experience is out of this world. It's close to a Castle hotel that has breathtaking pictures. Lots of good food close by and a great little town to shop at.”

“A beautiful modern fully equipped hi-tech home in a peaceful gorgeous location yet close to everything we might need for shopping and restaurants. We rented Highwinds for the month of June. Jonathan and Andrew were amazing hosts in preparing for our visit.”

“Everything about our stay was fantastic. The location is superb, down a beautiful road with jaw-dropping views. Jonathan is very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed.”

“This was our second stay at Highwinds and it was fantastic yet again. Jonathan is a fabulous host and the house is simply stunning. The house is well positioned to explore everything from Loch Ness to the walks of Glencoe.”

“Absolutely fantastic stay! Wish we had stayed longer. The house was spotless, perfectly located for hiking up Ben Nevis and it was so gorgeous for a weekend away.”

“Top notch accommodation for the Fort William area. Beautiful spacious and warm house with stunning views. Jonathan was an amazing host with so many thoughtful touches too. One of the best places we've ever stayed at on Airbnb.”

“The most beautiful Airbnb we have ever been to. We loved the sheep and horses at the farm nearby, and loved that the house was so close to the main areas for shopping and groceries.”

“Our stay was exceptional! From the generous welcome spread, to the stunning landscape views with surrounding mother and baby sheep and horses, we were all very sad to leave! It was a home away from home.”

“The house has wonderful views of Ben Nevis and is on a quiet street with a pasture of sheep across the street. With local grocery stores so close, we ended up eating most meals in rather than dining out. I would absolutely recommend this house.”

“Jonathan's house is brilliant — really good spec and lots of space. The view out to Ben Nevis from the house is spectacular and you can walk out to hills easily directly from the house.”

“We stayed at Jonathan's place while we were in Scotland for our wedding. It's beautiful inside, with the most stunning views out of every bedroom window. It's a perfect place to go away with friends or family.”

“The home and location were both stunning and exactly as described. Jonathan recommended some great places in the area to visit. Would definitely recommend and stay again.”

“We had a fantastic stay at Highwinds. The whole process was very easy due to the instructions we where given. The accommodation was spotless and beautifully decorated. We had a very comfortable and relaxed stay. The hosts thought of everything that you could possibly need. There was plenty to do round about even just walking down the street looking at the animals was fun for us. Would definitely love to stay here again.”

“This is a well presented, clean, very well equipped home. The host responds very promptly to any question. The hospitality provisions on arrival are a very kind and thoughtful gesture. Would be hard to stay elsewhere once stayed here! Perfect for a group to explore the surrounding area as well as Ben Nevis being a 10 min drive.”

“Jonathan's home is stunning! The home is immaculate and warm. The views are incredible. The home is outfitted with everything you would ever need. The kids loved the media room and all its cool features. Would love to visit again!”

“We had the most perfect time in Jonathan's house and I think it was my best Airbnb experience so far! The house is perfect (even better than the pictures): rooms and ensuite bathrooms are spacious and extremely comfortable, the different living rooms enable you to chill and read one of the many great books in the house, or watch TV on the huge screen, and the whole house is perfectly equipped and super clean. The location is great (5 min drive from Fort William) and the view of Ben Nevis is fantastic! And last but not least, the hospitality from Jonathan was amazing: we were here for my mother-in-law's birthday and he had prepared a birthday card! There was already everything for a good breakfast and an appetizer. The communication before, during and after the trip was perfect. I'm already looking forward to coming back!”

“Great home with plenty of space for a large family / group. Fantastic home base for visiting Fort William or hiking around the Ben Nevis area.”

“Was an absolutely stunning place that exceeded our expectations. It was the most perfect place with beautiful views, as well as heaps to use at the property itself!”

“One of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had — and that’s saying something! From the moment we walked in, this place felt less like a dream home. The living room and common areas are spacious, comfortable, and perfect for gathering as a group. Every bedroom had its own en-suite bathroom, which made mornings completely stress-free — an absolute game-changer for a large group or family. And the views from every room are amazing. The entertainment options alone are worth five stars. Video games, a beautiful piano, board games — there was never a dull moment, rain or shine. But what really blew us away was the welcome spread: fresh bagels, an abundance of snacks, and a fully stocked pantry. It felt like our hosts genuinely wanted us to feel at home from the second we arrived. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness here is unmatched. We left already talking about coming back.”

“Fabulous stay at HighWinds. Amazing property exceptionally well equipped. On arrival everything we needed was there - great welcome pack! And the location, those views of Ben Nevis - absolutely perfect! Thank you!”

“We had a lovely time at Jonathon’s home. He went above and beyond to make our experience special. He was quick to respond to messages, he was flexible with check in and he provided us with lots of food for our stay. The home was beautiful, tidy and clean, just like the photos show. The garden is secure which was perfect for our 3 dogs and you get views of Ben Nevis right from the house.”

“We were a large-ish group (2 families, 4 adults and 6 kids in total) and we absolutely loved the house. Very spacious. Every space is clean, newly furnished and well thought out. Lots of personalized welcome touches that made a difference. Kitchen was pristine, and had everything we needed. Bathrooms and all the house absolutely spotless. The house manual is very impressive, and extremely helpful, take a look at the website. We used one of the recommendations for one of our trips and we felt we had hit the jackpot. I have been in many AirBnbs over the years, and this is definitely at or very close to the top! Thanks Jonathan!”

“I would highly recommend staying in this Airbnb. The house is stunning with all the amenities you need and beyond. This was a home away from home and the location was superb! What more would you want than overlooking Ben Nevis! Thank you Jonathan for making our stay feel so special. Really hope to be back soon.”

“If you are looking for a place to stay in Fort William, stop, rent this place, and you’re in for a most amazing Airbnb experience. This is the most comfortable, beautiful, enjoyable experience we’ve ever had at any place we’ve ever stayed. If I could give 6 stars, I would. The views of Ben Nevis are amazing. The house is new, clean, beautifully appointed, and the kitchen was tremendous. Jonathan’s guide and website were super-helpful. We loved having all the maps and books of the area and Scotland. And what a treat to arrive after a long day of travel and find the kitchen loaded with snacks.”

“Jonathan is an excellent host, really responsive and proactive with instructions. The lodge itself is lovely. Very easy to find and with great views. Everything needed and more is provided at the lodge. We had a lovely time.”

“The best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in, the standards of the house were very high, lovely rooms, fully connected sound system throughout the house, we were greeted with food, walking essentials and drinks. Host catered for all of our needs, very thoughtful and we appreciated it after long travel. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need to make you feel right at home. Would 100% recommend this place to stay to anyone, couldn’t fault a thing… thank you!”

“What a wonderful place to stay! It was very comfortable, clean, nicely decorated, with everything our group of 9 needed. Such a beautiful location as well, it was perfect! Jonathan was a great host and even left us snacks and a nice card congratulating us on our anniversary. Absolutely would recommend!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful house and the stunning surroundings! The view of Ben Nevis is magnificent, and there is plenty to see and do in the area. Pleasant communication with host Jonathan. An absolute must!”

“Would rate 7 stars if possible. Definitely one of the best stays we've had. Great communication, the accommodation is actually larger than the pictures portrayed, curated with great local books, soaps, etc. Jonathan was proactive, gave us a bunch of information early and we were able to check in a bit early as well. Location is great, running and hiking right out the door and an easy walk or ride into town for food. Kids loved the farm life out the windows. Space was clean, organized, and having a bathroom per room was really nice. 100% would stay here again.”

“Everyone loved the property, it was perfect, we had plenty of space. A stunning dining area, allowing us all to sit down at the table for family meals. The sitting room and chair by Ben Nevis had beautiful views. There is something for everyone from books, games, TV to the beautiful electric piano with music books. Jonathan had everything covered, even the small things we take for granted and you forget to pack. Throughout the week, I heard multiple times how everyone in our family thought the property was beautiful, its decor, location and being well equipped. We are very appreciative to have stayed in such an amazing house, with a great host. I would highly recommend and would love to return in the future.”

“A cosy and beautiful property for 10 people, exceptionally furnished and equipped, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful stay at the foot of Ben Nevis, while also enjoying convivial moments in the dining room or one of the lounges. The property offers comfort beyond our expectations, and you can sense the hosts' commitment in every detail of the house, as well as in their extremely friendly communication with their guests. We couldn't have asked for anything better, and we were even sad not to stay there longer during our trip to Scotland!”

“Fabulous stay at HighWinds. Amazing property exceptionally well equipped. On arrival everything we needed was there - great welcome pack! And the location, those views of Ben Nevis - absolutely perfect! Thank you!”

“We had a lovely time at Jonathon’s home. He went above and beyond to make our experience special. He was quick to respond to messages, he was flexible with check in and he provided us with lots of food for our stay. The home was beautiful, tidy and clean, just like the photos show. The garden is secure which was perfect for our 3 dogs and you get views of Ben Nevis right from the house.”

“We were a large-ish group (2 families, 4 adults and 6 kids in total) and we absolutely loved the house. Very spacious. Every space is clean, newly furnished and well thought out. Lots of personalized welcome touches that made a difference. Kitchen was pristine, and had everything we needed. Bathrooms and all the house absolutely spotless. The house manual is very impressive, and extremely helpful, take a look at the website. We used one of the recommendations for one of our trips and we felt we had hit the jackpot. I have been in many AirBnbs over the years, and this is definitely at or very close to the top! Thanks Jonathan!”

“I would highly recommend staying in this Airbnb. The house is stunning with all the amenities you need and beyond. This was a home away from home and the location was superb! What more would you want than overlooking Ben Nevis! Thank you Jonathan for making our stay feel so special. Really hope to be back soon.”

“If you are looking for a place to stay in Fort William, stop, rent this place, and you’re in for a most amazing Airbnb experience. This is the most comfortable, beautiful, enjoyable experience we’ve ever had at any place we’ve ever stayed. If I could give 6 stars, I would. The views of Ben Nevis are amazing. The house is new, clean, beautifully appointed, and the kitchen was tremendous. Jonathan’s guide and website were super-helpful. We loved having all the maps and books of the area and Scotland. And what a treat to arrive after a long day of travel and find the kitchen loaded with snacks.”

“Jonathan is an excellent host, really responsive and proactive with instructions. The lodge itself is lovely. Very easy to find and with great views. Everything needed and more is provided at the lodge. We had a lovely time.”

“The best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in, the standards of the house were very high, lovely rooms, fully connected sound system throughout the house, we were greeted with food, walking essentials and drinks. Host catered for all of our needs, very thoughtful and we appreciated it after long travel. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need to make you feel right at home. Would 100% recommend this place to stay to anyone, couldn’t fault a thing… thank you!”

“What a wonderful place to stay! It was very comfortable, clean, nicely decorated, with everything our group of 9 needed. Such a beautiful location as well, it was perfect! Jonathan was a great host and even left us snacks and a nice card congratulating us on our anniversary. Absolutely would recommend!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful house and the stunning surroundings! The view of Ben Nevis is magnificent, and there is plenty to see and do in the area. Pleasant communication with host Jonathan. An absolute must!”

“Would rate 7 stars if possible. Definitely one of the best stays we've had. Great communication, the accommodation is actually larger than the pictures portrayed, curated with great local books, soaps, etc. Jonathan was proactive, gave us a bunch of information early and we were able to check in a bit early as well. Location is great, running and hiking right out the door and an easy walk or ride into town for food. Kids loved the farm life out the windows. Space was clean, organized, and having a bathroom per room was really nice. 100% would stay here again.”

“Everyone loved the property, it was perfect, we had plenty of space. A stunning dining area, allowing us all to sit down at the table for family meals. The sitting room and chair by Ben Nevis had beautiful views. There is something for everyone from books, games, TV to the beautiful electric piano with music books. Jonathan had everything covered, even the small things we take for granted and you forget to pack. Throughout the week, I heard multiple times how everyone in our family thought the property was beautiful, its decor, location and being well equipped. We are very appreciative to have stayed in such an amazing house, with a great host. I would highly recommend and would love to return in the future.”

“A cosy and beautiful property for 10 people, exceptionally furnished and equipped, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful stay at the foot of Ben Nevis, while also enjoying convivial moments in the dining room or one of the lounges. The property offers comfort beyond our expectations, and you can sense the hosts' commitment in every detail of the house, as well as in their extremely friendly communication with their guests. We couldn't have asked for anything better, and we were even sad not to stay there longer during our trip to Scotland!”
