The Victorian building exuded charm, and the sunny dining room offered breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. the cozy lounge with a real fire was the perfect spot to relax after a long day of hiking. I especially appreciated the option to hire a towel for a small fee and the unlimited free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate available. As a nature lover, I was thrilled to explore the nearby Glen Nevis, known for its picturesque waterfalls and ancient pine forests. the property also offered activities like hiking, skiing, and cycling, ensuring there was never a dull moment. In conclusion, Fort William Backpackers provided me with a fantastic base for my Scottish adventure, combining comfort, convenience, and unparalleled views.
