With stunning views of Loch Linnhe and the Ardgour hills, Seafield House in Fort William is set in its own pleasant grounds, with outdoor seating, off-road parking and a secure pedal-cycle store.
A short, scenic, loch-side walk from Seafield House (10-15 minutes) brings you to the centre of the town itself.
The town is also renowned as the starting point for the “Road to the Isles”.
Fort William is situated on the A82 just over 100 miles from either Glasgow or Perth, at the southern end of the “Great Glen”.
Fort William nestles in the lea of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain, with spectacular scenery in all directions.
There is a profusion of shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs, several providing music and entertainment, and an excellent leisure centre with a swimming pool, sauna and gym.
We are conveniently situated for trips to Skye and the Small Isles, the Ardnamurchan peninsula (“where the sun sets later”) or to majestic and awesome Glencoe, scene of the infamous massacre of the MacDonald clan in 1692. The journey by steam train to Mallaig is justifiably regarded as one of the most scenic in Europe.
Outdoor facilities nearby include a cable-car almost to the summit of Aonach Mor, adjacent to Ben Nevis, where there is a café, restaurant, ski-ing and snow-boarding (in season), walking and mountain-bike trails. Indoor rock- and ice-wall climbing and tuition facilities are available at the Ice Factor at nearby Kinlochleven.
It is an ideal base for walking, cycling, canoeing, horse-riding, bird-watching, fishing, golf, nature cruises (with the possibility of dolphin- and whale-watching) or simply relaxing, perhaps with a wee dram or two - Fort William has its own, deservedly famous, distillery.
Seafield House is situated on the south side of Fort William. From the town centre, travel south on the A82 for approximately half a mile beyond the West End roundabout. At the tourist sign “Bed & Breakfast up hill” turn left into Seafield Gardens and Seafield house is on the right after approximately 200 metres.
