  The owner Mo is such a friendly and helpful person and nothing is a bother, her welcome pack included milk, cheese, biscuits both human and dogs, and a lovely cake. The garden area is totally dog proof as our 2 proved. Kath and I would highly recommend this jewel to anyone wanting a quiet and restful place to re-charge the batteries. Thanks Mo.

The Garden Flat was complete comfort. Nice comfy furniture and the bed was bliss. Great views of Ben Nevis, and a great location for visiting popular destinations. An area with lovely dog-walks.

  Well decorated and well stocked with everything you would ever need and more. The owner Mo is a lovely lady and very helpful. Only thing I didnt like was the hard bed, needs a topper on it to soften up slightly. Other than that ideal little haven.

• "We had a lovely stay at The Garden Flat in November 2021."

  It was warm, comfortable and very clean - the underfloor heating makes it very cozy. The kitchen is well equipped and we had everything we needed. The drying rack in the bathroom was very useful for drying wet outdoors kit! The location was convenient, it is down a quiet lane so no road noise, but is only a short drive onto the main road and very close to Fort William. It is very dog friendly with an enclosed garden space at the front and the dog biscuits left on arrival were a lovely touch. The owners are very welcoming and Moira was really helpful in recommending local places to go. The owners live above the property so you can hear some movement at times. Overall I would certainly recommend this as somewhere to stay and definitely hope to return.

• "Another great stay at The Garden Flat."

  Mo is always so welcoming with loads of good suggestions of places to walk and eat out. It’s always clean and homely for our arrival. The garden is perfect for the dogs who both had a great stay. The Garden flat has lovely walking straight across the A82 in the Nevis Range forest trails and a lovely walk up the lane which twists back to Fort William. We thoroughly recommend a stay at The Garden Flat.

• "The property is located in a lovely spot with excellent views."

  It was warm, clean and comfortable. The underfloor heating was superb. The bed was comfortable but on a personal note too low for me. The owners live above the property so some movement can be heard but not noisy. Moira and Dave were excellent hosts and welcomed us on arrival. They had left milk and biscuits for us and even gave us a gift for our Wedding Anniversary which we celebrated there. We would certainly recommend this property.

  It is set in a peaceful location and the flat itself is cosy, clean, tidy and the owner Moira has thought of everything you may need. From the Garden flat we were able to visit Loch Ness, Oban, Skye as well as Glenfinnan viaduct and those nearer areas such as Glencoe and the Nevis range.

Garden full of wildlife, elusive red squirrels, woodpeckers and a host of other birds and fauna.

• "The flat itself is equipped to the highest standard with everything that you could possibly need."

  Watching the birds feeding was brilliant from the window, I personally found it very therapeutic and hypnotic, I could’ve watched them all day. The location is fantastic, the walks nearby were great for us and our 2 little dogs. We are not ardent hill walkers or climbers, we just appreciate all the scenery that this area of the Highlands offers. Glen Nevis and the mountains are the main draw, but there are so many journeys nearby within a couple of hours or less that are outstanding by car, the journey between Fort William and Mallaig is literally draw dropping, with lots of wildlife seen including deer, mountain goats etc, and popping over to the Cairngorms or Pitlochry are great too, this journey past the dam is another beautiful route to travel. Mo the owner is one of the most welcoming hosts we’ve ever come across, and we were made to feel very welcome from the moment of booking, right through to arriving. Just can’t express our gratitude enough for a wonderful 7 days, in a wonderful location surrounded by wonderful scenery, and a wonderful kind host. Highly recommend

• "Really not impressed."

  It is day 3 of being woken up by the owners dogs running like a herd of elephants over the top. It is 3am and I have been woken yet again after coming here to escape the London noise. You should mention the lack of sound proofing and extremely noisy neighbor. I am consequently not enjoying my stay and I am beginning to get unwell from sleep deprivation. The other night we were woken at 12am and I was rudely awoken in the morning the day before. It is absolutely not acceptable. How will you compensate me for lost holiday time?

  The cottage is up a quiet road ( but not too far ) .and is a bit of a sun trap providing you get the sun which we did for most of the week .It's the luck of the draw as these things have to be booked a long way in advance.Fort William is just 5 minuets away by car ,We did Malaig twice ,once to take the ferry to Skye and then a bus ride to Portree although this is a very limited service.You can take your car but you must book on this route or be disappointed.We also had a very good meal ( at pub prices ) at the Crofter's bar and restaurant in Fort William .again book or you might find yourself hungry and in a queue..We enjoyed a walk to the river from the cottage ,take a sandwich and drink ,there is one picnic table .We found the cottage had everything that you would need for a holiday,The bed was very comfortable and the shower invigorating.everthing worked and the owner is on site if you have any quire's or problems .Off street parking as well..Oh and there is the commando memorial at Spein Bridge ,take five minutes to peruse the memorial garden.that generation gave so much!

  There was also tea coffee and milk so if you hadn't packed it yourself you could have a brew before unpacking. The garden flat was bigger than I thought it would be. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 labradors. Kitchen had everything you needed, including a slow cooker. It also had a nice enclosed courtyard garden with views of the Nevis range. Torlundy is at the base of the north face approach to Ben Nevis, if you like climbing, so very handy. There are several lower level walks in the area too. There's no shops in the area so you have to drive into Fort William if you want anything. Moira the owner was very nice, asking if we'd had a nice day and what we'd enjoyed. Overall we had a nice comfortable week.
